Description
Trapeza Aigiou. Andreas Vordos (ΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on further investigation of the Late Archaic temple in the centre of the archaeological site of Trapeza (Fig. 1). In the area of the cella were the stones of the euthynteria of the interior columns which stood along the northern and southern sides. Parts of the floors of three isles were also uncovered, while in the axis of the cella was the pedestal of a statue (Fig. 2), which was of square stepped construction, probably with its own foundation. The temple did not have an opisthonaos or adyton.
Abundant architectural remains were collected during the excavations, derived from the temple’s superstructure (entablature). These included roof tiles, fragments of the triglyph and metope, along with large numbers of sculptures from the western pediment which depicted a battle scene (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5). From within the area of the cella was found the torso of Athena (Fig. 6), which provides a strong indication as to whom the temple was dedicated.
