"Checked","","Finds from Section Ψ span from Turkish down to the Neolithic and Geometric times. Several wells and cisterns from various periods were found and explored. The most extensive remains in the section belong to a building of the late Roman period.","Section Ψ Season of 1938","Agora:Report:1938 Ψ","24 Jan-18 Jun 1938","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1938-Ψ-1::/Agora/Reports/1938 Ψ/1938 Ψ 001.jpg::1577::2048","Eugene Vanderpool","1938 Ψ","","Report",""
"","","Section Ω lies in the east end of the north slope of the Areopagus, well to the southeast of the market square proper. Excavation showed, as expected, that the area was a residential district throughout antiquity. ; A few sherds of prehistoric date was found but there were no definite sign of habitation before the end of the 6th century B.C. By that time however, there was a street running diagonally up through the section, and remains of buildings, wells, cisterns, etc. from that period and onwards were found. Not until the end of the 4th or early 5th century A.D. are there any traces of buildings other than private houses. Part of the area was covered by a mass of destruction debris from the 7th or 8th century A.D., and it was probably not built up in Byzantine times; the Turkish and modern houses rested directly on the late Roman fill at the north and southeast, on Classical and Hellenistic in the center, and on bedrock in the southwest.","Section Ω 1938","Agora:Report:1938 Ω","16 Jan-17 Jun 1938","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1938-Ω-1::/Agora/Reports/1938 Ω/1938 Ω 001.jpg::1575::2048","M.

"Checked","","Byzantine settlements in Sections Η and Ρ were removed and the foundations of the Temple of Ares exposed.; The most noticeable feature was the road serving as the main thoroughfare in the neighborhood from the earliest Byzantine times until present days. A vast amount of road filling was removed as well as a series of rooms. In earlier times this section formed an open area around the Temple of Ares. None of the superstructure of the temple is preserved in situ, but several fragments were found built into late walls or in otherwise unimportant fills. These fragments show that the temple was from the 5th c. B.C. and moved to the Agora in the early Imperial times. Parts of the foundations, together with cuttings for the complete rectangular outline of the temple, are well preserved.","Sections Rho and Eta 1937","Agora:Report:1937 Excavations Η, Ρ","24 Feb 1937","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1937-Excavations-Η,-Ρ-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 Excavations Η, Ρ/1937 Excavations Η, Ρ 001.jpg::1554::2048","James H.

"Checked","","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.","Investigations in the Area of the Tholos 1937","Agora:Report:1937 Tholos","5 Apr 1937-21 Jul 1947","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1937-Tholos-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 Tholos/1937 Tholos 001.jpg::1553::2048","Homer A.

"Checked","","Excavations in Section ΛΛ revealed that the original contour of Kolonos Agoraios had been much sharper than in modern times. No traces of early graves were found in the area; first sign of habitation is pottery from the last half of the 5th century B.C. found in metal working pits in connection with  a drain and a road. The best preserved material belongs to the 4th century B.C. The area was probably covered with houses of which five establishments were well preserved, several others less preserved.; In the early 3rd century the easternmost houses went out of use to leave space for the Hellenistic Building.; In the early Roman period a filling of large sherds covered most of the area, probably due to the general building activity of that period. In section ΛΛ, a great stair was constructed.; In the late 4th century A.D. the area suffered much damage.; In the Byzantine period blocks of houses were set over the whole area, and this settlement, when combined with those of ΜΜ and ΚΚ, present interesting material for the study of medieval Athens.","Section ΛΛ 193; Excavation Summary","Agora:Report:1937 ΛΛ","1 Feb-23 Jun 1937","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1937-ΛΛ-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 ΛΛ/1937 ΛΛ 001.jpg::1587::2048","Dorothy Burr Thompson","1937 ΛΛ","","Report",""
"Checked","","Report on the excavation in the northern end of Section Ν, which started at Byzantine level and went down to the first classical level. A strip of the Byzantine and Vandal road was the largest area exposed. A late room with a trough was excavated, and a wall complex related to the Odeion, examined. Classical strosis in various places were cleared.","Section Ν 1937","Agora:Report:1937 Ν","25 Jan-30 Mar 1937","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1937-Ν-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 Ν/1937 Ν 001.jpg::1587::2048","R.H.

"Checked","","Section Υ had suffered from modern leveling operations and in some parts there were no visible antiquities. In the southeast corner were traces of Proto-Geometric grave cuttings. Excavation revealed the foundations of a large rectangular structure, probably the court of a Byzantine house still beneath modern houses. In one corner of the court was a well and a trough. The well was excavated and objects from Byzantine and Roman periods were found. In addition, a Hellenistic chamber cistern was dug and amongst the finds were several stamped amphora handles. A rectangular stone structure turned out to be a Byzantine tomb containing thirteen skeletons. Through the section runs a drain which probably went out of use in time of the Herulian intrusion. At the north end the drain was cut in an ancient road fill and probably the ancient street originally ran over the drain for the whole length of its course. Beside the road, parts of two ancient retaining walls are preserved. A skeleton, probably a victim of the Greek War of Independence, was uncovered. Finally, seven more wells and one more cistern were dug.","Section Υ; 1937 Excavation Summary","Agora:Report:1937 Υ","1 Oct 1936-24 Apr 1937","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1937-Υ-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 Υ/1937 Υ 001.jpg::1624::2048","Rodney S.

"Checked","","In antiquity the area included in Section Φ lay outside the Agora proper and were apparently occupied only by houses and small buildings. The earliest period of which any considerable remains were found was the Geometric: three Protogeometic graves and one well, as well as one Geometric grave and one disturbed well, were discovered and excavated.; Pottery from the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 6th century B.C. were found in a small hollow in the bedrock. A big well was excavated and black-figured and red-figured pottery was found. Some of the objects from the well belong to the early years of the 5th century B.C. ; In the northeast corner fragments of terracotta water pipes were found, some in situ, dating from the late 6th or the 5th century B.C.. A small building with polygonal limestone walls were cleared, its purpose uncertain. It was built in the early 4th century B.C. and continued in use until the end of the 2nd century B.C.; Remains of the Hellenistic period are few. From the Roman period a house was partly cleared. It was destroyed in the late 3rd century A.D. Two Roman wells were excavated, as well as a late Roman tomb. A late Roman building covered almost the whole section and was probably part of the great complex of late Roman buildings that covered most of the center of the Agora. The most prominent feature is an apse. The building was destroyed in the 6th century A.D.; Numerous traces of dark age habitation were found, but few from the Byzantine period, and some from the Turkish period.","Section Φ Season of 1937","Agora:Report:1937 Φ","25 Jan-17 Jun 1937","","Agora","Agora:ReportPage:1937-Φ-1::/Agora/Reports/1937 Φ/1937 Φ 001.jpg::1555::2048","Eugene Vanderpool","1937 Φ","","Report",""
