LEUKAS - Spasmeni Vrysi - 2003

Spasmeni Vrysi, Karyoti (Santa property). Y. Phaklari (ΙΒ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports on rescue excavation in the south cemetery of ancient Leukas. Fifty five tombs (including 15 sarcophagi, four cist graves, 10 tile graves, 22 cist graves, and a composite tomb with a sarcophagus base and tile cover). Evidence of seismic disturbance dating back to antiquity is evident throughout. Although the graves were robbed, 41 complete vessels were found (many lekythoi, lamps, skyphoi, kotylai, kyathoi, oinochoes, a pyxis and an askos), sherds of 36 vessels, figurine fragments, one bronze and two iron strigils, seven bronze coins and a grave stele. Most of the pottery was local, and mostly lamps and oinochoes. Evidence spans the fifth to the second centuries.
