Category: | Burial | |
Description: | Mycenaean Chamber Tomb by Stoa Pier 12 (Burial 10). The entire north side of the chamber had been cut away by Stoa Pier 12 and most of the depth by leveling operations in connection with Square Building, so that the greatest preserved depth was only 0.25m. What remained of the chamber measured 1.30m east-west by 0.90m north-south. Despite the disturbance two skeletons were found in order as far as their thighs, lying inn a north-south position with their heads to the south; the east skeleton lay on its right side with the right hand under the head, the left over the chest; the west skeleton had the left arm raised to its chin, the right arm at its side. There was no trace of offerings of any kind, but these may have been in the north part which was demolished by the Stoa Pier. | |
Notes: | No offerings. | |
