ANCIENT SIKYON - Vasiliko - 2000

Ancient Sikyon (Vasiliko), football stadium (A. and T. Tselondré property). P. Kasimi (then Δ' ΕΠΚΑ, now ΛΖ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports on excavation in an ancient quarry, revealing exposed quarry faces and abandoned blocks.
The quarry lay 0.2m below the modern surface and reached a depth of 1.2m. Further finds are a conduit cut into the rock and a partially preserved mosaic pavement probably from a courtyard.
Terracotta small finds of the first half of the third century BC include two intact lamps, two loomweights and an unguentarium. Two well-preserved silver tetradrachms were found: one an Alexander from the mint of Miletos (Sikyon Museum 3162: Figs 1-2) and the second of Demetrios Poliorketes (298−295 BC) from the mint of Amphipolis (Sikyon Museum 3163: Figs 3-4).
