Report
Katakolo, Agios Andreas (property of A. Pavlidi). Christos Matzanas (Ζ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of antiquities dated to the period between Late Helladic IIIC and the Geometric (c. 1200-700 BC) (Fig. 1). The excavations produced the following: a pile of stones and a well filled with pottery (Fig. 2), ground stone, bones and charcoal attributed to the Submycenaean to Early Iron Age. A roughly made curved precinct wall (Fig. 3) of a double pithos burial dated to the Geometric period (Fig. 4). A pile of stones in which a pithamphoriskos and Geometric or early Orientalising pottery were collected. A single storage pithos (Fig. 5) and various deposits containing bones, charcoal, tiles and building remains, along with pottery attributed to the Submycenaean to Early Iron Age, as well as to the Archaic/Classical period. A carefully worked shellstone rock of rhomboid shape, probably Early Bronze Age. At its western end was a shallow concavity, partially filled with sediment including pottery sherds, charcoal and bones, along with a complete possible inurned cremation pot of the Submycenaean to Early Iron Age (Figs. 6, 7)
