MARKOPOULO - 2000

Markopoulo. Merenda. Two family tombs, one Archaic and the other Classical, were discovered ca. 500m to the west of the large cemetery where in 1972 the statue of Phrasikleia was found. The Archaic cemetery produced 23 tombs (one cist, one tile, two cremations and 19 enchytrismoi), mostly of the sixth century BC. Among the finds were parts of large black-figure pots with Dionysiac scenes, probably placed as grave markers. The Classical cemetery, located 30m to the south, contained two larnax burials, a bronze urn within a marble box and 16 cremations. Goods included lekythoi, a bronze mirror and bronze jewellery.
