ARNISSA Ostrovo - 2006

Arnissa (Ostrovo). S. Zacharidis, F. Karagianni and G. Skiadaresis report systematic documentation of the remains of an Ot bath (hammam) on the NE shore of Lake Vegoritis, close to Arnissa, at a site formerly known as Ostrovo (prominent in M and LByz sources). The bath lies under an abandoned mod. house which severely damaged its structure: nonetheless, a full plan and architectural study is presented. It was likely built at the end of the 15th or E16th Ct AD and continued in use until the rising lake flooded the Ot settlement in the 1st half of the 19th Ct.
