Title: | Double Pit Grave | |
Category: | Burial | |
Description: | Mycenaean Double Grave (Graves A and B). Grave A was in Layer II. We laid a skull and a few other bones, three vases and a stone bead. We have dug to a maximum of about 0.06m below the top of Layer II. It contained two skeletons. To the South of Grave A and separated from it by a narrow wall apparently of bedrock, was part of another grave. It contained one skeleton. All of the pottery and bones in both graves are badly crushed. | |
Notes: | The skeletal material (AA 177)... does not agree with the evidence of the plan and the excavator’s description since AA 177 consisted of bones of a M. about 40 to the north, and a F.(?) to the south, whereas the plan clearly shows three skulls, apparently all children. Cf. Agora XIII, p. 195, n. 1. | |
