Description
Excavation at Mamousia. Erofili Kolia (ΣΤ’ΕΠΚΑ) reports on new discoveries at the Archaic temple of Mamousia. Further excavation was undertaken along the retaining wall (29.50x0.65-0.85 m.) identified to the north of the temple (Fig. 1). Built using roughly worked conglomerate, it was preserved to a height of one or two courses. In the upper part of the wall was found spolia from the temple as well as fragments of sculptures belonging to the pediment. At the better constructed western end of the wall was an orthostate of between 0.65-0.70 m. in height, consisting of a large vertically placed stone slab resting on a base of small sized rubble. To the south of the wall was a layer containing large quantities of sandstone and tile fragments, bones, pottery and a few metal objects. The most important find from this layer was a marble head of a wild-boar.
