Phylakopi Excavation 1896-1899: Season 1898
Excavation: Research excavation
In the third season of work at Phylakopi, members of the British School at Athens resumed work and determined the limits of the city on south and east, and digging test trenches to obtain a relative chronology. They proceeded to open out the great barrack- like structures on the north and west. Remains of three settlements were determined, divided by layers of debris, the middle and lower ones being singularly well preserved. The best rooms were on the higher ground to the west. The blocks were divided by narrow lanes with covered drains down the centre. In the two lower settlements was found a mass of pottery, and almost as many vessels, complete or but little broken, as in a large cemetery.
Active from 11/04/1898 to 26/05/1898.
