ALIMOS - 2000

Alimos. At Vouliagmenis Avenue 585 and 578A tombs were discovered during excavation for a natural gas line − two pyre pits, a larnax burial and five other pyres. In one pit was an incomplete phiale inscribed AMEINO on the base. The larnax contained nine pots, including a black-figure pyxis with lid (Fig. 1) and two miniature lekanes (Fig. 2). A larnax with a pedimental cover (containing an adult burial) and an offering pyre were found at the junction of Messinis and Kythirion Streets.
