Tomb found when workmen were clearing the bottom stratum of the foundations of the Stoa colonnade at its northern end. A soft spot in the earth revealed a cutting about 0.95m wide running from west to east and sloping downward toward the east, apparently the dromos of a chamber tomb, with its chamber under the stylobate foundations of the Stoa. The cutting was filled with greenish earth and contained only two sherds. The chamber and its burials could not be excavated, if indeed they had been spared by the Stoa builders. |

The northern part of the tomb had been cut away by the foundation trench for the south stylobate of the Square Building that preceded the Stoa, and the dromos, if one existed, must have been lost in this operation. The chamber was small with an original east-west dimension of 1.60m and a preserved north-south dimension of 1.20m, the walls preserved to a maximum height of 0.90m. ... Although it might be argued from the single internment and the absence of any preserved dromos that this was a pit grave, the location of the body along the edge of the cutting would seem rather to indicate a small chamber tomb that has been cut away at the north. |
