Summary (English)

  • AGATHOPOLIS (Diana Gergova – dianagergova@gmail.com) Sifting of the soil from the strata destroyed during the building activities in 2009 continued. The finds included sherds from Thracian pottery, Megarian bowls, Late Antique, Mediaeval and Late Mediaeval pottery, terracotta loom weights, a bronze spoon for communion, a Mediaeval bronze finger-ring, a Mediaeval lead seal and bronze appliqués. Two gilded tesserae from mosaics were found, indicating the existence of an Early Christian basilica. The column discovered nearby and the marble architectural decoration of an Early Christian basilica, kept in the museum collection of the Greek School, probably originated from this particular church. Nine coins from the Late Hellenistic period to the Middle Ages were also found.
