LAVRION, ARY - 2016

Lavrion, Ary, ore enrichment complex. Hans Lohman (Universität Bochum) and Adreas Kapetanios (Ephorate of Antiquities of east Attica) report on continued excavation at Ary 63, 76 and 8 (Fig. 1). Ary 63 dates in the second half of the 4^th and the first half of the 3^rd c. B.C. (Fig. 2). Remains of the cupellation process were found and will be analysed. Ary 76 dates in the early 5^th c. (Fig. 3). Ary 8, like most other Lavrion furnaces, was destroyed in recent years and cannot be dated with accuracy. Nevertheless, basalt slabs were found, which had been used to pave the floor of the furnace.
