| Summary | Roman slag heap and pottery, field walls, pre-modern church |
| Period | ROM MM |
| Environment | Two types of geology: Pillow lavas on the hill slope and an alluvial plain at the bottom of the hillslope running from S to N. River terrace with a river at W site running at the bottom of the hill creating a fairly deep gully with lots of vegetation around it. The land is still used for olive groves but some of it is fallow. There is a good amount of irrigation (water channels). Most importantly it is clear that the river is quite wet still. |

| Material Culture | Pottery fields starting from 200m N of the slag heap to 400m S of it, on the alluvial plain. In addition, in this area (S) there is not really much tile. Pottery numbers seem to be going down towards the S end of the alluvial plain. In the centre on the other hand, tile is more abundant. Pottery collected, mainly Late Roman and Modern. |
| Description SIA | TP006: Slag heap. Large square fields, dense material (especially between the outcrop of pillow lavas and slag heap). On the top of the pillow lava outcrop ('Rock of Ayios Kyriakos'; TP017), there is a small buried structure; wall with pithos remains on top of it; it seems that somebody has dug a hole at its S side. Intensive block survey across SIA in small SUs, and across river; recorded section of slag heap; mapped of terrace walls and field walls; gridded TP104; lots of photographs. |
