Maria Giannopoulou (Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus & Islands) reports on work conducted at Troezen. At the plain extended outside the city walls, a long, wide retaining wall of W.-E. orientation, was excavated (fig.1). The wall was probably constructed in late Archaic times, rather to block a stream that seems to have crossed this land, as indicated by a layer of sand and cobbles. Part of the wall seems to have been destroyed by the waters of the stream. The construction of the wall...

On a mis au jour, à 600 m de la place centrale de Damala, une tombe à ciste d'époque romaine, entièrement pillée, dans une zone où s'étendait probablement une nécropole antique. Dans un champ, on a dégagé l'assise inférieure d'un enclos funéraire, ainsi qu'une tombe à tuiles contenant deux squelettes et de la céramique hellénistique. Une chambre funéraire souterraine a d'autre part été découverte dans un champ à l'Ouest de la section Est des remparts. Elle devait être...
