Amyklai Sanctuary of Apollo. Stavros Vlizos (Ε ΕΠΚΑ) reports on continuing excavations in the N section of the sanctuary of Apollo Amyklaios, especially between structures of Late Antiquity and the church of Agia Kyriaki (Fig. 1). Directly outside the N wall of the church, in the middle of its length, the W part of a foundation of an apse was discovered (Fig. 2). Two destroyed burials were found 10 m SW of the church. The side walls of 1 burial had architectural member used as spolia.
A trench of Γ shape was opened on the SW side of the monumental peribolos-retaining wall (Fig. 3).
