Title:   Urn-Burial of Two Infants
Supervisor:   Rodney S. Young
Category:   Burial
Description:   Grave 13 in notebook.
Two skeletons of small children lay in a pithos which had been put on its side; its mouth was stopped by a stone slab.
Most offerings were inside the pithos, but two kantharoi and two oinochoai were placed outside.
An animal bone was found under a coarse pitcher left outside the pithos at its mouth; carbonized matter, perhaps from a food offering, was found in one of the kantharoi.
No evidence of re-opening, hence this was probably a double funeral.
