Report
Kerameikos, the Demosion Sema. A funerary peribolos containing four sarcophagi was uncovered next to a 3m wide section of ancient road during excavations of a plot at 66-68 Mykalis Street in Metaxourghio. Three of the graves had been looted, but one of the dead showed signs of head trauma. A funerary lekythos of the third quarter of the 4th century BC was discovered, while over the tomb stood a large marble lion 2m in length, and 1.5m high. The Central Archaeological Council has ordered the expropriation of the plot, which is close to the site of a polyandrion previously excavated on Salaminos Street.
