Description
Neos Voutzas, Marathonos Street. †M. Oikonomakou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the excavation of part of a large Roman-Late Roman farm complex at the junction with the road to Neos Voutzas (Figs 1,2). The structure (30 x 50m) was founded in bedrock: it was destroyed by fire, after which the roof collapsed. A room at the southwest contained an olive press next to a round stone base of a large trachyte mill stone, and an unfluted column which supported the mill inside the base. In the remaining rooms were pithoi and amphorae, some smaller vessels (mostly red-slip plates, cups, oinochoes and phialae), also chytres, terracotta beehives and mortars, transport amphorae, and loomweights. Almost all the rooms had floors preserved. In a room at the north side of the structure were three enchytrismoi in large vessels (beehives and amphorae). Along the length of the north side was a passageway cut into the rock. The finds date from the third-sixth century AD.
