| Description: | Destroyed urn cremation. No remains. Originally assigned as part of Tomb C 9:14 (Grave 7) JP "Large fragments of an urn were found in the packing of a Hellenistic water channel which cut through a LPG burial area and obliterated the urn and urn-hole of LPG grave C 9:14." | |
| Notes: | P 6723, although surely an urn, rust-stained inside from the iron jewelry and within a meter of Grave C 9:14, is much earlier than the offerings in that grave and must have come from still another burial trench in the line of the water channel; a narrow burned strip along the edge of the channel opposite the fragments may be part of that trench. Cf. Agora XXXVI mentions (p. 298) as part of Grave 5 (should read 7) | |
