(Res.d'A.). Three third millenium child burials from north east Syria contain some representational beads which have several interesting comparisons to later Lamastu incantations and amulets. The context of of these beads is presented and their possible relations to the third millenium incantations as well as the later Lamastu ones are discussed.
