Annotations

The sanctuar dedicated to Atehena surrounded by Archaic walls, is located in the western corner of the acropolis.  Some Attic ceramics, some with graffiti, dating back to the Archaic Period and 5th century BC, and numerous miniature lekythos temples painted in the red figure technique were found in the fill of the naos foundations.
