VARI - 2006

Vari, Demetros and Hagias Lauras Streets (property of Kousiaki).Maria Kassimi-Souttou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a 40m-long early Classical retaining wall, oriented northwest-southeast in the south-southwest part of the plot, along with seven rooms from a building complex, with rubble walls and in some cases soft limestone floors. Finds from the complex comprise fourth-century BC pottery, a stone quern, shells, 11 pyramidal loom weights, a black-glazed conical spindle whorl, plain and black-glazed sherds, a miniature black-glazed vessel, a bronze lenticular weight, pieces of bronze, pithoi and fourth-century pointed amphorae, a marble fragment, part of the rim of a bronze vessel, and 10 obsidian flakes and blades.

Four looted burials (possibly of children), one pyre and one shaft grave were excavated: a few late Archaic sherds were found.
