EMPORION PISTIROS (Zofia Archibald – z.archibald@liverpool.ac.uk) A small number of finds and structures of Phase 1 of Pistiros (430 – 370 BC) were discovered in Trenches D19/24. Parts of two rooms of a house were documented. The finds included fragments from painted plaster, sherds, metal objects, including jewelry, and loom weights. Animal bones and sherds, including from amphorae, were found in Trench B21 located to the south of the main street close to the fortification wall. A hearth, containing ash, charcoal, iron and small glass bolls, indicating metallurgical activities, was documented under the debris from the fortification wall. According to the osteological analysis, the animal bones from Trenches D19/21 and B21 belonged to mammals, birds and fishes.
