This was followed in the summer of 2011 by a season of excavations that brought to light large quantities of pottery and small finds that were part of an Early Iron Age sacrificial deposit, a small building for sacrificial feasting located within the perimeter of the sanctuary and dating to the late Classical period, and part of a building that was used for the storage of amphoras of roughly the same chronological phase. A first step was made with the systematic study of the thousands of Early Iron Age sherds, and geo-archaeological research was conducted in two areas to the south-west and north-east of the site in order to reconstruct the landscape formation processes of the coastal area. |
