Description
Geraka, Psaron Street (O.T. 672, property of M. Sinapidou). D. N. Christodoulou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on excavation next to a plot where earlier investigations had revealed a Classical cemetery. A Classical funerary peribolos lay next to an ancient road running northeast-southwest (Figs 1,2). Finds included parts of at least three stone alabastra, part of the palmette from a stele (Fig. 3), and a funerary stele with a relief (preserving only the toes of a small child) found in fill which also contained a bronze circular lid, a small iron spear, a bronze coin, and black-glazed sherds (unguentaria, aryballoid lekythoi, skyphoi and plates).
Within the peribolos were two tombs: one contained a small aryballoid unguentarium, and the second, a bronze mirror, a small black-glazed aryballoid unguentarium, and a stone alabastron.
All the finds were typical Attic funerary offerings of end of the fifth-third centuries BC.
