MOSCHATO-Eugenias Street - 2007

Moschato, Eugenias Street 13 (O.T. 85 property of A. Tahtatzi). A-M Anagnostopoulou and M. Raftopoulou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the discovery of a niche, a cauldron and a wall (Fig 1). A square, poros niche with a marble slab at its top was excavated. A bronze cauldron containing ashes and a small Classical alabastron had been placed in a hole at the centre of the niche (Fig 2). The cauldron is in a bad state of preservation and is dated in the late Archaic/early Classical period (500-470 B.C.). The wall dates in the Classical period and is interpreted as the enclosure of a cemetery (Fig 3).
