LADOCHORI - 2010

Ladochori, Igoumenitsa. The 8th EBA reports the discovery of an extensive Late Roman-Early Christian settlement, with roads (and water channels beneath), houses, and a cemetery. A five-aisled basilica was also partially excavated, with a mosaic floor decorated with geometric motifs. A residential complex had a long central hall with fifth-century floor mosaics, surrounded by smaller rooms (fig. 1). Finds include much domestic pottery, glass, architectural members with relief decoration, a fifth-century gold coin, and a terracotta mould depicting the Good Shepherd (figs 2-3).
