PATRAS - 2005

Patras. 8 6th Syntagmatos Street. A. Koumousi (6^th EBA) reports the discovery of the corner of a Byzantine (11^th- to 12^th-century) building with strong walls of large squared blocks (separated by two courses of brick) bound with cement, which is preserved to a maximum height of 3.58m. The interior faces preserved traces of plaster. The date is supplied by pottery and coins (half tetartira and anonymous folles). Sections of the same building had previously been discovered during rescue excavation on the neighbouring plot to the east in 1998. (ADelt 53 [1998] Chr 258). Across the remainder of the plot were walls and water channels belonging to an industrial installation (a lime kiln).
