Description
Aigaleo, Kifissou Avenue and Thessalias St. (property of Viamax Co.) Eleni Asimakou (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) and Katerina Paschali (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the discovery of three EH rock-cut chamber tombs (Figs. 1, 2), 4 Classical inurned cremations (Fig. 3), a small apsidal room containing a terracotta perirrhanterion (Fig. 4) and a late Archaic lamp, and numerous drains, cisterns, wells and cuttings indicating the use of the space as a workshop. The latter features contained pottery sherds and other finds dating from the Geometric until the Late Classical periods.
The first of the EH chamber toms contained a burial in a pit and four secondary inhumations which had been placed on top of this. A miniature crater was found amongst the bones. The second chamber tomb contained few bones and a marble phiale preserving traces of pigment as well as a pigment grater. The third chamber tomb contained few bones.
The area was heavily disturbed, since numerous kilns had been constructed there in recent years (19th-20th centuries).
