8525	(none)	(none)	(none)	Beads A string composed of 5 carnelian and 4 gold long double conoid beads L. 0052 and one flattened ovoid carnelian: and between these small fluted balls of gold and lapis: see field notes.
8497	(none)	(none)	(none)	String of beads Worn over a silver diadem round the forehead. String consists of minute lapis ball beads and of oblong rectangular gold and lapis spacers. Gold and lapis spacers strung alternately with lapis and carnelian beads placed alternately between each spacer. Carnelian beads all minute ring beads. The silver diadem was entirely broken and destroyed. 6 gold spacers; 6 lapis lazuli spacers.
8495	(none)	(none)	(none)	Necklace Consisting of 8 gold foil ribbed triangles each perforated six times being spacers for a six stringed necklace 133 lapis lazuli double conoids 6 lapis spacers triangular and ribbed, to hold 3 strings, perforated 3 times. The beads were confused and it was difficult to be certain of the original order but the triangular gold spacers were arranged thus: [drawing] Top tier base downwards. Bottom tier base upwards. All the lapis beads were confused, but the big were grouped together and the small were grouped together.
8469	(none)	(none)	B16824	5 beads. 2 ball lapis, 2 double conoid lapis, 1 double conoid carnelian.
8465	(none)	(none)	(none)	5 beads. 1 carnelian double conoid, 2 carnelian barrel beads. 1 lapis barrel bead and 1 lapis bead in the form of an eye socket.

8446C	(none)	(none)	B16803	178 beads Lapis double conoids, barrel beads and bugle beads Carnelian barrel beads 4 minute gold beads Originally these formed [A-C] 3 necklaces apparently worn round the neck one above the other. The bottom necklace consisted of the larger lapis beads, the necklace above of smaller lapis. The top string of lapis, carnelian and gold. Gold and carnelian were always next to one another, and between each gold and carnelian apparently 2 lapis.
