SEASON 2006

in collaboration with
Ewdoksia Papuci-Wladyka and Stanislaw Medeksza

The excavation season started on 31 August and lasted until 30 September 2006.1 The
work was concentrated in two areas, the so-called Hellenistic House, immediately south of
the Villa of Theseus and the House of Aion. In the Hellenistic House, research was carried
out in rooms numbered 9E, 10E, 14, 13, 16, 17, 18 and 19■ The excavation in the House
of Aion (HA) continued the work started in 2003 in the northern part of the building. Of
the two sectors explored, one was located on the northern continuation of a courtyard (no. 27)
with the expected rooms being found, no. 28 on the east and nos 29 and 31 on the west. These
rooms have been deeply disturbed by a huge modern trench, removing walls, mosaic floors and
the western part of a stone pavement. The other sector, further west in Rooms 12E, 12W and
33, proved better preserved and of greater interest.
