KEPHALLONIA - Ellinika (Kateleios) - 2000

Ellinika, Kateleios (I. and G. Mila property). A. Sotiriou (then Στ' ΕΠΚΑ, now Director, ΛΕ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports on continuing excavation of a Roman to Late Roman settlement on a plateau 150−200m from the sea (see ADelt 54 [1999] Chr, 278−79). (Fig. 1).

Room 1 (divided into two areas) contained Laconian pan and cover tiles arranged in stacks; a thick destruction layer over it contained stone, plaster, tile, pottery and pieces of floor mosaic with geometric and floral decoration which must have fallen from an upper storey or mezzanine (Figs 2-3).

A quantity of slag of varying sizes was found in a destruction deposit with roof tile in the east of the plot. There must have been a workshop in the area, though remains of the structure have yet to be located.
