📜 Archeological Field & Numismatic Evidence Report
REPORT #TOMB-2400-PALE

Summary of Archaeological Context: Stratigraphic excavation at depth layer 3.80m uncovered a vaulted cist tomb constructed of dressed Pamphylian limestone. The tomb contained a single male burial associated with athletic grave goods, notably three well-preserved Hellenistic coins featuring explicit wrestling motifs.

Athletic Identification Hypothesis: The presence of Aspendos and Selge staters depicting Orthopale (upright wrestling) waist grabs and wrist controls—combined with a bronze agony trophy coin—confirms high socio-athletic status. The tomb occupant was likely a celebrated professional athlete or patron of the local Palaestra.

Proof Verification Matrix: All 3 artifacts excavated, restored, and combat-matched.

Stratigraphic Excavation & Iconographic Hold Matching

Read the explanation

In the four-by-four excavation grid, brushing clears the sediment mask down to the tomb floor, revealing buried silver and bronze staters. Selecting an uncovered artifact opens the numismatic workbench, where scrubbing removes oxidation to inspect relief motifs. Choosing the matching combat technique verifies the hold. When all three artifacts are validated, the evidence report attributes the tomb to an ancient wrestler.
