"West grave contained thoroughly disturbed bones of 4 adults and 1 child, and an infant. One skull had vertical front suture as in T. 12 objects included jewelry, two whole glass vases, a Byzantine unguentarium, one Late Roman coin, and one (obj. No. 1529) of Honorius AD 395 - 423, early Byzantine. This legible coin and all the pottery indicated that the tomb was used in the Early Byzantine period and reused over a number of years."
