| dc.description | Description: Chamber. The chamber and antechamber are both built entirely out of white and gray marble blocks. The faces of the walls are finely point-dressed, with claw-chisel trimming at the margins. In the chamber, two floor blocks remain in situ, unusually laid up against rather than running underneath the walls. The floor blocks are 0.15 m thick, and the exposed joints have fine anathyrosis dressing (the contact bands are claw-chisel dressed; the recessed areas beneath are point-dressed). The walls continue down to the level of the bottom of the preserved floor slabs and then appear to rest on more coarsely laid rubble masonry. ** The walls are built up in five courses, laid in pseudoisodomic fashion. (The thickness of the wall blocks where exposed ranges from 0.3 m to 0.5 m.) There are no signs of clamps. Several fragments of a single marble couch, in the form of a simple slab with a rounded depression on top, are lying in the rubble fill of the dromos. It was likely supported by marble legs and placed up against the back wall of the chamber, but no trace of its supports or any other interior feature of the chamber has been found. The chamber is roofed by four marble ceiling slabs. ** The front wall of the chamber is bonded with the side walls (rather than being a separately built monumental doorframe). The door is centered in the front wall (H of threshold above chamber floor: 0.03 m; H of opening: 1.04 m; W of opening: 0.61 m; D of opening: 0.36 m). A door-plug cut to fit exactly to this opening is lying in the fill of the dromos. ** Antechamber and Dromos. The masonry of the antechamber is very similar to that of the dromos. Its walls abut on the doorway to the chamber, with one interesting detail: a chip in the upper right-hand corner of the lintel of the doorway, which must have occurred during construction, has been partially filled by a plug projecting from the bottom of the top left block of the east wall. The antechamber is roofed by three ceiling slabs; one at the south end is made of marble, the others of schist. The walls of the dromos continue the lines of the walls of the antechamber, which terminate in more or less straight joints. The dromos is built of undressed chunks of schist and quartz, and roofed by schist ceiling slabs. If the rocks aligned with the east wall of the dromos to the south do in fact belong to the dromos, it would have been at least 6.0 m long. | en_US |
