Report
Argos, Paschalinopoulou Street (O.T. 69, property of G. and K. Giannikaki). A. Vasileiou (25th EBA) reports the discovery of two early modern wine presses and collection tanks, some architectural remains, a well and burials. The eastern of the wine presses is rectangular (4.25 x 3.30m), built of stone and lined with hydraulic mortar: a spout in the southern wall leads to a collecting tank of similar construction (with hydraulic mortar inside and out). To the east of this press was a narrow-mouthed well also lined with a thick layer of hydraulic mortar. Pottery includes fragments of 19th-century Cannakale ware, drip-painted ware, and some sherds of the 13th to 15th centuries. Seven simple pit graves, including two child burials, lay south of the well. The skeletons were oriented mainly northeast-southwest, supine, with the head to the south and the arms straight. There were no grave goods.
