Drain channel system along the line of an ancient north-south road, the channel in part at the surface and in part tunneled and accessible by shafts.

P 6723, although surely an urn, rust-stained inside from the iron jewelry and within a meter of Grave C 9:14, is much earlier than the offerings in that grave and must have come from still another burial trench in the line of the water channel; a narrow burned strip along the edge of the channel opposite the fragments may be part of that trench.

It consisted of a rectangular trench cut through hard-packed fill and slightly into bedrock to a depth of 0.48m. the trench oriented east-west, had a preserved length of 0.70m and a width of 0.60m. The east end where the cinerary urn would have originally been located in an urn-hole, was almost completely cut away by the Hellenistic water channel that skirted the tomb to the south. evidence of heavy burning, in the form of reddened earth, was noted on the ground around the mouth, rim, floor and three sides of the trench. The preserved east end, built up from redeposited green schist bedrock streaked with reddened earth, may have been a barrier between the destroyed urn-hole and the pyre trench, constructed after the fire had subsided. |
