Thessaloniki  Metro General. Ch. Bakirtzis and N. Pazaras report on rescue excavation conducted in 2006−2007, when 58 trenches were opened and pre-drilling tests made, 43 of which produced antiquities. Portable finds are noted as few, and mostly small quantities of post-Byz domestic pottery and Ot tobacco pipes, also ECh transport vessels, a few bronze coins and marble spolia. Disturbance to often shallowly buried LRom and ECh remains from 19th and 20th Ct AD construction was generally severe. The authors present a useful series of tables setting out in detail the building remains and portable finds located trench by trench, according to construction area (Demokratias station, Demokratias-Venizelou line, Venizelou station, Venizelou-Ag. Sophia line, Ag. Sophia station, Ag. Sophia-Sintrivani line and Stavroupolis branch). Almost all architectural finds are sections of wall (rarely connecting into recognizable structures), water channel and paving: readers concerned with the LRom and ECh topography of the city are referred to these tables.  Maps and useful updates on the construction can be found at http://www.ametro.gr.
