Description
Megara, junction of Alepochoriou and Tsigri Streets (property of A. Chatzi, O.T. 645). P. Avgerinou (Γ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of three wells. Wells 2 and 3 were sunk into bedrock and well 1 into the natural soil.
The oval well 1 was explored to a depth of 3m from the rim (when finds ceased). Its fill contained stone and marble fragments plus pottery dating from the sixth century BC to the Roman period. The round well 2 (0.95m in diameter) contained only pottery in smaller quantities than in well 1, continuing to a depth of 1.1m from the rim. The fill of the round well 3 (0.9m in diameter) was less disturbed than that of the previous two: it contained a large quantity of pottery which can be securely dated to the Archaic and early Classical periods, plus shell and slag (to a depth of 2m from the rim).
