Title:		Pyre 1
Category:		Pyre
Description:		Pyre 1 in Central House, Room XI, strosis 3. Sacrificial pyre with characteristic small vases amid carbonized twigs and bone. Near north side of courtyard. This pit was cut slightly into strosis 3 (lot Φ 231), a 5th c. floor associated by the excavator with phase 2 of the house. Non-joining fragments of pyre pots in strosis 2 above (lot Φ 228) suggest that the pyre may have been dug from that level. The pyre is approximately contemporary with the renovation of the house that initiated phase 3 in the first half of the 4th c., so it could be associated with that event. The excavator noted that the pyre :had clearly been burned elsewhere and deposited," but she also described a layer of charcoal 0.05m thick, which seems inconsistent with this conclusion.
Notes:		No lot.
