Description
Kifissia, Kifissias Avenue 313 (O.T. 167, Sector III, property of P. Chalari). Maria Stefanopoulou (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a Hellenistic and Roman house, and a Byzantine workshop (Fig. 1). Part of a building consisting of rubble walls and a courtyard was excavated and dated in the Late Hellenistic period. Contemporary to the building is a rock-cut drain. In Roman times, the building was extended, since more walls were constructed. These are rubble walls with tiles. Contemporary to this phase is a cairn found east of the building and a pi-shaped drain. In the Late Byzantine period the building appears to have been converted into a workshop, since two kilns were excavated – one inside the building (Fig. 2) and the second outside. The kilns contained Late Byzantine pottery sherds. Additional finds from the area include terracotta loom weights, 3 bronze coins and numerous iron nails. The excavation was conducted by I. Lourentzatou under the supervision of the author.
