Report
Kastro, Diakopto (anc. Boura). E.-I. Kolia (ΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a cist tomb at the site of Ai-Lenti (beside the farm track to Ag. Apostoloi). The grave, which had been robbed in antiquity, was built of small stones: a few Hellenistic sherds and tile fragments, and a little bone, were collected from fill by the preserved short side. Beside the farm track from Ai-Lenti to Kastro, an enchytrismos in a plain vessel (probably a child burial although no bones survive), contained a small kantharos and three miniature kotyles dating to the second half of the sixth century, plus a severely corroded iron object. Just to the north was a Roman cist grave with a plaster floor.
