KANTZA - 2007

Kantza, Leontariou, A. Kampa and Phaethontos Streets (O.T. 1, property of R.E.D.S. Co). D. Christodoulou (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discoveries of a building, a rock-cut pit and a road (Fig 1). 6 walls were found, which were constructed either from roughly worked stones or stones and bricks. The walls attest to two construction phases. A kiln was found in one of the rooms. Signs of burning were preserved in its interior. The kiln contained sherds from fine ware, iron nails, iron and lead lumps, and a silver Athenian coin with an owl. A destruction layer extended around the kiln. The layer contained numerous pottery sherds (cups, lamps, unguentaria, skyphoi, bowls, etc), iron and lead artefacts and two bronze coins. Part of a lime plaster floor was also revealed. Finally, an ancient road was found SW of the building.
