Fragments of the mosaic floor and balustrade panels suggests its existence. Three stairs in the north seem to have led to the galleries. |
While the church was still in use, three tombs were built under the floors. One of them was installed in the southern wing of the atrium and covered with stone slabs. In one of them a hole was pierced, probably, for the pouring of liquid. Badly preserved skeletons were found in the tomb, as well as broken glass vessels. The second tomb was installed under the floor of the northern part of the narthex; it was also covered with the slabs. It contained burial goods: broken glass vessels, a silver cross, metal jewelry as well as human bones. When the narthex was rebuilt and covered with a mosaic floor, the tomb was also covered with it. The third tomb was located in the northern room of the church. The tomb was found with the cover, but inside it jars of different sizes and human bones were found. Most probably, it served in a secondary used as a small storage place after the church went out of use. |
