Description
Anc. Sikyon. The ΛΖ’ ΕΠΚΑ reports the discovery, in the course of motorway construction, of a Middle Geometric-Hellenistic cemetery (fig. 1). Fifty-five tombs were excavated, most of which were fifth-century pit tombs with cover slabs. Larnakes also contained single and multiple burials. South of the cemetery was a 13m-long stretch of wall running west/northwest – east/southeast, built in the late sixth or early fifth-century. A 10.5m-long stretch of wall built of fieldstones and reused grave stelai is probably a continuation of the previous wall which forms the boundary of the cemetery.
