A pit which had been cut into the surface of the
north part of the tumulus contained the cremated
remains of a woman. Bronze vessels, clay and glass
unguentaria , a gold earring, a wooden box with
bronze lock and chains, a marble mortar with two
pestles in the shape of bent fingers, a bronze box and
an iron lamp stand accompanied the deceased. Seven
rings of amber, glass and semi-precious stones, which
had been placed in a bronze covered wooden container
(pyxis), were found together. A very degraded bronze
coin of Perinthos was found in the ashes. It was
minted during the reign of the Emperor Trajan and
dates to between AD 102 and 114.
