Description

Ancient Corinth (property of I. Kriempardi). M. Athanasoula and E. Manolessou (25^th EBA) report the discovery of an early Byzantine (sixth- to seventh-century AD) cemetery of 40 rock-cut cist graves. Almost all were oriented east-west, apart from four arranged north-south. Two had a lining of stone or terracotta slabs along the base of their walls. Tomb floors were paved in terracotta, with a headrest on the western side. Only a few capping stones were found. Most graves were looted, but the remaining goods included pottery (e.g. jugs, lekythoi, and cups), glass perfume bottles, rings, earrings, a pendant and a spoon.
