KERA PEDIADOS - 2001

Kera Pediados. V. Zographaki (ΚΔ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a small tholos tomb on the provincial road linking Krasi with the Lasithi plateau. The tomb was built of medium-sized stones and had a paved floor. Although much of it had been destroyed by the construction of the road, it contained the remains of at least four burials (based on the crania), seven pots (including two stirrup jars, two skyphoi, a small kalathos and an oinochoe), a fibula, stone tool and stone bead. The tomb was contemporary with a Late Minoan III-Protogeometric grave previously been found in the area (see ADelt 53 [1998] Mel., 89-100).
