Summary (English)

  • During the year 2004 excavations continued in the tomb, Building 38. During this season, no further trace of the entrance was found, although the completed excavation demonstrated its pavement was composed entirely from tiles. In the 2nd Century A. D. this space ceased functioning, becoming covered by a yellow clay layer. At the same time sections of the wall associated with the funerary stele were decorated with floral motives. A further sondage revealed a tomb constructed with stone slabs of Hellenistic date.
