It appeared that an adult and a young child were buried there, based on the bones discovered so far.

The material is being removed from the tomb and transported to a laboratory, where the pottery and bones are being consolidated, cleaned, and analysed.

Because of the archaeological sensitivity of the location, the Superintendence of Natural Heritage requested an archaeologist to accompany the workers in case ancient remains are discovered.
