6. Painted trefoil jugheight 21.7

The whole content of this deposition chamber clearly points to a fairly late geometric period, especially no. 5 with its concentric circles. The chamber was probably built after the main chamber, the plundered 410.

Perhaps the looting of tomb 410, can be dated with the help of 3 small Byzantine sherds that were found: two in the door-packing of 410 itself and one in the same place as 410 A.
