Mavrokordatou Street. Sophia Michalopoulou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on two sites excavated on Mavrokordatou Street. On Mavrokordatou 12 (property of E. Dramatinou) a quarry, a bell-shaped cistern and a shaft were revealed.

On Mavrokordatou and Salaminomachon (property of Mastoridi) a 4^th century house was excavated. Earth floors covered most of the house apart from its SW corner which was paved with pebbles. A bell-shaped cistern and a drain leading to it were revealed from the area with the pebble-floor. Two shafts with corbelled roofs had been constructed on the SW and SE sides of the cistern. Numerous miniature vessels (skyphoi and craters) were excavated from the area. The vessels are dated in the last quarter of the 4^th c.
