P 1762 1762Open chamber. Door closed with rough stones 15×12×5 to 40×40×20 cm. Dromos 1. Trefoil jug with short neck. Bands on body. Band down handle. h. ca. 0.30

The stratification of the fallen rock inside the chamber is very clear: alternating, nearly level bands of light "βράχος" and of dark, oxidized earth. The "βράχος" comes right down upon the pots, the indication being that the tomb collapsed very soon, at least before it had time to silt up. The floor is covered with dark sand, which Christo describes as natural.
