Description
Saravali, Alonia (property of K. Giannopoulou and A. Biliri). Artemis Maniaki (ΣΤ’ΕΠΚΑ) reports on excavations at a cemetery and building dated to the Classical period (Fig. 1). In the north-eastern part of the property were six burials in pots and two tile covered graves, all dated to the Classical period. The pots used included a pithos, three pointed amphorae and two pointed pithoi (Fig. 2). Their stomia were sealed with a clay slab and some were embedded in a layer of stones. The bones were destroyed in all but two pots, one of which contained fragments of an infant skull. Very few grave goods were recovered, including a bronze strigil and animal knuckle-bones. Also discovered were two tile covered graves which included a Classical skyphos, a bronze Boeotian coin dated to the Classical period, animal knuckle-bones, a lekanida and a Classical clay figurine in the shape of a dove.
In the south-western part of the property was part of an elongate building dated to the Classical period, consisting of two walls forming a room in the shape of Π. The walls were made of rubble and mud while the interior of the room was filled with a destruction layer, probably from the collapsed roof.
