ITANOS - 2010

Itanos. C. Sophianou (ΚΔ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the investigation of three Hellenistic and four Geometric tombs in the cemetery. Below the Hellenistic tombs were Geometric cremations: the ash layer contained a large range of Late Geometric to Early Archaic vases - lekythoi, skyphos, an ash-filled kalpis, aryballoi with concentric circles, and a pyxis with a duelling scene (Fig. 1). Protocorinthian and Cypriot vases and Creto-Rhodian aryballoi were found. Other finds of this date include bronze fibulae, a bowl containing burnt animal bones, and terracotta loomweights.
