| Homer A. Thompson ... Cremation burial (trench-and-hole) under S. edge of E-W Street, northern burial. In some records as Grave XLVII.
The western part of the offering trench of the tomb was lost to a Turkish cess pit, and ... Middle Geometric I ... The tomb was found directly below a Classical wall. What survived was the south and east section of the original grave, including a strip of the pyre trench, reddened from burning to a depth of 0.05m, and below it a shallow urn-hole, roughly square, ca. 0.60m to the side, cut through earth almost to the level of bedrock, to a depth of about 0.30m.
The urn-hole was dug only deep enough to accommodate the cinerary urn to its shoulder; the burning suggests a north-south orientation with the cinerary urn at the south or southeast corner.
