| Material Culture | Ayios Ioannis Church (TP039) - ashlar wall approximately 10m long and 4 courses high. Little pottery is present on ground surface although some found in walls with mortar. SU0365, SU0366 - block survey of this field. Abundant pithos and few tiles found. Pithos to hold wine? Interesting range of Ott-Mod forms and functions. |
| Description SIA | SIA is the general interest area that incorporates the area of Ayios Ioannis Church and area of block survey to the south. This area was off transect but survey of field chosen for visibility. Walls in SU0365, SU0366 thought to be terraces but it seems more likely that they are the walls of a dwelling. Material is characteristic of a settlement - perhaps a predecessor of the Asinou settlement on the hill. Khalospitiaes means ruined houses. |
