8019A (none) 1928,1009.142 (none) [A-B] Two lapis eye sockets. Intended to have shell iris set in (cf. one attached to U.8013)
8013A (none) (none) B17084 [A and B] Two silver bracelets. Made of three twists of wire. To one of these is attached by corrosion an [C] object of silver apparently containing a cockle shell [D]; the cockle shell has in it green pigment and was covered by a silver shell (broken) thus: [drawing] though it is impossible to say whether the shell is really belonging or only accidentally attached. Various beads are also attached by corrosion to the bracelet and also [E] an eye of lapis with white shell filling.
8013D (none) (none) B16838 [A and B] Two silver bracelets. Made of three twists of wire. To one of these is attached by corrosion an [C] object of silver apparently containing a cockle shell [D]; the cockle shell has in it green pigment and was covered by a silver shell (broken) thus: [drawing] though it is impossible to say whether the shell is really belonging or only accidentally attached.

8009 (none) (none) B17622 White shell beads. All small, mostly minute: several thousands of them, with one white spacer.
8020A (none) (none) (none) Two squares. [A] One of white bone. [B] One of dark grey stone. Each set with 5 inlay dots, black on the white square, white on the black, thus: [drawing 1:1]
8020B (none) (none) (none) Two squares. [A] One of white bone. [B] One of dark grey stone. Each set with 5 inlay dots, black on the white square, white on the black, thus: [drawing 1:1]
8019B (none) (none) (none) Two lapis eye sockets [A-B]. Intended to have shell iris set in (cf. one attached to U.8013)
8017 (none) (none) (none) Two gold beads. Elongated double conoids made of thin gold leaf over a core which has split and decayed, leaving the gold in fragments. These beads went with U.8011.
8000 (none) 1928,1009.184 (none) Three silver cockle shells. One inside the other. The inner one shows signs of a red substance perhaps a pigment. Natural size.
7998 (none) 1928,1009.423 (none) Stone vase. White calcite. Small vertical-sided bowl; covered with a cockle-shell containing green pigment. Type VI.
7999 (none) 1928,1009.427 (none) Stone vase. Hemispherical bowl. White calcite(?) blackened by fire. Containing black substance, presumably a pigment. Type IX.
7997 (none) (none) B17137 Stone pot. White calcite. Open straight-sided bowl containing yellow pigment. [drawing] Type XIII.
7996 (none) (none) B17164 Stone pot. Coarse white calcite or limestone. Containing a black pigment. Type IX.
8007A (none) (none) B16770 Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing]. [B] A copper pin 0075 long was corroded on the back [C] (as were many beads) but need not belong to it. The three are cataloged under the same number.
8007B (none) (none) B17462 Silver plaque in two parts. [A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing].

8008 (none) (none) B16815 Lapis lazuli beads. A great number, all small, some minute. With lapis spacers for 3 parallel strings.
8005 (none) (none) (none) Gold ornament. A pear-shaped bead(?) pierced longitudinally, on which is perched a small bird apparently pecking at the fruit. In spite of the minute size the bird is well done and the eye and all the feathers are marked.
8003 (none) 1928,1009.175 (none) Gold diadem. Made of fairly heavy strip gold, plain, but with a line of minute punctures along each edge.
8002 (none) 1928,1009.68 (none) Gold and lapis chain. A very fine chain of gold wire links. Six lengths of chain connecting 5 double conoid lapis beads. The chain is square in section.
