LENTAS - 2003

Lentas (Gortyn) (Palieraki property). A. Vasilakis (ΚΓ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a second- to third-century building. Twelve rooms were uncovered but excavation was only completed in the three easternmost. The walls were constructed of stone, mud-brick and tile, and at least one room was paved with stone and terracotta tiles. One small room to the east is identified as a kitchen on the basis of household vessels (chytres, amphorae), fish and animal bones. The main entrance was in the north wall of the building: in an open clay-floored space outside the building to the north lay eight columns.
