Description: | Grave. RSY Grave 50. Outside archaic cemetery on the lower slopes of the Hill of the Nymphs, cremation burial. Roughly square pit (0.80x1.00m). This pit contained a heavy deposit of cinders and ash; its walls and floor were reddened and hardened by fire, which must have burned on the spot. Among the ashes and cinders were found a few splinters of calcined bones, evidently human. | |
