VARI - 2006

Vari, Terpsichoris Street (property of A.-M. Kolaite).Maria Kassimi-Souttou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a (possibly public) fifth- and fourth-century BC complex which formed part of the Lathouriza settlement. Twenty-two small rooms were built around, and primarily north of, a courtyard (14.5m north-south x 4.6-5.1m east-west) which was surrounded by walls founded on bedrock. These walls are preserved to a height of 0.16-0.25m. Pottery from the area was largely coarse, with some black-glaze, lamps, red slip vessels, a spindle whorl, and few querns.
