PAIANIA - 2006

Paiania, Episkopis Street (O.T. 5034, property of D. Giannake). Eleni Andrikou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a limestone sarcophagus (internal dimensions 1.91 x 0.59m) with a pedimental lid, which contained an inhumation along the north side. Pieces of wood and a seashell were placed by the feet of the deceased, and fragments of two bronze strigils were found along the south wall. A first half fourth-century BC black-glaze phiale and a saltcellar probably comes from the southeast corner of the sarcophagus.
