PIRAEUS - 111 Neorion St. - 2008

Piraeus, 111 Neorion St. (property of Kavarlingos). K. Axioti (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of two quarries on the west foot of Mounichia hill. The first quarry was partly filled and built over in the 4^th c. B.C. Two walls attest to this subsequent building activity. A drain ran diagonally inside one of the rooms. The second quarry had 5 courses of block extraction and the extraction channels were well-preserved (Fig 1). Like the previous one, it was built over in the beginning of the 4^th c. B.C. A well constitutes the only witness for this later building activity.
