ITANOS - 2002

Ch. Sophianou (ΚΔ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of further burials in the city cemetery. A number of Geometric-Hellenistic graves include enchytrismoi, pit and cist tombs. The stone cover slabs of one cist (which contained two burials) were in secondary use (they had cuttings for a stele). Another bore an inscription naming the deceased (Demetrios Demetriou). Some graves contained evidence of intense burning, with burnt animal bones and fragmented fine pottery. A bronze phiale, fibula and clay loomweight were also found.
