KERATSINI-DEH works - 2007

Keratsini, DEH works (Gkionas and Kissavou Streets and Demokratias Avenue). M. Petritaki (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of five burials on Gkionas and Kissavou Streets: three pyres and two shaft graves. Both pyres had a circular shape. Shaft grave I was rock-cut and included skeletal remains from 11 consecutive burials, seven coins and two Late Roman pots. Shaft grave II was also rock-cut and contained few bones and pottery sherds. An apsidal building was found on Demokratias Avenue 182. It had a mortar floor and its walls were constructed from bricks, rubble and mortar. Wall remains were revealed in the area around the building. The latter is dated in early Christian times. Its use, however, cannot be determined.
