| Title: | Urn-Burial of Two Infants | |
| Supervisor: | Rodney S. Young | |

| Description: | Grave 13 in notebook. Two skeletons of small children lay in a pithos which had been put on its side; its mouth was stopped by a stone slab. Most offerings were inside the pithos, but two kantharoi and two oinochoai were placed outside. An animal bone was found under a coarse pitcher left outside the pithos at its mouth; carbonized matter, perhaps from a food offering, was found in one of the kantharoi. No evidence of re-opening, hence this was probably a double funeral. | |
