Discussion: This burial contained the partially articulated skeleton of a juvenile (4-6 years). The elements that were not disturbed were the skull, left shoulder (scapula and humerus), the right ilium and some sacral and lumbar elements, some ribs and the right leg. No grave goods were located, unless the worked bone is form the later period and is not just Chalcolithic fill. The orientation was east-west, extended with head in the western end of grave. Many elements were disturbed, so body positioning cannot be described further.
