Tomb 8 D. 1 722 that fell in did not reach the floor. The amphora stood upon c. 4 cm. of soil & the bones of the second clearing came up to it & about it were 11 pottery. Skeletons not clearly visible. The skeleton in the dromos was a member of family after that, removed it seems. What looked like a jar is upon a rock that fell down long ago. Sand fell in after it & then the other two skeletons. Or so it looks now. This amphora #7 to the north of the amphora at first cleared.
