Report
Amorgos, Arkesini. Further work at the LCl tower residence was undertaken by the ASA in 2007 and 2008. The plan of the structure, and details of its construction and the function of rooms, was revealed, with the clearance of extraneous architectural remains (worked and unworked blocks). The numerous portable finds consisted mostly of pottery, lamps, household equipment, coins, iron nails and lead clamps. A 2nd inscription (noting previously Ergon [2006], 64, pl. 65) was found SE of the tower, cut into a large unworked stone: it is a 3rdCt horos inscription of at least 15 lines which makes reference to the house, the garden and its dependencies.
