Excavations in 1915 to 1918 and 1928 to 1930 revealed 530 graves representing Corinthian burial practices over the course of 1,600 years. The earliest burials were a cluster of 13 Middle Bronze Age burials, including one containing a gold diadem, perhaps originally covered by a tumulus. The next in date are 49 Geometric and 65 Protocorinthian graves. The remainder are Archaic, Classical and Early Hellenistic with a few of the Roman period.  Later graves respected earlier burials taking care not to disturb them.; The favored burial practice is to place the body in a crouched position lying on one side in a built cist or, later, a limestone sarcophagus. Pottery and other objects perhaps used in the burial ceremony were placed in and around the sarcophagus.",""
