VOULA - Pegadakia - 2006

Voula, Pegadakia, 9 Ritsou Street (O.T. 306, property of K. Fotopoulos). Triantafyllia Kattoula (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of two marble sarcophagi from the area of a previously excavated Π-shaped enclosure. Both had been looted, leaving only a gilded terracotta rosette possibly from a necklace. A pyre and two pithos burials were located west of the sarcophagi.

A Π-shaped enclosure was excavated on the east of the plot: while it not absolutely clear that this is not that revealed in 1991 (of which there is no ground plan), the excavator suggests that there were two enclosures, one on each side of the ancient road through this area.

Yiannos Kouragios and Mary Yiamalidi (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the further discovery of seven pithos burials, seven pyres and four sarcophagi (three of marble and one of limestone). The pithoi and sarcophagi had been looted and contained no grave goods. A few bronze and pottery vessels were excavated from the pyres. Two rectangular rock-cut offering pits contained 25 intact vessels (plates, kantharoi, skyphoi,and pyxides), mostly miniatures, and many sherds.
