Report
Argos. Junction of Korinthou and Heras Streets (property of P. and I. Bozionelou). E. Sarri (Δ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports investigation of a Late Geometric and Archaic cemetery. In addition to pithos burials and one built cist, a Late Geometric-early Archaic (early seventh-century) bronze cinerary urn was found covered by limestone slabs. The vessel contained the remains of one or more sheets of cloth, and pomegranate seeds. The rarety and early date of these finds, the use of a metal vessel in a cemetery characterised by large burial pithoi, and the rarety of cremations in Early Iron Age Argos, combine to indicate the particular status of the deceased.
