Investigations of this tomb resulted in the discovery of two burial levels. The lower level, dating to the Wadi Suq period, contain a number of skeletons mostly in disturbed condition. The upper burial level contained only a few skeletal remains. Grave good excavated at the site include bronze arrowheads, Wadi Suq pottery, and numerous pieces of jewlery.
