| Stratum: | R, pit east of altar, VIII grave I (=R VIII) | |
| Notes: | R VIII 1.50 – In this level we suddenly found a grave. It is at the bottom of what I yesterday (page 76) thought a well or bothros. Its circular shape gradually widened out to oval the soft loose earth continued and at 0.55 more than yesterday i.e. at ca. 1.65 we found the grave. On top chiefly at south end were the pots. 3 were at south end tea-pot, goblet and seaweed bowl – all small. 2 more a small perfume jug and an askos – also small; found along west side. These pots look like LM II. CP 202, 203, 204, 205, 206 Tzonou-Herbst=Blegen 1921, p. 53, fig. 73, and p. 54, fig. 74, show the five vases from the grave, LH II. Now on display in PG. Tzonou-Herbst=Blegen talks about the bothros in R V, and so presumambly he finds the cut for the grave in R V. The skeleton is very poorly preserved. The body apparently lay on left side in a crouching attitude. Head to north feet to south. [MN: MF 14199 – Bead] Tzonou-Herbst=The marginal note is in Nancy Bookidis’ handwriting. Tzonou-Herbst=Blegen 1921, p. 105, fig. 130, nos. 12-22, are some of the beads from the necklace, now in PG display. MF 14199 Bead necklace Around neck was an elaborate necklace of beads of glass paste green, blue, and white and black. It seems to have consisted of a double row around neck and down sides to breast. Most of beads are rather flat round 2 are smaller slightly and crumbled 1 is pear shaped 1 long cylinder like. These beads are fearfully fragile and break into fragments at the slightest touch. By very careful digging Wace and I were able to get out ca. 60 whole ones. We judge that at least 60 more collapsed. They are more or less irregular of varying shape. [p. 83] The grave itself is 1.00 long and 0.50 wide. Unlined. Some sort of flooring of hard earth. The grave was almost 1.00 m deep. Just to north is another grave apparently – a few bones came to light here – and there are more pots. This first grave was closely connected with it for the soft loose earth goes right into it. I dug into it from Grave I and got one pot - a jug with cutaway neck – sketo green. CP 208 Tzonou-Herbst=Blegen 1921, p. 57, fig. 79, vase on right, plain jug with cutaway neck. Now stored in the OM. sketch of graves I-III | |
