IGN36

Tomb IGN36 is located on the southern side of the AlBanat necropolis, with its entrance facing south. The tomb is situated in a high position on the slope, making it invisible from the ground. The easiest access is via the stairs carved into the rock at Tomb IGN31, followed by the natural formation of the massif to reach the necessary height. The tomb consists of a small burial niche with a rectangular opening, and it appears to lack any external decorations.

The interior comprises a single small-sized room devoid of additional burial structures. The geological defects present on the exterior, particularly the fractures, continue inside along the outermost perimeter. Along the lower perimeter of the niche runs a stratification rich in clasts of small dimensions.
