MOSCHATO - 2009

Moschato. Excavations carried out on a plot at 7 Pireos Street by M. Raftopoulou (ΚΣτ' ΕΠΚΑ) revealed 2 phases of a structure identified as a shrine. The older phase (5.5m x 8.6m) dates to the Late Archaic period; the later (7.35m x 5.5m) to the 4th century BC. Both buildings had gates at the entrance, in front of which was found an altar (1.55m x 1m). In another plot, at 30 Pireos Street, excavations uncovered hydraulic installations of the 5th century BC with tanks, a well and clay pipes.
