Vari, Maroti St. (property of I.Yannopoulou and E. Samova). L. Makradema and A. Andreou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the discovery of a building complex consisting of six rooms. The rooms contained loom weights, bronze coins, numerous broken and intact vessels (pyxides, jugs, terracotta lamps, skyphoi, pithoi, amphorae, kantharoi, lids from lekanides, plates and cups), iron and lead lumps, metal clamps, a terracotta figurine of a male form, a seashell, a spindle whorl, and a lead weight. Room 2 also contained a paved floor, room 3 a bench, and room 5 a foundation deposit. The complex belongs to the deme of Anagyrus as testified by an inscription, which bears the deme’s name and was excavated in room 3. Based on the finds the complex is dated in the late 5^th – early 4^th c. B.C. and is identified as a workshop.
