Kaloriziki, Tombs (extracted from McFadden's notebooks)

Trial Pits (cont.)

Pit b has a small disturbed area at the west end of the dromos, but it is probably not of serious proportions. Decide not to dig it.

The numbering of the Mersinoudhkia tombs begins with no. 30, continuing the tomb series begun in Kaloriziki.

Pit a in Lot 87 contains the head of a dromos 1 meter wide.

November 8Find stairs at the south end of the dromos of Tomb 30.

Find the other side of the dromos of Tomb 31. The dromos is 1.90 wide.

Tomb 32 top-soil: part of proto-ionic capital, soft sandstone. Same design on both sides, thick. See A 6.

The sherds on the surface of Lot 85 and those adjacent to it are largely Byzantine and later, with vitreous glaze. In Lot 84 I found two small sherds from the same White Slip pot.

In spite of considerable searching I found no pre-Roman sherds on the surface of Lot 85.

Continue digging in dromoi of Tombs 30 and 31, also 32 and 33. For these, see following:
