To Sarre Cemetery Introduction

GRAVE 198 - At the foot of the grave was a small hole containing human bones. 
   Finds  Also about forty counters of bone or ivory, like those of grave No. VI., fifteen of which had two holes, penetrating some half inch, cleanly cut into their flat bottoms, doubtless a distinguishing mark; and with them were two dice, much decayed, one however bearing the mark of cinq, the other that of six, exactly as in modern dice, distinctly visible.
   In this grave were also two gilt stud-heads or rivets, still quite bright; a bronze buckle, and one of iron, and two small spear-heads. The grave measured seven feet by four. The lower end had been disturbed.
