[Agora Deposit] O 20:6: Disturbed Pyre in Room 5, House D

Disturbed pyre dispersed in fill of Room 5, House D. Pyre pots in very fragmentary condition were noticed by Barbara Tsakirgis in later analysis of pottery that had been excavated in 1938; no mention of ... 14 June 1938 ... It is likely that more than one pyre is involved: the two rilled-rim plates do not match and there are three lekanis lids (rarely does a pyre contain more than two lekanides). If originally associated with this house, the pyre (s) could be related to the 4th c.
