Finds From Two Sondages on the South-East Velatouri (Thorikos)

Abstract

The two small sondages that were dug on the lower south-east slopes of the Velatouri in 2013 2 yielded the remarkably low number of 602 finds (apart from shells 3 ), even though the soil from all contexts was systematically sieved: 159 in sondage 1 (macrosquare M2) and 443 in sondage 2 (macrosquare M3). 'Remarkably low' has to be understood in the face of the high numbers of surface finds that turned up in the area during the intrasite survey of 2012-2015. Especially in the adjacent survey square 124 (macrosquare L3) that was resurveyed every year between 2012 and 2015, surface finds kept turning up. What follows is a catalogue of the finds: we have opted for full presentation instead of publishing diagnostic fragments only (as was customary in previous *
