Tomb B8

To the south of tombs B1, B2, and B3, the hypogeum B8 stands independent and has a layout of its own : two levels connected by an interior stairway. This tomb stands somewhat apart and would seem to have been cut at one go during the Early Imperial period, and thus did not experience successive organisational transformations or enlargements as did its neighbours. One can also note the homogenous fashion in which the loculi were cut, the absence of traces of plaster used to seal the loculi and the fact that the bones were systematically emptied from this tomb.
