VRILISSIA - 2007

Athens, Vrilissia, Thrakis and Thessalia Streets (O.T. 181 and 182). Th. Tzaferi (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of two 5^th c. B.C. burials (480-470 B.C.). The first had been placed in a pithos which was shut with a stone slab. It contained a black-figure lekythos depicting women possibly running, a black-glazed olpe, an intact salt cellar and an intact skyphos decorated with palmettes. The second burial had been placed in a terracotta larnax (Fig 1), which also contained an intact black-figure lekythos, a black-glazed skyphos, and an intact, miniature exaleiptron.
