TOMB 6 -(from p. 39)

Continue opening tomb 6. The outlines of the chamber are established. The dromos is on the N. Remove the red earth and fallen stone, and begin to find skeletal and ceramic remains. A great heap of bones, including two skulls, is found on the east. One of these skulls is still hollow, beautifully preserved. A large piece of fallen rock lies over it. Since it did not break the skull in falling, the conclusion is suggested that the tomb collapsed before the skull dried out. Fragments of a horizontal handled LHIII krater with birds are found in all parts of the tomb at this high level. Photos Bam '39, 23-24, 25-27 at this level. Dig below this level, finding bed-rock at . Nothing is found in-situ. It appears that the objects of the main level were swept aside in preparation for a later burial, which never took place, perhaps because the tomb collapsed before it could be made. Photo Bam '39. 29 of tomb cleared.
