Excavation was carried out in advance of development within the western half of Site E of the previous large-scale excavations. Twenty-six graves not previously examined, were excavated. All the inhumations were buried in wooden coffins. One coffin had been packed with gypsum. Most burials lacked grave goods but one had a bone comb and an iron pin and one other had a coin placed in its mouth.
