dc.descriptionDescription: well preserved; excavated by the Museum in October 1989, now completely filled in. A chamber tomb with two axial rooms, perhaps originally vaulted, that opened onto an e-w road with many sarcophagi aligned along it. The walls are built of roughly worked stones, "with no mortar, and…plastered with red earth." North-south oriented graves (L: 1.90-2.00 m, W: 0.65-0.70 m) were found in both rooms, all below floor level and covered with thin schist slabs. Five broad stairs descend from the road level down into the first room (e-w 5.20 m, n-s 3.70 m); in the eastern half are four graves. The floor of the northern room (e-w 4.20 m, n-s 2.10 m) is one step lower, and the entire space filled with three n-s oriented graves. Along the full length of the northern wall is a shelf, 0.70m deep and 0.70m above the floor ** The excavators speculated that the tomb had been vaulted and note its similarity to a tomb excavated in the area in 1988 (location unknown).en_US
dc.descriptionFinds: Finds include 25 late Roman lamps, found outside of the doorway, on both sets of stairs, as well as above and inside the graves; a bowl; three coins.
