Chania - 1 Katre street - 2006

Chania - 1 Katre street. Maria Andreadaki-Vlazaki (ΚΕ’ EPKA) reports that archaeological investigations commenced in a plot in 1 Katre Street on Kastelli hill of the town of Chania (Fig. 1). During the first excavation season, research was focused on preliminary large scale ground works. A thick discharge layer of the 20^th century was removed and later four trenches were opened (Α-Δ). The upper layers date to the Roman occupation years. Neither these, nor the lower Hellenistic layers produced structural remains. The first architectural remains date to the Archaic period. Deeper in the ground, pits of the Geometric period as well as layers of the LM IIIC phase were detected. Large volumes of pottery and a significant number of small finds were gathered and recorded.
