NAUPLION - 2000

Nauplion, Charilaou Trikoupi Street (O.T. 380βb, G. and E. Sagioti property). Ch. Piteros (Director, Δ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports discoveries made during the excavation of a basement, north of the road.
A probably Venetian stone conduit lined with lime plaster (internally 0.6m high, 0.23m wide, wall depth 0.25−0.3m, oriented northeast-southwest) likely brought drinking water from the Glykeia spring immediately southwest of the hill of Profitis Ilias to the eastern side of Nauplion harbour. Parts of the Venetian conduit (oriented north-south) have previously been located to the east on properties along the west side of Profitis Ilias Street.
In the central part of the plot were sherds of household pottery and roof tile but no building remains. A destruction layer included Late Roman (fourth- to fifth-century AD) sherds.
