SALAMIS ISLAND - 2005

Salamis Island. C. Dellaporta, Th. Theodoulou and D. Evangelistis (EMA) report the discovery of a series of sites in a survey of the south coast. Finds include sherds of a pithos which may have been dumped from a settlement on the western headland of Lykopoulou bay.

A shipwreck site was located on the reef which links the islet of Lagousa to the Gaidaros rock to the east. Finds comprise a heap of pan- and cover-tiles and, in the surrounding area, ballast, and sherds of fineware and amphorae (probably of the early Chian swollen necked type).
