KOROPI, Kassou and Anonymous Streets - 2010

Koropi, Kassou and Anonymous Streets (O.T. 336, property of A. Tsakopoulou and I. Nikolaou). Eleni Andrikou (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a Classical-Hellenistic farmstead (4^th-3^rd c. B.C.). The farmstead had nine rooms and a courtyard (Fig 1). It is possible that a tenth space belonged to this farmstead. Otherwise it might have belonged to another farmstead in this area. The walls were constructed with rubble. Numerous rock-cut pits were found in the courtyard. Some of these contained pottery sherds. The excavator supports the idea that the pits attest to manufacturing activities. A well was also found near the farmstead. Finally, a grave was excavated, which contained two Hellenistic burials.

Finds from the area include pottery sherds (fine ware and coarse ware), loom weights, 33 bronze coins, the bronze figurine of a hare and a fragment of an inscription (Fig. 2).

E. Sioula conducted the excavation and a full report will follow after its completion.
