Some houses had none at all, while others had one and occasionally two. In the 5,700squaremetersuncovered in this zone, 37 houses and 14 tombs have been isolated. Even though many houses have not been excavatedentirely,it is evident that certain residences did not possess tombs. The ratio in this area is one tomb to every two to three houses.
