This is the first in a
sequence of three photographs that document the progress of
excavations in the eastern end of the Tomb 1 chamber. These three
photographs alsoserve to illustrate the wealth and condition of the
burial deposits. This first image depicts the concentration of
pottery and skeletal remains in Level 1, the latest of the tomb's
strata. Crypt F, a rock-hewn loculus on the northeastern side of the
chamber, is visible in the upper left, just above and slightly to the
left of the two multi-handled kraters. Though barely visible through
the debris, the uppermost portions of rock-hewn Crypt E are
discernable in the upper center portion of the photograph. Looking
east.
