Reinforced indications that beneath the floor of the third Chamber on monument Kasta there may be grave space for accommodating one or more graves.
Outreach, According to information, the 2,5 measures the depth of the trench (dimensions 4 x 2,10 m.) in the third Ward-fourth place, which still being the removal of backfill sand!
So far, both the depth of the trench from the height of the sill, in front of the port, as the point is excavate to find in natural soil excavation the archaeological team under Mrs. Katerina Peristeri... It is worth noting that touches the 8,5 overall measures the depth of the third Chamber of the dome as the point that far has reached the hoe.
The dimensions and the depth of the artificial trench, that still is being to removed the sand backfill, reduce, When assessing archaeologists, the chances to have created ancient tomb robbers – but it should be answered by what cause the disruption caused to the flooring of the third Chamber or who caused it.
The size of the trench makes it, in terms of specific, most likely now the version going for excavation-"crypt" made to accommodate , under floor, at least one burial. Experts leave open the possibility to have emerged is evidence even for the way of burial, If at some stage use of the monument – traces and remnants of construction for the deposition of dead or dead, ceramic, bones, combustion residues, etc.. Also expect there may be findings that point to how made the excavation, with traces of materials or even from architectural elements to access this.
Indeed, considered paradoxical a such scale excavation did not build walls with stone plinths or some sort of ' investment ' – otherwise, they say, would be no problem as to the robustness of static the foundation wall of the lateral third Chamber. So, deem reasonable to find-or already have found- in the excavation of the stones of the lateral walls. Such a development would run counter to the original image of the «aperipoiitoy» trench.
The issue is whether the excavation group give information about findings (Mobile, odds and ends, funeral gifts, or other findings refer to burial customs or even connected with the dead), and not only for the technical characteristics relating to the evolution of the project and the anaskafikoy team of scientists responsible for the geophysics in the tumulus of Amphipolis.
It remains to be seen if it will break the deafening silence of the excavation team, which cannot but have brought to light significant findings during the latter's '' task. However, It is not unlikely martyrdom of ... drop to continue or take new form, from ' ere and beyond, with the parameter of geophysical prospecting to become a catalyst for new expectations about what hides inside of the tumulus of Amphipolis.
