| Abstract: | A summary of the second excavation season in Section ΒΚ, in the area beneath the former building at 14 St. Philip Street. The area was divided into three trenches and yielded mixed material from the Modern to Late Roman periods. Notable features from this season were walls in ΒΚ North from the Middle Byzantine period and pits from both ΒΚ West and South, the purpose and dating of which is still under investigation. The excavation followed a strategy of total collection and 100% dry sieving with flotation and phytolith samples from all the baskets. Experts sorted and examined pottery. They counted the tiles and kept a sample. Aerial and ground photogrammetry were conducted on a regular basis. The study of the ancient DNA from burials in the Agora was resumed. | |
