ATHENS- Amphipolis. -Archeologists have unearthed
two sculpted female figures, known as Caryatids, as they slowly make
their way into an ancient tomb recently discovered in Greece's
northeast, the country's culture ministry said on Sunday.
They mark a significant new finding in the tomb on the Amphipolis
site, about 100 km (65 miles) from Greece's second-biggest city
Thessaloniki, which archeologists have hailed as a major discovery from
the era of Alexander the Great.
The figures made of Greek marble were unearthed on Saturday, the ministry said in a statement.
