| Grave V, under room 18 in House 3, plus burned deposit at 94/IΘ. Identified as sacrificial pyre by SIR on Agoraios Kolonos:
In southeast corner of house 3. 35 artifacts, bone and charred material in pit, ... Ca. 300-275 B.C ... Typical saucers, banded plates, miniature cooking pots, two unusual lamps and a pair of Corinthian type skyphoi. |
| A compact group of four complete vases and a lamp, found on a house floor; possibly the remains of a sacrificial pyre but without evidence of burning or the characteristic votive vases.
Layer II, "nest ... 425-400 B.C ... The pottery types suggest an identification as a pyre; the close similarity of the two skyphoi in size and firing (unevenly fired red) suggests that they were part of the same kiln batch and were purchased together. The surfaces of the lamp and the Corinthian skyphos show traces of burning. |
