Patras, Arachnaiou and Boukaouri Streets - 2008

Patras, Arachnaiou and Boukaouri Streets (Property of N. Selechopoulou). Lydia Malatara (6th ΕΒΑ) reports on the discovery of building remains to the east of the castle of Patras, belonging to two different chronological phases. The first included buildings dated to the Early Byzantine period, while the second relates to parts of the urban grid dated mainly to the Middle and Late Byzantine (11th – 14th centuries). Pottery of the 12th - 14th centuries was found, along with two bronze coins, one from an anonymous follis dated to the second half of the 11th century. The excavator identified the building remains as part of a secular building or complex.
