Fill of tomb cut 3024, tomb contains skeleton 3032 (tomb 58), 3035 (tomb 39), and (tomb 40) in niches on the E, N nd W sides respectively. Fill was all the same, full of tufa inclusions with the same soil color throughout. Fill was deposited most likely at the same time, after all 3 skeletons had been deposited. The homogenous nature of the fills supports this, as does the N skeleton (SU 3033), which was most likely originally deposited with an organic barrier (probably wood) between it and the main central shaft of the tomb fill, as the barrier broke and then decomposed. The skeleton was moved S by the sediment and broken in a NS axis. Special finds 341, 342 - bronze fragments, hwere found on the N end of the tomb but not in association with the skeleton. Iron nails 345, 346, 348, 349, 350, 352 were found in ssociation with the W skeleton (SU 3034) these likely relate to an organic stretcher upon which each body was placed. Bronze 347 and 351, 355 (spool shaped ornaments), and special find 354 (worked bone) were found in association with the E skeleton (SU 3032) and are part of a necklace (special finds 356, SU 3035) deposited as a personal ornament for this skeleton. A layer of larger stones appeared at a depth of 1.53 m, possibly associated with tom cuts bedrock of niches weak and subsided both before and during excavation disarticulating the skeletons. A large, fragmentary, dolium was found near the bottom of the fill, possibly associated with the skeleton.
