Description
Perivolia. The ΛΘ’ ΕΠΚΑ reports the discovery, during the construction of the Megalopolis junction on the Tripolis to Kalamata motorway, in the area of Potistika northeast of the village of Perivolia, of a planned settlement. Residential insulae were organised around a regular grid of streets and stone-paved roads. The town reached its peak in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, with the oldest phase of settlement in the Geometric (eighth century) and Archaic (seventh and sixth centuries) documented mainly through pottery (fig. 1). The site, which lies outside modern Megalopolis, was identified before excavation with ancient Aimonion, mentioned by Pausanias.
