Identified as sacrificial pyre by SIR on Agoraios Kolonos:; In southeast corner of house 3. 35 artifacts, bone and charred material in pit, in floor sequence. The pottery and burnt deposit lay in the lowest 0.08m of the pit, which was filled with earth and topped with a broken tile. The pyre lay below two floors: a lower floor not closely datable and an upper floor with pottery largely of the 3rd c. The pyre is more likely to be associated with a reflooring and perhaps installation of the basins than the original construction. The size and constitution of the pyre, along with two foci of burning, suggest the assemblage may represent the remnants of two different pyres.","F 5:2","","","Deposit" "West Chamber","","1-16 April 1937","Use filling early 1st-2nd c.

No traces of early graves were found in the area; first sign of habitation is pottery from the last half of the 5th century B.C. found in metal working pits in connection with a drain and a road. The best preserved material belongs to the 4th century B.C. The area was probably covered with houses of which five establishments were well preserved, several others less preserved.; In the early 3rd century the easternmost houses went out of use to leave space for the Hellenistic Building.; In the early Roman period a filling of large sherds covered most of the area, probably due to the general building activity of that period. In section ΛΛ, a great stair was constructed.; In the late 4th century A.D. the area suffered much damage.; In the Byzantine period blocks of houses were set over the whole area, and this settlement, when combined with those of ΜΜ and ΚΚ, present interesting material for the study of medieval Athens.","1937 ΛΛ","Checked","","Report"
