Ancient Tenea - 2021

Ancient Tenea. Elena Korka (YPPOA) reports on discoveries made during this year’s systematic excavation at Chiliomodi, Corinth.

The aim of this year’s excavation was to complete the excavation of the rooms of the Roman bath (fig. 1), excavated already in 2019 and 2020, and to investigate the commercial buildings identified in 2020.

45m N of the bath complex and 2m below the ground, an Early Bronze Age deposit was found. It was covered in a thick layer of stones and a pile of ceramics, and was itself lined with stones. The deposit was elliptical in shape, with dimensions 3.30 x 3.10m, and descending to 6.80m, gradually narrowing at the end.
