Περιγραφή του πεδίου:

On-going excavations at Sikyon under the auspices of the Archaeological Society of Athens continue this summer by targeting two areas, the West Stoa and a central room of the Roman bath complex. The West Stoa, an important monument of the ancient city measuring ca. 43 x 21.5 m, was built in the early 3rd century BCE. The northern part of this stoa came to light during our recent excavations, but its central and southern parts are either buried or lie exposed as a result of piecemeal digging conducted in the 1930s.

We aim at excavating the rest of it, which extends over an approximate surface of 800 m2, in order to uncover the entirety of this building, and to acquire more data concerning its architecture, use and date. Excavation of one room of the Roman bath, the limits of which are known thanks to the standing walls and the results of the recent geophysical prospection, will help us to date this large complex and to identify its different phases. The surface area of the room under excavation comes to 70 m2.
