THESEIO - 2010

Theseio, Poulopoulou 6 and Amphiktyonos (property of P. Sakellari). Giannis Maurokefalidis (Γ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of 5 walls, 2 cisterns, 1 terracotta drain and parts of 5 floors (Fig. 1). One of the cisterns had been subsequently used as a deposit pit. Finds from the area date from the 4^th c. B.C. to the Byzantine period. These include undecorated pottery sherds, cooking pots, storage vessels, red-figure pottery sherds, loom weights, fragments from an iron knife, fragments from lamps and large quantities of murex shells. Numerous terracotta figurines and their moulds were found in the deposit pit. These include figurines of animals, women, female heads, monkeys, dolphins, cocks, rams and a donkey with a hat. The presence of the moulds may point to this building having served as a workshop. Finally, a fragment from an altar was also found in the deposit pit.
