ARGYROUPOLIS - 2005

Argyroupolis. K. Giapitsoglou (28th EBA) reports on excavation inside the church of Ag. Kyriaki. The longer side-walls are reused from the caldarium of a Late Roman bath. Inside and outside the church are 12th-century cist tombs. Rescue excavation in the town revealed Byzantine walls and houses: a two-roomed glass-workshop, with a large quantity of glass-paste and vase fragments, is a unique find of the Early Byzantine period in this region.
