Rectangular trench cut through earth into bedrock, oriented east-west ... Middle Geometric I ... Rectangular trench cut through earth into bedrock, oriented east-west and measuring 1.10m long, 0.70m wide and under 0.30m deep. ... According to the excavator, cremated skull fragments were encountered at the east end of the trench, leg bones near the west end. Burned and unburned sherds representing at least nine vessels were found throughout the trench. The inclusion of the fragmentary cooking pot or chytra led Smithson to suggest that the deceased was a woman. |

Cremation burial (trench-and-hole) under S. edge of E-W Street, southern burial. ... As preserved, the trench measured ca. 1.05x 0.60m, and was presumably oriented east-west, but as the north side was destroyed it is possible that the trench extended toward the north and may, therefore, have had a north-south orientation. ... The floor of the trench was not as heavily burned as that of other related cremation tombs, though there was within it,particularly toward the west, a thick deposit of ash, charcoal, and burned sherds, representing pyre debris. |

JP
Roughly circular pit measuring 0.39m in diameter cut into bedrock to a depth of 0.72m. Pyre refuse-described as "ashes and cinders etc"- was encountered throughout the tomb pit, below, around and above the urn. although there is no specific mention of a trench, Young's description of the tomb suggests that a rectangular trench, with a maximum length of about 0.80m and a preserved width of ca. 0.60m, was cut through earth into bedrock. consequently, the tomb appears to be a classic example of an Athenian trench-and-hole, oriented east-west,with the urn-hole at the east. |

The northern part of the tomb had been cut away by the foundation trench for the south stylobate of the Square Building that preceded the Stoa, and the dromos, if one existed, must have been lost in this operation.

Prehistoric ... Burial of a woman (young adult female ca. 18-20); precise dating difficult due to disturbance by later features, but the amount of Neolithic and Geometric pottery extracted from the trench is significant. No cutting found for grave, but area seems to have been demarcated by rows of stones to the north and south, bedrock to west. No associated finds.
Body partially rests on bedrock, tightly contracted position with head at east. |

Boots or Booties Grave. Near the west branch of the Great Drain, about 100m to the southwest of the Agora horos inscription ... Early Geometric I ... According to Young's publication "the burial found in 1948 to the southwest of the Agora, was made in a pit cut into the bedrock, roughly rectangular in shape, with a maximum east-west width of 0.65m. Its depth along the east side was about 0.50m; along the west side it was somewhat less owing to the slope of the bedrock. ... Rough walls of dry stone were built up to east and west of the deep hole containing the ash-urn; these served to support the ends of slab of a bluish-grey limestone placed as a cover to protect the amphora with its ashes. |

Neat, rectangular, unlined trench, cut into bedrock to a preserved depth of 0.20m,below the level of the floor of the so-called Geometric House. The tomb was located in the area between pits A and D, and was just over 2m to the east of the preserved west wall of the Geometric House. ... The cranium was at a slightly lower level in the tomb than the feet; the upper part of the skull of the deceased was found near the south corner of the tomb, the jaw bone closer to the east corner. In addition to the shells, the skeleton of an animal, identified in the field as "probably a piglet", was placed to the left of the skeleton, along the central part of the southwest side of the tomb pit.
