Abstract

Eight plain three-legged tables were found in the Tumulus MM chamber. These tables were numbered (1-7 and 9) by Young and drawn by Dorothy Cox on the tomb plan. This chapter presents an image of table 1, after its removal from the tomb, in Gordion I. The legs of table 2 have plain tops and rounded feet with flat, circular bases. The legs of table 3 are badly damaged but can be reconstructed in drawings. The legs of table 4 are the most distinctive of the group. Table 5 is one of the best preserved of all the plain tables. The wood of table 6 is degraded, and the legs and table top are in very poor condition. The top of table 7 is degraded like table 6; hence its width cannot be accurately measured. The legs of table 9 are the most poorly preserved of all the table legs.
