Agora Deposit: Q 7:2

Title:		Dromos of Chamber Tomb
Category:		Burial
Description:		Dromos of a Mycenaean Tomb at N end of Stoa Terrace (Burial 3). No remains. Perhaps to be associated with dromos of a Mycenaean chamber tomb (?) observed in this area (XIV, p. 2707). Tomb found when workmen were clearing the bottom stratum of the foundations of the Stoa colonnade at its northern end. A soft spot in the earth revealed a cutting about 0.95m wide running from west to east and sloping downward toward the east, apparently the dromos of a chamber tomb, with its chamber under the stylobate foundations of the Stoa. The cutting was filled with greenish earth and contained only two sherds. The chamber and its burials could not be excavated, if indeed they had been spared by the Stoa builders.
Notes:		See footnote 1 in Agora XIII, p. 218, under Tomb XXII: "although there is no mention of skeletal material in nb. AA 150 (analyzed by Angel as F. of 24) has been assigned to this deposit.
