Report
Mitropolis. R. Farioli (SAIA/Bologna) and E. Borboudakis (13th EBA) report on excavation and study undertaken in 2000. The Theodoros mosaic was lifted. Below the layer of opus signinum which supported it was a tomb made of stone set in compacted soils; its northern side made use of an earlier wall. This is contemporary with other tombs related to a pre-Justinianic basilica. To the west ran another wall, part of the water-supply system. A series of stone slabs seems to have damaged both this and the tomb. Work in processing the material (especially the small finds) from the Christian basilica continued.
