The project
In 1966 M. Loulloupis and A. Christodoulou excavated a tomb at the western edge of Myrtou for the Department of Antiquities1. Registered as C.S. 1655, it had a rectangular chamber with a bench opposite the entrance, reached by a long stepped dromos that descended to the stomion1. The chamber held two silver boat-shaped earrings and pottery, including a Plain White VI askos 22.5 cm high1. No date is given for the tomb. The notice says that the material from the tombs it describes was kept in the premises of the Section de l'Exploration Archéologique1.
