The Prehistoric Tombs of Knossos.
///////////////////////
within the chamber the lower parts of two larnalces, A and B., remained in position.
(See plan, fig. 84.) Both contained decayed bones, the skull in each case being
at the west end of the sarco-
phagus. In A was a bronze
finger-ring (a) and two decayed
paste beads (b). Between the
two chests was found a bronze
needle (c), and by the south
wall a steatite cup of the calyx
shape (cl), similar to Plate XC.

Nos. 73, 74. Disturbed
Shaft-Graves. ~No relics.
No. 75. Shaft-Grave. The
covering slabs were very near
the surface, which must here
have been denuded. The floor
of the grave lay 1*50 metres
beneath the slabs. The bones
were much decayed, but the
place of the head (to the south)
was marked by a gold necklace,
and that of the right hand by
a small gold ring, while by the
right side lay a spear-head,
knife, and razor.

was found by Schliemann.0
