KATO TRAPEZA - 2000

Kato Trapeza. A. Vordos (Στ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a pithos burial 100m west of the Church of Profitis Ilias. The pithos (mouth to the east) was closed with a stone. The burial was disturbed: among the bones were sherds of a Late Geometric kantharos and seven bronze biconical beads. The site is outside the fortified area of Trapeza to the east. A Mycenaean cemetery was located in the 1930s on the southwest slope of Trapeza, and Protogeometric and Late Geometric finds were also made in 1995. It is likely that the city cemetery is located in this general area.
