Report
Kavrochori. A. Vasilakis (ΚΓ' ΕΠΚΑ) undertook the rescue excavation of an Early Iron Age tomb (1000-800 BC), begun in September 2009. The entrance to the single chamber (2.5m wide) was blocked by a large schist slab. Six cremation urns were recovered, out of a total of 84 vessels large and small (from amphorae to cups), along with faience beads, a metal pin and a ‘killed’ iron spearhead. An imported Cypriot vessel was also recovered.
