KOROPI - 2006

Koropi, Kotzia and Heras Streets (O.T. 278, property of D. Kotzia). Eleni Andrikou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a Byzantine workshop or a warehouse complex and a Geometric burial. The complex consisted of walls and rock-cut pits, with an irregular stone-paved area in the northeast by which were two pithoi. A rectangular room (3.9 x 2.1 m) had a tiled floor and two rock-cut pits.

A Geometric inurned cremation (in an amphora, with a kyathos as a lid) was found in a rock cavity south of the Byzantine complex. Stone slabs were placed along three sides of the amphora, and the space around them showed traces of burning. The amphora contained burned bone, and a bronze fibula was found outside it.
