Title:		Pyre 2
Category:		Pyre
Description:		Pyre 2 in Central House, Room X, under strosis 9. Signs of burning, carbonized food, animal bone. In room south of courtyard. concentration of artifacts, bone, and charred material in floor makeup, no pit discerned; pots not clearly clustered. The objects were found in digging a hard floor with a white clay surface (strosis 9, lot Φ 217), the earliest floor associated with phase 3 of the house and probably dating in the second quarter of the 4th c. The pyre is substantially later, however, and must have been dug down into strosis 9, although no pit was detected by the excavator. The alternative is to downdate the floor, which is difficult to reconcile with the other stratigraphy in the house. the date of the pyre indicates that it could be associated with the abandonment of the house, which took place in the first half of the 3rd c. B.C. Cf. Hesperia 20 (1951), p. 122 ff.
