[Agora Deposit] F 16:5: Funerary Deposit on Stone Pavement

Dorothy Burr Thompson ... Grave 4 in notebook. (E.L. Smithson: Grave XLIV). No remains (not really a grave, note on p. 331). Roughly rectangular patch of unworked fieldstones, measuring about 1.20x0.80m neatly laid on bedrock, ... 19-21 March 1932 ... The similarity of this feature to funerary deposit/ Q 8:12 in the cemetery along the south bank of the Eridanos, and in close proximity to Mycenaean and Early Iron Age graves, suggests that both deposits are funerary in nature.
