| Title: | Investigations in the Area of the Tholos 1937 | |
| Author: | Homer A. Thompson | |
| Abstract: | An overview of the work carried out in the area of the Tholos in 1937. The 6th century B.C. accumulation was stripped away revealing a complex of foundation walls, of limestone polygonal construction, of private houses. The Tholos seems to have been erected over the ruins of those houses. Black-figured pottery found in the debris overlying the floors of the earlier houses provide a terminus post quem for the earliest Tholos. The building suffered greatly by Sylla's invasion in 86 B.C and the subsequent reconstruction altered the area and Tholos. | |
