Report
Karaiika. Vasileios Argyropoulos (ΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a grave dated to the Classical period, sunk into the soft bedrock and covered with a large schist slab. It contained an adult male burial in the extended position. The head had been adorned with a gold plated wreath. Other grave goods included two pelikes (one Red-figure and the other black-glazed) (Fig. 1), a kylix (Fig. 2), a handless skyphidion, an iron strigil, a gold earring and a silver coin. Based on the pottery the burial was attributed to the 4th c. BC.
