Description
Koskina, Lakkopholia. O. Vikatou (Ζ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports the excavation of a further tholos tomb at a site where six such tombs were previously found (see ADelt 25 [1970] Chr, 193; ADelt 49 [1994] Chr, 194). The dromos was excavated in 1998 (see ADelt 53 [1998] Chr, 230) and the rectangular chamber dug in 2000.
The tomb, oriented east-west, had been robbed in antiquity. Close to the north wall were a few bones, a cup sherd and a bronze cup. In addition, a few bones were found in the two eastern corners of the chamber. Three pits were dug into the floor on the main axis of the tomb. The first contained a burial without goods. The second was empty and the third, which preserved its cover slab, again held a single burial without goods. Three spindlewhorls were found in the tomb. The very few objects found date from LHIIB (the bronze cup) to LHIIIA2 (sherds of a stirrup jar and rounded alabastron).
Chance finds delivered to the authorities comprise a sealstone and whorl, part of a stirrup jar and three Mycenaean sherds.
