Agora Deposit: N 12:1
Title:   Child's Pit Grave
Category:   Burial
Description:   Mycenaean grave. It consisted of a shallow rectangular cutting in bedrock about 1.40m by 0.70m, but it was probably somewhat bigger, since the east side and a large part of the north side had been cut away by later builders. It contained a single burial, that of a small child, laid lengthwise in the grave along the south side. Only the skull was preserved in position. Many minute glass beads were found under the skull and around the feeding bottle, and doubtless came from a necklace worn by the child.
