The dromos had two lateral niches used for the burials of children, two in the right-hand or western niche, one in the eastern niche. The niches are symmetrically placed with respect to the doorway, but the eastern niche was at a considerably higher level and contained no offerings. The tomb had not been robbed or disturbed in post-Mycenaean times, for the doors of the main chamber and the niches were found closed with rough rubble walls.","26 June-9 July 1951","","Myc.
