Report
Pyrgaki-Tsouka. J. Rambach (for the Ζ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on excavation in 1998 of a small mound which was shown to be a burial tumulus used at least in the later part of the MH period (and perhaps from MHI). The mound was severely damaged by Late Roman-Early Christian burials cut into it. Nonetheless, a MHII/III kantharos was recovered (Fig. 1), and next to it many sherds of a large pithos with relief decoration (Fig. 3). Part of the rim of a second pithos with finger-impressed decoration on the rim was also found (Fig. 2).
