Description
Aigialeia, Motorway Korinthos-Patras-Pyrgos-Tsakona, between Ancient Corinth and Aigion. Erofili Kollia (ΣΤ’ΕΠΚΑ) reports on excavations undertaken in 193 trenches that were dug during the course of the present road works. The following were discovered.
At Zachloritika (trench 7) were two tile covered burials devoid of grave goods. Grave I (1.63x0.66x0.42 m.) was built with Laconian tiles which were supported by rubble that had been placed around the edge of the construction. It was aligned in an E-W orientation with the body placed in an extended position. Grave II (1.61x0.40x0.34 m.) was similar in terms of its construction.
At Zachloritika (trench 8) was part of pipe which was aligned on a SW-NE axis and was investigated over a length of 5.43 m. It was internally built using river stones and mortar, while its upper surface was covered with limestone slabs.
At Akrata (trench 36) was a tile covered grave aligned on a N-S axis (1.85x0.40-0.59x0.41 m.) and constructed using two pairs of Laconian tiles. No bones were preserved.
At Nikoleika (trench 71) was a rubble wall aligned on a NW-SE axis, around which Mycenaean pottery was collected. Trench 70 in the same area was a destruction layer (2.40x0.80 m.), containing rubble and Mycenaean pottery.
At Keryneia (trench 90) was a rubble wall (2.30 x0.45m.) aligned on a NE-SW axis. To the north of the wall was a destruction layer of rubble, a few bones and pottery sherds dated to the Early Helladic period. Trench 92 contained another destruction layer with pottery sherds, also dated to the Early Helladic period.
At Eliki (site Kalanteri, trench 110) was a wall aligned on a NE-SW axis, with visible dimensions (2.40x0.90 m.). Its eastern side was made of a single row of roughly made stones, while its western side consisted of more carefully worked limestone. Pottery sherds attributed to the Hellenistic period were collected together with tiles. In trench 115 and attributed to the same site, was another wall of similar construction, also dated to the Hellenistic period. In trench 120 was another rubble wall, although no associated pottery was found.
At Marmara (trench 193) was part of a building constructed using carefully worked conglomerate stones in the polygonal system. Pottery of the Classical period was collected.
