Tomb 14 30-3-31

Tomb 14 lies immediately N-W of tomb 13, and seems to be cut by (or to cut it). Digging to a depth of below the surface a skeleton is found stretched out at full length, associated with L.C.III bowl ware.

1-4-39 Leaving the skeleton and digging below it we find a layer of reddish earth with some pottery and the objects, p. 58:1-2, but nothing in-situ. The tomb was apparently ransacked and an earthen floor prepared for a later burial in L.C. III times.
