Description
Lefkakia, Property of Ypapantis Church. Christos Piteros (Δ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports on new excavations at the hekatompedon temple that had been investigated in previous years (Fig. 1). The new excavations revealed the foundation of the temple, aligned on an E-W axis and built of six courses of poros blocks of 1.40x0.80-1.20x0.35-0.40 m. in size (Figs. 3, 4). The south-eastern part of the temple excavated so far was 13.30 m. in length and 8.50 m. wide and continued into adjacent properties. It was dated to the Late Archaic/Early Classical periods, while the previous discovery of pottery sherds and foundations dated to the Late Geometric/Archaic periods, point to construction of the current temple over an earlier one.
A dumping area of about 3 m. in diameter was found incorporated into the north-eastern part of the foundations. It was dug into the bedrock and contained tile fragments, domestic pottery, charcoal, animal bones and seashells (Fig. 2). Dated to the 12th to 13th centuries AD, a pipe carved into the poros foundation of the temple led to this pit, which was probably associated with a private house of the Late Byzantine period.
