TUMULUS OF THE EARLY BRONZE AGE IN ATALANTI. A rescue excavation of the 14th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities at A. & G. Kokoretsis plot in Atalanti (ancient Opous), as a result of the activities for the construction of a new building, brought to light under an ancient road part of the cloak and of the stone enclosure of a tumulus. A burial pithos was found in situ close to its centre. The pithos contained a disturbed primary burial of a woman and associated grave goods, namely three clay vessels. Two of them, in the regional Ayia Marina style, date the burial to the EH III period. Fragments of other pithoi, some clay vessels and small finds, as well as gaps in different places of the cloak, indicate the existence of several graves, which were not preserved. Moreover, sporadic finds at the opposite part of the plot, some distance from the above mentioned tumulus, suggest the use of the surrounding space within the EH period. The tumulus of Atalanti is one of the very few burial mounds of this period in the Greek mainland, the unique prehistoric architectural residue ever found at this site and the first detection of the Ayia Marina style through whole vessels in East Locris. Pyrra, vol. A, 257-280 (2018).
