Modern Description: Excavated by Konstantinos Romaios in 1909-10 on the hilltop of Agios Sostis NW of Tegea, this modest sanctuary (now lost) was identified with the temple of Karpophoroi (fruit-bearing) Demeter and Kore at Tegea. In a 2-meter void in the rock, Romaios found thousands of votives of the archaic through hellenistic periods, including interesting votive bronzes relative to female divinities.
