Athens - Plaka, intersection of 3 Markou Aureliou Street and 1 Kyrristou Street - 2015

Athens - Plaka, intersection of 3 Markou Aureliou Street and 1 Kyrristou Street (property of A. and A. Papandreou). Maria Tsichli and Raina Pouli (Ephorate of Antiquities of Athens) report on  the discovery of post-Byzantine walls and small finds discovered during the renovation and restoration of the listed building located on this site.

In addition to ten separate walls, two Byzantine grain silos were located, and a stone structure measuring 1.60 x 1.30 x 0.54m of unknown function.

Further to the N part of the site, more post-Byzantine and modern walls were found, including also masonry and clay pipes. Also in the same area there was another long pipeway, lined with slate and seemingly connected to a sewage system.

Another set of walls from this site include within them spolia pieces from the Roman period, from architectural members, mainly (Ionic) columns; they could also be dated to the Early Byzantine period.

A large number of ceramics were collected during the excavation, mainly post-Byzantine and modern ceramics, and also glass, metal fragments, and pieces of sculpture.
