Pyre in House N, room 4 (RSY=Pyre 7), in the industrial area west of the Areopagus.
Pottery, mall pieces of calcined bone, log, wood cinders, and charcoal in diamond-shaped pit in floor sequence. The pyre ... Late 4th-early 3rd c. B.C ... This is one of the largest pyres (more than one pyre lekanis, four chytridia, four ribbon-handled plates, all of them made up of two pairs). It is possible that this is a double pyre of some sort, with two different groups of people combining their offerings, or an instance of two pyres deposited one on top of the other with a very short interval of time between them.
