| Description: | Mycenaean burial (no offerings) in NW corner of Stoa Terrace (original north end). " It consisted merely of an adult skeleton lying in an extended position with head to east and the left leg slightly flexed at the knee. It seemed to be a cist about 1.60m long by 070m wide. Although the exact form of the grave was not determined- the tomb looks more like a partially-lined simple pit grave than a true cist-and despite the fact that no grave goods were found, the tomb was designated Mycenaean, although the excavator always thought of it as Protogeometric." According to Papadopoulos "a Mycenaean date for the tomb cannot be established and remains a possibility, and a Protogeometric date, on the basis of the evidence, cannot be categorically dismissed." Discarded. | |
