Name: | Irrigation Channel Excavations | |
Description: | An irrigation channel was built to carry water from Lake Stymphalus to the Isthmus of Corinth in the mid 1960’s. In the course of excavating the channel several Roman tombs were found at the edge of the lower of the two terraces on which Ancient Corinth stood. The American School was invited to dig the seven chamber tombs and about 65 individual graves found. Their dates range from the late 1st century B.C. to the 6th century A.D. | |
