KORYTIANI - 2000

North of the national road from Igoumenitsa to Ioannina, the caldarium of a Roman bath was uncovered (dated by 10 bronze coins to the fourth to fifth century AD). The complex was founded on the remains of a Hellenistic building with two architectural phases (Figs 1-2). A notable collection of pottery, including Hellenistic wares such as molded bowls as well as Roman terra sigillata, plus lamps and two female figurines (Fig. 3) were recovered.

South of the national road and 300m from the junction to Dramesi, part of an Early Christian basilica was uncovered (Fig. 4). After the abandonment of this building in the Middle Byzantine period, the area was used as a cemetery and a small funerary chapel was built: 12 Byzantine cist graves contained limited grave goods.

G. Riginos further reports two robbed cist tombs at site K23 of the irrigation project, south of the national road in the demos of Parapotamou.
