| Description: | Sacrificial Pyre I, Classical Building II. The pyre was set through the original floor level of the northern room of the Classical Building and apparently is the remainder of a ritual conducted when the old floor was raised. The pyre was preserved in a thin strip of undisturbed fill between Pithos III and a Byzantine pit. Bits of bright blue and bright red pigment were found in the fill around the vessels. | |
