Title:		Urn-burial of an Infant
Category:		Burial
Description:		Grave 2 in notebook. The burial was destroyed by the digging of Pit A, at the edge of which was found a mass of sherds belonging to the grave amphora. Among the sherds were found small cups, fragments of a skyphos, and a kantharos, together with a few remnants of a small child's skeleton. A coarse pitcher and an oinochoe were found in the undisturbed filling just beside the broken amphora, which lay at the very edge of Pit a. there can be no doubt that the body of the child, with the small vases, had been placed in the amphora, and that the coarse pitcher and oinochoe stood beside the shoulder or the neck of the burial urn.
