ACHARNAI, Auliza - 2006

Acharnai, Auliza, 54 Bardousion Street (property of D. and D. Giannouli). Maria Platonos (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of four burials. Burial 1: in an amphora in the southeast of the plot which also contained a black-glaze saltcellar and sherds of a black-glaze stemless cup, dating the burial is dated to the mid fifth century BC. Burial 2: two ceramic lekanides (one placed over the other as a lid) were found to the northeast of burial 1; rows of pebbles were arranged around and under them, but the basins contained neither bones nor grave goods. Burial 3: a pithos burial in the middle of the plot, covered with a lekanis (black-glazed on the inside and with black band decoration on the exterior), contained two lekythoi and four miniature skyphoi of the second half of the fifth century BC. Burial 4: the western part of a pyre (0.9m long, oriented north-south) was preserved in the south part of the plot; no finds were excavated from the ash layer.
