| Title: | Pyre in Stoa Shop VI | |
| Category: | Pyre | |
| Description: | Shallow pit below layer I in Stoa Shop VI (Pyre) Diameter 0.90; D. 0.15m Under shop VI of the Stoa of Attalos Pottery, ash, burning and packing of small stones in pit in stratum. The pyre was covered by layer I (Lot ΣΑ 495) and was visible in the surface of layer II, into which it had been dug. Layer II in turn covered a cobbled surface flush with a water channel. Two other pits with ash were found, but without pottery. The pyre must date at least as late as layer II, and probably not too much later. No contemporary structures, wells, or cisterns were preserved in this area, but it is about 10m south of the mudbrick commercial building that functioned in the second quarter of the 2nd c., and had a predecessor of unknown date. One pot shows signs of burning. No bone was recorded. | |
