Sparta Roman Stoa Excavation 1989-1991

Fieldwork:

From details of design and technique, the date of construction is likely to have been the 2nd cent. AD. The original decor of the two compartments consisted of high-quality marble revetment, in a variety of colours, and a floor of marble slabs. All of this had been robbed. The period of the original stoa was dated to the Hellenistic period. After being stripped of marble the eastern end may have served as a Middle Byzantine cistern. The south eastern end of the stoa was incorporated into another building, probably a church, associated with this area were some human remains. The western end of the stoa seems to have been used in middle Byzantine housing.

Active from 1989 to 1991.
