Report
Megara, 19–17 Meletiou Zacharia Street (O.T. 148). Andromachi Katopodi (Γ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on discoveries made during a major project for the environmental upgrade of Megara city, undertaken 2006–2009.
19 walls were found, along with one enclosure, one floor, one cistern, and two paved floors.
Floor 1 was defined by three walls (7, 8 and 9), and was found with Hellenistic pottery, including a relief skyphos. Structurally, wall 9 dates from the Roman period, while wall 12 is from the Late Roman / Early Byzantine period. Walls 11 and 13, also of the same period, surrounded a cistern with diameter 1.12m, which had a clay pipe built into the southern end and a lead pipe.
