| dc.description | Description: Well-preserved rock-cut gallery tomb, with petit appareil masonry dromos; almost entirely cleared; in a gently sloping field; no superstructure visible. The dromos (pres. L: 3.50m, pres. H: 2.35 m, W: 0.90 m) descends at a 23-degree slope. The sloping vault is built in petit appareil masonry, as is the upper half of the dromos walls. For the entire preserved length of the dromos, the lower part is cut into dense clayey earth, reddish-orange in color and filled with small quartz and schist inclusions. At the end of the dromos is marble threshold block (L: 1.20 m, W: 0.6 0 m, H: 0.19 m) with a pivot on the right side (D: 0.12m). A vertical air vent pierces the vault about 2.45 m from the chamber entrance (Diam: 0.15m). The ceiling of the tomb chamber is approximately 3.40 m below field level. The tomb chamber is T-shaped in plan, with flat ceilings at descending levels. At the crossing and centered on the entrance is a 2.85 m E-W by 2.20 m N-S space, cleared to 1.80 m below the ceiling. To the N is a 2.40 by 3.70 space with a ceiling about 0.10m lower, and to the E and W are approximately 2.0 m by 2.10 m spaces with ceiling heights about 0.45m lower than that in the central space. | en_US |
