Description
Anc. Thouria. E. Greco (Director, SAIA) reports on a further season of surface survey in the area of this site, conducted in collaboration with the ΛΗ' ΕΠΚΑ.
In 2007 attention focused on the area S of the city, within the wall and at the S edge of plateau B and beside plateau C. The data gathered were processed in CAD and GIS systems, enabling both quantitative and thematic analyses (of finds by category and class, or elevation models, for example). The team architects made drawings and photographs in the area N of the city known as the location of cemeteries, and of a notable stone quarry from which came a large proportion of the building stone used in the anc. city. Many tombs were visible: their co-ordinates were plotted and particular attention was paid to their relationship to the quarry face, since in many cases this permitted recognition of anc. extraction marks. The addition of these new elements to the area already surveyed and georeferenced provides a complete general picture of the anc. city and its environs.
The annual report of the ΛΗ' ΕΠΚΑ reports findings including the location of a retaining wall (Fig. 1) preserved for a l. of 13.95m and to a h. of 3m, slightly N of the Church of the Ypapantis or Panagitsa (Fig. 2), noting the large number of anc. spolia built into the church and evident nearby. Excavation of the wall revealed a Cl public building (or complex) preserved to a h. of 2.4m (Fig. 3): research at the site continues.
