PIRAEUS - 22 Mavrokordatou Street - 2006

Piraeus, 22 Mavrokordatou Street (property of I. Fassaki). Kornelia Axioti (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of part of the same ancient road traced at 27 Mavrokordatou Street, plus the remains of a Classical house built in an abandoned stone quarry (the external wall was set in the quarry cuttings). This house belongs to a block partly excavated in 1991 on the corner of 27-29 Krevvata and Salaminomachon Streets. The wall delimits a room (6 x 6m), and part of a stone-paved courtyard was also revealed. Between the courtyard and the wall was a bell-shaped cistern (rim diameter: 0.8). The house contained fourth-century BC black-glazed domestic pottery, with no evidence of later activity.
