ATHENS. - Plaka-17 Tholos Street - 2007

Plaka, 17 Tholos Street (property of H. Mauroleon). Nikos Tsoniotis (Α’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on further excavation in the plot. A wall was excavated which separates two rooms (Fig. 1). Room one had an earth floor. Room 2 contained a tiled floor with signs of repairs (Fig. 2). A section of the floor was plastered with rose-coloured hydraulic cement (kourasani). Pottery dating from the middle of the 3^rd until the early 5^th centuries A.D. was excavated from the north part of this room. In addition, few 1^st c. B.C. sherds were found.

The excavator identifies the rooms as a house. Based on the pottery found at its NE corner, the house is dated in the 1^st c. B.C. to the 1^st A.D. With respect to the π-shaped terracotta channel, which was reported found in the same plot the previous year, the excavator dates it in the 5^th and 6^th centuries A.D.
