Report
Chaniou Street (O.T. 422, property of N. Loukou). (Fig. 1:5). P. Avgerinou (Γ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of two tombs disturbed in antiquity. Grave 1, a sarcophagus and cover in shelly limestone, contained a body laid supine with head to the east: the only preserved offering was a small faience bead. Grave 2, a rock-cut pit covered with a stone, held an unguentarium and a small undecorated pyxis containing makeup.
