The dromos is a narrow, rectangular shaft with vertical walls, gradually sloping in the upper part, and descending by a step in front of the door. The upper part of the door has fallen in and only the lower part of the door-packing, consisting of rough stones, was in situ. There is no stomion. The door opens on to the chamber near the right end of its front wall, and the floor of the dromos descends to that of the chamber by a gentle slope. The chamber is small in size and roughly rectangular in plan. Its floor is horizontal and the roof has collapsed.
Format:
Non digital
Abstract
The filling of the dromos consisted of chavara and sand, and the chamber was entirely filled by layers of rock debris, sand, and smaller stones. All the objects were found on the floor.
Contents
No traces of skeletons or burial earth were observed. Probably a child had been buried in the tomb, of which no remains have been left, but to which tomb-gifts in the five pots preserved had been given.
