GLYKA NERA, Phouresi - 2006

Glyka Nera, Phouresi, Cycladon Street (O.T. 132, Meleki property). Athena Hatzidemetriou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of further parts of a Late Roman workshop first reported in 2005. Twelve rock-cut circular or oval pits (destined to accommodate pithoi or clay deposits) range in diameter from 0.64 to 1.4m and in depth from 0.18 to 0.47m. Eight walls built of small stones and mortar were excavated in the area of the pits. Finally, a stone-built cistern (1.9 x 1.04m, 0.7m deep) was revealed in the northeast corner of the plot. Its walls were coated with three layers of plaster, and there was a round drainage hole in its northeast corner.
