Karaiika, Vasileios Argyropoulos (ΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a destruction layer (8.0x2.4 m.) containing orange and red Laconian tiles and unpainted pottery. Also found were building materials dated to the Late Classical to Early Hellenistic periods, with a square construction (1.25x1.10 m.) of tile and pithoi fragments to the south-east of the destruction layer. A few meters to the south was part of a clay pipe made of tiles, along with a poorly preserved well to the west. Large quantities of pottery including skyphoi, lamps, kantharoi, lekythoi, dishes and pithoi were also collected, all dated to the Late Classical period.
Excavations at the Classical cemetery in the area continued this year, producing a secondary cremation and two pit burials dated to the Late Classical period.
