Description:   The remnants of a disturbed pyre in a layer of dumped Hellenistic fill. The fill was found in the area on top of and east of the eastern wall of the Classical Commercial Building at its north end. Fragmentary pyre pots were mixed into the fill, which dated to the period after 225 BC. ... the pyre pottery may very well have come from a pyre buried under a floor in the building just to the west of here.

Notes:   The finds listed here are distinguished as those belonging to a pyre from the many others found in this dumped fill.
