"LH III A","Plundered Chamber Tomb. (Tomb XII). A few meters SE of the great white marble altar. The chamber is an irregular rectangle, oriented roughly N-S, with dromos leading in at a very gentle slope from the north. The dromos had been cut through by a Turkish well. The tomb itself was of irregular enough shape to suggest that it had never been completed. A very few sherds and fragments of bone were recovered from the upper levels of the collapsed bedrock with which it was filled.; It seems probable that the tomb collapsed before burials were made in it (the lower 1.80m of the tomb contained only collapsed bedrock and no sherds.) and perhaps the dromos may have been used as a sacrificial pit of some sort","Agora","Deposit","","Agora:Image:1997.20.0058::/Agora/1997/1997.20/1997.20.0058.tif::749::961","","J 10:1","Agora:Deposit:J 10:1","","","","22 April 1952","Unfinished Chamber Tomb"
"Mycenaean","Diameter of top of well 0.80m.; An early well east of Roman Building, north of Temple of Ares and thus in the region of the Mycenaean cemetery. Sherds almost entirely Mycenaean with nothing later and a few earlier. Maybe the well was used only for ceremonial and funerary purposes.","Agora","Deposit","","","","K 6:1","Agora:Deposit:K 6:1","","","","27 May 1952","Well East of Roman Building"

"Mycenaean IIIB-C","Mycenaean Grave (grave with kylikes).; Small irregular pit (about 0.70m by 0.45m by 0.50m deep). it was full of Mycenaean sherds and fragmentary pots, mostly kylikes, but also contained occasional scraps of bone and several small stone slabs lying in no order. Originally termed a grave, there is nothing in favor of this identification and much that argues against it. The size would be very cramped even for the burial of a child, no skeleton or certain human bones were found, the pottery was found in complete disorder. Although a number of more or less complete kylikes were found, these were all extremely coarse and of careless workmanship, and there is no reason to believe they were not chipped or minus a handle when they were discarded. Therefore the identification as a refuse pit seems more likely.; No remains.","Agora","Deposit","","","","O 7:4","Agora:Deposit:O 7:4","","","","24-25 May 1951","The Kylix Pit"
"","The finds in the Athenian Agora from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages have added important chronological context to the earliest eras of Athenian history. The bulk of the items are pottery, but stone, bone, and metal objects also occur. Selected material from the Neolithic and from the Early and Middle Helladic periods is catalogued by fabric and then shape and forms the basis of detailed discussions of the wares (by technique, shapes, and decoration), the stone and bone objects, and their relative and absolute chronology. The major part of the volume is devoted to the Mycenaean period, the bulk of it to the cemetery of forty-odd tombs and graves with detailed discussions of architectural forms; of funeral rites; of offerings of pottery, bronze, ivory, and jewelry; and of chronology. Pottery from wells, roads, and other deposits as well as individual vases without significant context, augment the pottery from tombs as the basis of a detailed analysis of Mycenaean pottery. A chapter on historical conclusions deals with all areas of Mycenaean Athens.","Agora","Publication","","Agora:Image:2009.09.0043::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0043.jpg::379::500","","Agora XIII","Agora:Publication:Agora 13","Immerwahr, S.
