Although a simple grave with a single interment, the pit was packed with gifts. These consisted of ten vases, among them the beautiful Lily Bowl, which form a fine early group, a necklace, ivory comb and a pin, and a collection of seashells.","No later than mid-15th c.","Agora","","","19 May 1951","","Agora:Deposit:N 7:2","N 7:2"

The plan revealed a square chamber (1.80m by 1.80m), entered by a sloping dromos (0.90m wide and preserved to a length of 2.5m) from the northeast. ; The reason for the scantiness of the remains and the incomplete condition of the skeletons is however, to be explained by an earlier disturbance. Apparently much of the tomb had been cut away by workmen who were engaged in digging the foundations for a large monument in the 4th c. B.C. and once they had struck the skeletons reverence for the dead induced them to shift the monument westward by its own width.","Myc.

Only the lowest part of the tomb pit was preserved; the upper part was cut away in the Classical period. The very northern end of the original pit tomb may have been cut by the foundations for the Stoa of Attalos. As preserved, the tomb measured ca. 1.20m long and about 0.60m wide. A thin irregular unworked schist slab, ca. 0.47x0.67m, remained from the floor of the tomb pit.; On  it were a few bone fragments of a child and six vessels.; The tomb as preserved, was first encountered by workmen constructing a drain for the Stoa and the relative positions of the vases and the human bone were not accurately recorded.","Earlier-Developed Protogeometric","Agora","","","15 August 1953","","Agora:Deposit:Q 8:5","Q 8:5"

The sides of the pit were lined and the floor paved with unworked or only roughly hewn slabs of schist (Th. 0.10-0.15m), defining a cist. The floor of the cist was further covered with a thin layer of sand. The external dimensions of the tomb were 1.17x0.50m; the inner dimensions 1.08m long,, 0.30m wide, and 0.21m deep. The skeleton of a child (7-8 years at death) was found on its back in a fully extended supine position, head to the south, filling the cist almost entirely. This was one of the better-furnished tombs: grave goods included a metal pin on either shoulder, with the pin-heads toward the south. ; The tomb was partly filled with, and totally covered by fieldstones.","Earlier-Developed Protogeometric","Agora","","","18-19 August 1953","","Agora:Deposit:Q 8:6","Q 8:6"
