Modern Description: Nothing visible? On spur 361, above the Agriliki rubble fort, Soteriades discovered an altar in 1933. Digging there in 1935 (Praktika [1935 155) he reports finding a great deal of ash mixed with burnt bones of animals. In the ash and scattered over a wide area round about he found many fragments of miniature, vases, mostly of Geometric times but some of later Classical times showing that the altar was in use during the whole of the first millennium before Christ. (Vanderpool 1966)
