Name: | South Stoa west | |
Description: | The Stele Shrine includes a square-shaped temenos enclosed by a wall, established in the mid-6th century B.C. Inside the temenos, a stele, evidence of burnt offerings, and an offering table are indications of ritual, perhaps in honor of a local hero. In the later 4th century B.C., the east end of the shrine was destroyed by the construction of the South Stoa, but the use of the shrine continued in an irregular shape, using the stoa wall as a new boundary, until the end of the 3rd century B.C. or later. | |
