Description
Glarentza. D. Athanasoulis (6th EBA) reports on continuing rescue excavation in the large Gothic church of the medieval city.
On either side of the rectangular sanctuary were two side-chapels. The porch (with its collapsed stone surround) was in the middle of the west wall; in a latter phase this was walled up. There were two smaller entrances in the middle of the north side and the east end of the south.
Robbed cist tombs were found along the long sides of the building, and in the fill between them bone, and bronze and iron spurs. A large number of fragments of decorated glass collected from the tombs come from the church glassworks. More recent pit graves were investigated under the church floor and in the destruction fill of the church.
Thirteenth- and 14th-century Italian glazed pottery is prominent among the portable finds.
