Report

Anemomylos (second property of M. Pierri). G. Metallinou (Η’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports that the completion of excavation revealed further parts of the two buildings previously discovered. In the southwest part of the plot were two section of wall of the third and latest, Roman, building phase, (10 and 11) built in roughly worked blocks with orange-red cement.

On the south edge of the plot a further part of a known wall (8) lay beneath an early seventh- to late fifth-century level (VI). This fill provides the first dating evidence for the structure, placing it in the early Classical period. The wall was one of three (7-9) belonging to a large structure of unknown size and function.

At a lower level (-3.25 - -4/25m below sea level, where excavation stopped), an extensive artificial fill of rough stone (plus a well worked piece) represents the earliest intervention.

Finds from the plot include 22 oxydised and poorly preserved coins, in the upper levels mainly plain pottery plus a few Roman lamps, and in level VI large quantities of plain and black-glaze pottery, as well as Protocorinthian and black-figure sherds. Part of a large Archaic wild goat amphora and transport amphora sherds are also noted.
