Modern Description: Beside/under the church of Ag. Paraskevi in the E part of Amikles village, ex-Mahmoud-Bey, thousands of votive offerings were recovered from two huge votive deposits, material dating from the Geometric through early Hellenistic period, probably from the shrine of Agamemnon and Alexandra/Kassandra reported by Pausanias. Probably nothing visible. Finds in the Sparta museum. See Gina Salapata, Heroic Offerings: The Terracotta Plaques from the Spartan Sanctuary of Agamemnon and Kassandra (U Michigan 2014)
