Agora Deposit: O 8:4
Title:   Chamber Tomb West of Circular Building
Category:   Burial
Description:   Mycenaean Chamber Tomb W. of Circular Building (at Σ:30/ΛΕ?)
It had been badly disturbed by a fourth-century B.C. pit which cut into the northeast part of the chamber (rectangular, ca. 1.80m by 1.30m). The dromos, which probably led in from the northeast, could not be traced.
Two skeletons and traces of a third were found. Only the one lying along the west edge of the chamber was well-preserved, with its head to the south, knees up, and with the pots at its feet. two more pots were found lying between this skeleton and the chamber wall. Thus, all offerings were associated with this better preserved skeleton.
