Description
L. Karali-Giannakopoulou (Athens) reports on the joint Athens University/EPSNE excavations begun in 2003.
The cave, situated W of Paiania, lies at an altitude of 691masl and consists of 2 main areas with a total l. of ca. 50m, w. 20m, h. 11m and d. 6m. First occupied in the E phase of the LNeo, it probably served as a shrine to Pan during Cl times, and continued to be used for seasonal habitation at least until the end of the Cl period. Finds included numerous pottery sherds from the Neo to the mod. period, fine worked lithics, animal bones and sea shells. The excavation was completed in 2007, and study continues on the archaeozoological, palaeobotanical and geomorphological evidence.
