MAREA. SIXTH SEASON OF EXCAVATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the sixth season of Polish excavations at Marea was to continue the excavations in the basilical church, started in the previous two campaigns. These were completed in three areas of the church: – eastern part, where further sections of the nave and north aisle were unearthed; – latrine and two rooms contiguous to the north wall of the basilica; – area by the southwestern corner of the church, where the exploration of adjacent room 9 was completed. The clearing of the side aisle and nave commenced in order to locate the colonnade that separated the two areas. Building conservation works were performed in order to reinforce the wall under the steps leading to the apse and two walls of the two crypts in the apse were consolidated. In addition, coins from the previous season and part of this year's finds underwent cleaning and conservation.
