Title: | Sacrificial Pyre in NN | |
Category: | Pyre | |
Description: | Sacrificial pyre, disturbed; a small pyxis (P 14864) is close to that from B 18:4. First half of 4th. c. B.C., perhaps first quarter. West of House C. Pottery and cinders in pit in stratum. The pyre was excavated in two parts: the first in 1939 (A 18:3) and the second in 1940. Its integrity as a single pyre was not recognized until later. Construction of a Roman house had removed all trace of earlier structures here. Cinders lay under and among the pottery, so the pyre was probably burnt in situ. No bone was recorded. | |
