MOSCHATO - Knossou, Thermopylon and Xenophontos Streets - 2008

Moschato, Knossou, Thermopylon and Xenophontos Streets (O.T. 91, property of A. and A. Michalodimitraki). A-M Anagnostopoulou and M. Raftopoulou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the discovery of a road and a roadside settlement (Figs 1,2). The road had retaining walls on both sides. Aktite stone from the Piraeus had been used in the construction of some of the walls in the settlement. Two construction phases are discernible, which are dated in the Hellenistic period. The use of the aktite stone is associated with the earlier phase. Both the road and the settlement are linked to the nearby sanctuary of Kybele.
