Bones discarded. Urn cremation (trench-and-hole).; JP; ; Roughly rectangular trench cut through hard earth into bedrock to a depth of about 0.35m, approximately 1m long and 0.50m wide. Trench oriented southeast-northwest, with the urn-hole adjoining the southeast corner. The ground around the mouth of the trench, its rims and walls, were reddened and baked hard by burning in situ. The urn-hole (diameter ca. 0.34m and about 0.35m deep- was evidently cut after the fire had subsided, not quite deep enough to conceal the full height of the cinerary urn below the floor of the trench. A fire-hardened mudbrick, 0.23m square and 0.08-0.09m thick, formed a barrier between the urn and the trench.; The rectangular trench yielded pyre refuse that was recovered in two distinct layers. The uppermost layer , to a depth of 0.20m, was characterized by loose  blackened earth mixed with  ash and charcoal. The lower stratum, 0.15m deep, comprised hard burned earth with pieces of cremated bone and carbonized matter.","Deposit","","Rodney S.

At this point the full western extent of the chamber has not been located because of a dividing baulk and a possible second chamber or passage appears to open at the northeast. At season-end, the chamber measures about 3x2.25 m. The ceiling collapsed over the center of the tomb in antiquity, but large segments  are preserved along the walls indicating that the chamber was at least 1.25 m high.; The chamber was disturbed during the Late Geometric period (ca. 700 B.C or the decades shortly thereafter), when it was packed with fill, apparently as part of a deliberate operation.; Two articulated skeleton, both adult females (one with fetus in utero), were found along the northern and southern walls of the chamber, respectively. The skeleton along the southern wall wore a necklace of carnelian and glass-paste beads, which was excavated in situ. Just to the north, we excavated additional glass-paste beads, presumably part of a second strand.; The work on J 1:11 was concluded in the 2015 season. A small cutting at the northeastern boundary of the chamber was explored. We removed a segment of the preserved ceiling  that measured about 1m by 0.50-0.60m, in order to reach this cutting safely. A wide and steeply sloping dromos was revealed, approaching the chamber from the west (with later well J 1:12 cutting through its eastern extent). The southern edge of the dromos, cutting into the marl bedrock, was excavated up to Wall 7. Only a small portion  of the northern edge, cutting into the rocky red virgin fill, could be revealed; the remainder is presently concealed under the scarp of still-standing Wall P. the stomion and its intact blocking wall were found behind  a thin layer of fill centered at the western side of the chamber. The blocking wall consists of  typical rubble construction , but includes an unusual vertical slab that acted as a jam. At the end of season, a strip of fill remained atop the blocking wall.; ; Cf.

With exception of north tunnel (which contains nothing later than 300), all parts seem to have been filled at the same time. ; The entire interior was covered with a single coat of waterproof plaster. The system went out of use, no doubt because of the repeated caving in of the soft bedrock in which it was cut. Thus the blind tunnel leading off from the draw-shaft was first shortened 0.50m by a wall of field stones set in clay and carefully plastered on the face toward the shaft. Later, the entire tunnel was blocked off by a similar wall set in the side of shaft. About the same time,the southern chamber was dispensed with and the mouth of the passage leading to the north chamber was carefully walled, the one plastered face of the wall looking toward the northern chamber. Some rubbish would seem to have been thrown into the abandoned southern chamber, but later, perhaps because it was proposed to use this chamber for dry storage, the rubbish was shoveled into the blind tunnel and the mouth of that tunnel closed with a carelessly built wall of loose field stones. Some years later, the chamber was finally abandoned and filled in with earth. In the meantime , the passageway connecting the two chambers was sacrificed and its remaining mouth closed by a wall looking into the northern chamber.; ; The network of underground reservoirs intended to supply the private houses of classical times which must have stood there to the south of the public market-square.
