ARTA - Anc. Ambracia - 2001

Arta (anc. Ambracia), Karaiskaki Street (Klara property). A. Angeli (ΙΒ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a section of a Classical slab-covered water channel during excavation for the reinforcement of a house basement. A further part of the same channel was previously excavated on the Trobouki property to the east. The channel is bounded on either side by Classical walls, that on the north side being the external wall of a Classical house (preserving one angle), traces of which were found elsewhere on the building plot.

The external house walls are founded on the walls of an Archaic house on the same orientation (also represented elsewhere on the plot, although badly damaged by post-Byzantine incursions).
