"","Rodney S. Young","Report","1937 Υ","Agora","","Section Υ; 1937 Excavation Summary","Agora:Report:1937 Υ","","","1 Oct 1936-24 Apr 1937","Section Υ had suffered from modern leveling operations and in some parts there were no visible antiquities. In the southeast corner were traces of Proto-Geometric grave cuttings. Excavation revealed the foundations of a large rectangular structure, probably the court of a Byzantine house still beneath modern houses. In one corner of the court was a well and a trough. The well was excavated and objects from Byzantine and Roman periods were found. In addition, a Hellenistic chamber cistern was dug and amongst the finds were several stamped amphora handles. A rectangular stone structure turned out to be a Byzantine tomb containing thirteen skeletons. Through the section runs a drain which probably went out of use in time of the Herulian intrusion. At the north end the drain was cut in an ancient road fill and probably the ancient street originally ran over the drain for the whole length of its course. Beside the road, parts of two ancient retaining walls are preserved. A skeleton, probably a victim of the Greek War of Independence, was uncovered. Finally, seven more wells and one more cistern were dug.","Checked","Agora:ReportPage:1937-Υ-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 Υ/1937 Υ 001.jpg::1624::2048"
"","Dorothy Burr Thompson","Report","1958 Υ","Agora","","Section Υ: 1958 Excavation Report","Agora:Report:1958 Υ","","","3 Mar-3 May 1958","Two areas at the north foot of the Areopagus were uncovered. The first area did not yield much of interest due to modern disturbances. Excavations of a well, three pits and a water channel produced however ancients material.; In the second area the only significant ancient remains lay along the southeast side of the northerly part of the section. Some traces of the West Street running north-south with a water-channel underneath, appeared. Evidence suggest it was laid out in the early 5th c. B.C. due to the reorganization after the Persian Wars. The water channel probably went out of use after the Herulian destruction.; Scanty remains of some houses were excavated: the South House, the North House, and the Southeast Houses (I and II) which was a complex of ten rooms. The investigation led to the conclusions that the houses were laid out on a city grid system with alleys dividing them, drains were constructed under the houses, and wells provided drinking water. They were modest houses and built approximately at the same time, probably shortly after 479 B.C. Some time after 300 B.C. an extensive rebuilding took place and possibly second stories were erected. Little evidence remain from late Hellenistic to late Roman period but habitation continued in the area until Byzantine times.","Checked","Agora:ReportPage:1958-Υ-1::/Agora/Reports/1958 Υ/1958 Υ 001.jpg::1589::2048"
