VOULA Halai Aixonidai - 2007

Voula, Vasileos Paulou, Aulonos and Plastera Streets (O.T. 177, alleged property of I. Tsigos – A Tsigos – D. Tsigos Co.). L. Makradema, Y. Kouragios and M. Giamalidi (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the discovery of a cemetery. 28 burials were found: a poros sarcophagus, a tile grave, 2 inurned cremations and 24 pyres. The sarcophagus appears to have been looted in ancient times. The richest burial, which belonged to a child, was one of the inurned cremations. A pithos had been used for the burial. 17 vessels (skyphoi, miniature lekythoi and one feeding bottle) were found around the pithos. An olpe had been used for the second inurned cremation. The pyres were organized in clusters of 2 to 4 each and the finds from these include 66 intact and broken vessels, bones, metal nails, pieces from bronze objects, and two funerary stelai. One of the latter reads:

The cemetery lies on the ancient road that connected the Attic coastal demes.
