Unlined roughly rectangular pit cut into bedrock, measuring 1.71m long and 0.50m wide. the modern surface of what was known in the early 1930s as Plateia Theseiou sloped down toward the west; the bottom of the tomb at the east end was at a depth of 0.31m from the surface, and only 0.17m at the west end. the tomb was oriented east-west, with the head of the deceased toward the west. the skeleton, in part disturbed, was found on its back, arms by the side of the body. Torso and arms were articulated in situ; of the skull, only two small fragments were found, and there was only one leg bone, apparently not in situ. of the human remains, which were not kept, only the upper arm (L. 0.241) and forearm (L. 0.216) were measured in situ. ... On the chest of the deceased the excavator noted remains of an iron pin, and at the right side of the skeleton a :conical foot" from an open vase. |

The tomb was partly destroyed in antiquity; there are sherds of all periods down to Late Roman (and later) note din the fill immediately above it. A modern well was partly cut into the northeast portion of the tomb as preserved, and an ancient block, reused in a modern wall, was founded directly on bedrock just to the southwest of the tomb.
... The cinerary urn, contained the cremated remains of an adult female, aged ca. 30 years at death according to Angel, but aged 40-50 years at death in the more recent reanalysis.
The amphora also contained a few fragments of bronze and iron jewelry , described by the excavator as pins, which had disintegrated and were never inventoried: it is possible but not certain, that these were remnants of jewelry melted out of shape by cremation. six fragments of animal bone were also encountered inside the cinerary urn, together with the cremated human remains. Most of the fragments were identified as dog and were unburned. a few fragments of mudbrick in the upper fill of the well may also have come from the grave. |
