Mousga (property of A Konstantopoulou – P Karakaïdou) - 2007

Kyparissia, Mousga (property of A Konstantopoulou – P Karakaïdou). D. Kosmopoulos (ΛΗ’ EΠKA) reports on continued excavation of this 3-phase building complex dating to the late second to early first century BC, the third century AD, and the late fourth to fifth century AD. The excavated area was extended 3-4 m E and 14 m N-S (Fig. 1), revealing the continuation of 6 walls uncovered the previous year and 4 new walls forming rectangular spaces which seem to extend to the E of the main group of buildings. One of the new walls appears to have a slight curve and used many tile fragments and lime-plaster in its construction. The building remains appear to date to the Late Antique-Early Christian period. The terracotta pipe excavated in 2006 ended at a rectangular built structure covered with strong lime-plaster (Fig. 2). Once recording was complete and permission received from the Ministry of Culture, the area was back-filled.
