Catalogue card notes that 'there were no sherds in the dromos of this tomb, all pottery coming from the chamber. There were two skeletons in this tomb, probably male and female, deposited at the same time. A spindle whorl accompanied the female (Skeleton B) and a bronze knife and whetstone the male (Skeleton A). None of these objects were handed over to this museum'.
