The entire north side of the chamber had been cut away by Stoa Pier 12 and most of the depth by leveling operations in connection with Square Building, so that the greatest preserved depth was only 0.25m. What remained of the chamber measured 1.30m east-west by 0.90m north-south. Despite the disturbance two skeletons were found in order as far as their thighs, lying inn a north-south position with their heads to the south; the east skeleton lay on its right side with the right hand under the head, the left over the chest; the west skeleton had the left arm raised to its chin, the right arm at its side. There was no trace of offerings of any kind, but these may have been in the north part which was demolished by the Stoa Pier. |

After we removed the fill within the basin on the west side of Roman Room B (BZ XXVII p. 5325), we began excavating in the cutting on the east face of a conglomerate block that is part of Wall A. The cutting was semicircular, and the fill was silty and very hard-packed. The cutting is probably a drain that carried water from the basin through Wall A and onto the North-South Road. Seventy-eight coins were found in the fill, of varying sizes but all badly corroded. |

The largest pit measuring 1.70m east-west by about 1.20m north-south and having a maximum depth of 0.90m was situated from five to ten meters northeast of the gully proper and was cut at the north by the back wall of Northeast Stoa, which was set down a little into it.
The gully itself ran in a southwesterly direction and yielded about twenty small painted sherds, fragmentary cooking pots, unglazed kylix stems, fragments from pithoi and other coarse pots, as well as part of a stone grinder and many animal bones.
... Because of its proximity to the chamber tombs and because of the exceptional quality of several of the vases, it seems likely that some of the material came from disturbed tombs
