RODA - 2002

Roda (Kardaraki property). M. Nakou (Η’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of the corner of a building ca 100m south of the ancient temple at Roda. The building was founded on sand: a layer of pebbles and stone chips recovered to the east (right below the building’s destruction layer, with much rooftile) may indicate an attempt to stabilise the surface, and implies that it was close to the ancient shoreline. Finds include transport amphorae, a highly compacted engraved lead object, plain pottery plus a little Classical black-glaze, a few pieces of unfired clay and a very few Archaic sherds. The structure was thus built in the late Archaic/early Classical and abandoned during the Classical period.
