The rock-cut chamber tombs of Labraunda

Roos, Paavo LU (2016) In Opuscula 9(1). p.271-284
Abstract

The rock-cut chamber tombs form a very small percentage of the rockcut tombs in Labraunda. The majority of these tombs, situated next to the sanctuary, were studied by Paul Åström in 1950 together with the sarcophagi; two improved from natural caves further from the sanctuary in both directions were found in a topographic survey conducted by Lars Karlsson in 2005, and finally one tomb at some distance away on the plain is also included in the article. The tombs are of various types and are probably to be dated to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. No finds have been recorded in them, either in 1950 or later.
