Title:		Pocket with burning
Category:		Pyre
Description:		Pocket with burning at 60/ΚΗ. "Is this perhaps a disturbed pyre burial." [Nbp. 2928]. Identified as pyre by SIR. Near north end of corridor, beside its west wall. Concentration of artifacts, tiny scraps of bone, and carbon in stratum, no pit discerned. the objects lay under an uneven strosis level with the bottom of the rebuilt west wall of the corridor, perhaps dug into a layer topped with marble chips. The pyre postdates the 4th century reconstruction of the Poros Building. Clay balls like the ones found here have come to light in two other pyres, but this assemblage lacks most characteristic pyre objects, and its skyphos is full-size (rare but not unknown in pyres). Its identity as the remains of a disturbed pyre is therefore questionable.
