Megara - 2006

Megara, Salamina Street (O.T. 326, property of S. Mourtzoukou). Eirini Svana (Γ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a section of poros stone wall, found 0.3m beneath the road surface. The wall was 0.0m wide, with a preserved height of 3.5m. The three lower parts of the wall extended 5.7m in length, while the upper parts were at least 6.75m. Protruding sections sit on a layer of dark brown soil without any ceramic finds. The second layer, however, was covered in a thick brown clay, containing a large amount of pottery from the fifth through mid third centuries BC. Below this was a compact brown (foundation?) layer, also filled with fifth century pottery. It has been suggested by the excavators that this was an unfinished foundation wall, later reused and repaired.
