Corinth Monument Panayia Long Wall Building

Collection:		Corinth
Type:		Monument
Name:		Panayia Long Wall Building
Description:		Another structure to the south of the Panayia bath bears no relation to it except that the two buildings border a common parcel of land. Little is known about the function of the so-called “Long Building” because the limits of the property have precluded fuller exploration. It extends almost 50 meters east–west on the same orientation as the bath and had basement rooms to the east but not to the west. Its construction is similar to that of the bath and to judge from the fill of robbing trenches from which its fabric largely derived, and which its wall foundations physically cut, the “Long Building” also dates to the 6th century A.D. Inside one of the basement rooms the plasterer has incised fish with his trowel. Outside along the face of the wall are several burials post-dating its construction including adult tile graves and the remains of new-born infants, each placed within an amphora of the Gaza type.
