PATRAS - 2010

Patras, 135 Kanakari Street (property of M. Kaligosphyri). The 6th EBA reports the discovery of part of the northeast cemetery of the city (Fig. 1). The corners of two first-century subterranean funerary monuments with a stone krepis and façade onto the cemetery road (Fig. 2). The funerary peribolos which surrounded them also contained 12 cist graves with a large quantity of coins which confirm the continuous use of the cemetery from the first to the sixth centuries AD. In the eastern part of the plot was a workshop with storage pithoi (Fig. 3): many Early Byzantine bronze coins were collected.

The water supply system had at least three phases, the principal of which dates to the Early Christian period.
