Summary (English)

  • The 2002 excavations were carried out on two locations in two campaigns. In square R18/19 on the Southern Terrace the Iron Age layers were excavated to the bedrock. The excavation of the fourth room of the Stoa was also finished so that the conservation work started in 2001 could continue. Parts of a later building from the Hellenistic period were discovered, in which parts of several marble sculptures were discovered, besides pottery. North of the fourth room of the Stoa, there were several rooms belonging to a late Hellenistic building (2nd -1st cent. BC). During the second campaign, the adjoining Building B was discovered at the northeast corner of the Stoa. An interesting discovery was a hoard of bronze coins of Phillip II and Alexander III found on the badly preserved mortar floor.
    On the Eastern Terrace work was carried out on a larger area, where parts from three houses were discovered (The House with a Sanctuary, The House with an Atrium and The House of the Collector), along with parts of the streets that separate them and a drain along one of the streets. In the first house, the most interesting room was the one with a bench pedestal made of terracotta roof tiles, where the domestic altar was. An abundance of finds belonging to the two latest building phases was discovered in the House with an Atrium, most of which was unearthed during the 1999 season. Also, in this season the uncovering of the inner courtyard with pithoi and parts of Room 1 of the House of the Collector started. The coins and the rest of the artifacts date the houses to 2nd cent. BC-1st cent. AD.
