Numerous fragments represent am-
phorae of the “Mediterranean type”, i.e.,
SQ 00-858 (P.21, wheel-made, uncoated)
and SQ 00-859 (P.7 wheel made,
uncoated). There is also a piece, which has
been identified as a black-glazed Attic
lekythos (?) with stamped decoration, SQ
00-850.23)
SUMMARY
The pottery discovered during the 2000 5th cent. BC. The ceramic deposit from
season has confirmed activity in this part of Corridor 1 is extremely interesting and
the necropolis in the second half of the will undoubtedly require more discerning
