On the Kaldtamou ridge, SW of the village of Ambelofyto, five locations where prehistoric tumuli have previously been reported (UMME, collectively noted under #14; see also PHSP1: 239 [43]) were reinvestigated by PRAP.
On the Kaldtamou ridge, 2 km. SW of the outskirts of Ambelofyto is a large rock pile (ca. 8 m. L. x 2 m. W x 2 m. H.) in which numerous fragments of pottery and tile are incorporated[095.31]. The pile lies at the edge of a terrace covered by grass and may incorporate stone from a collapsed structure[095.32]. Farther W (30 m.) at the edge of the same terrace lies another pile of stone, with a little ancient pottery and tile in it. A third stone pile (at least 3.5 m. H.) lies in the backyard of a small field house, 30 m. SW of the site; no ancient pottery or tile was found in it. In 1995, fragments of combed ware, coarse wares and a pithos rim were observed, as were two fragments of millstones, one of andesite, the other of a different volcanic material[095.31]. The andesitic fragment is 7 cm. thick; its maximum preserved size is 12 x 10 cm.
The ceramic finds from these tombs (I23-I27) are extremely mixed chronologically, from Classical to Modern, with one or two earlier pieces. It is impossible to provide any secure dates for many of the tiles.
