AgRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN HELLENISTIC gREECE 191
tools, loom weights, mortars, arrowheads, jewellery and coins. Also of note
are the large number of basins with unusual incisions (some of them have
spouts), mainly found in the stoa north of the building. The storage area mea-
sured 19.5 by 19.5 m and the room was devoid of other items, containing
only pithoi and collapsed building remains. Twenty-two pithoi of various sizes
were found, of which many were very large with an estimated volume of
2,200–2,300 litres. Several had letters incised on the rims (most of them bore
the letters ‘KO’), possibly indicating the nature of the stored product. A total
of thirty-two pithoi were found at the site (Poulaki, Mourati and Margaritis
forthcoming).
Several structures and activity areas have been found outside the com-plex: hearths, roofed stoa in the north of the building, a carefully constructed
well, many pithoi located in roofed areas, and a series of parallel ditches imme-
diately south of the living quarters. An enclosure was also excavated, west of
the storage area.
