Category: | Burial | |
Description: | RSY Grave A. Under the Roman House with three rooms floored with mosaic near the southwest side of the area. The burial consisted of a pot laid on its side over the bedrock, presumably containing a child. Such bones as were found were human, but seemed too big to fit in the pot. They were not burned. The grave had been disturbed in early times by the building of a wall (6th or 5th century B.C.) which in part overlay it; only the part of the pot immediately over the stereo was preserved. it was an amphora with banded body and conventional ornaments on the reserved neck, probably late 8th century. | |
Notes: | Pottery nondescript geometric, a little proto-geometric, discarded. | |
