Report
Phigaleia, Perivolia (Diasello). G. Hatzi (Director, Ζ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the continuation of systematic excavation on the property of G. Polydora. The temple (9.9 x 6.6m) was fully exposed. Within it, the stone base of a cult statue of an as yet unknown deity or hero was fully exposed. The altar and offering table with lion-paw feet were restored by Ephoreia conservators on the model of fourth- to third-century examples of Arkadian derivation as at Alipheira and the temples of Athena and Zeus Sotiras at Phigaleia.
Due to the wide scatter of building material for some 5m around the building, trial trenches were opened revealing a peribolos or retaining wall on the north of the temple, and a 110m-long stretch of open stone water channel running northwest-southeast.
