Velaora plot, Xiropigado - 2007

Velaora plot, Xiropigado. Maria Gatsi (ΛΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on discoveries made during the construction of a new rainwater drainage pipe.

A cistern was revealed 0.2–1m below the surface, with internal dimensions 3.80 x 3.10m (Fig. 1). External dimensions were not ascertained, as the structure extended beyond the excavation plot. The walls were made of small stones, 0.5–0.6m, and the E wall survived to a height 1.10m. The floor was largely destroyed, but was made of pebbles bound with mortar. The cistern was coated with mortar.
