 second part of our session with Alexandros Mazarikis and Jan, who is talking about telepractices in our 8-hour course. It's a question. It's a question, as you can see. Many of you might know, but perhaps this is the best place to discuss such problems. Because from my problem concerning oral posts, which I wanted to discuss here in this conference, is despite the fact that we have excavated an extensive area of 1600 square meters with 40 buildings of the early Iron Age, there is no clear evidence for some public cult practice or activities within the area we excavated, which is a bit peculiar. But there is evidence for different types of cult practices, and I will discuss some of these. Very quickly, I want to remind that Oropos is the later name of the area mentioned first by Herodotus, but it is today, I think, begun doubt that the pre-classical site was Homeric Grea. We have discussed this elsewhere. Now, the area, as I said, excavated is quite vast, and we can reconstruct a kind of settlement which we could classify in between a combi and a dense urban plan. It is a partial occupation of land with low architectural density in between situations, though we are missing parts as some areas have not been excavated in between. There are at least six major architectural phases, as I said, 40 early Iron Age buildings and several also edifices of the archaic period, which are not mentioned here. So in a period of 60 years, roughly, we have every 10 years remodeling, reconstruction of buildings. You see here some of these phases, the second phase of the mid-eighth, the third quarter of the eighth, and then the third phase. And what we see is, I highlight them with yellow, is a brown, is that as we go in time, we see that in some areas, the highlighted areas where edifices are mentioned and shown may have been related to some sort of cult activities. These are the highlighted areas. And also in the later green phase, we have also a lot of such activity going on. We will try to clarify what kind of cult activity is this one. To get an idea about the settlement, as we can reconstruct it through these 3D reconstructions, we have various compounds, which are some of them separated or enclosed by Peripolos walls. And within the Peripoloi, there are several buildings. In the central quarter, several buildings of this kind have been excavated. And elsewhere, we have tried to reconstruct this model of Oikoi, which consists of several buildings and which could be, in one sense, compared with mostly the Homeric Oikos in the Odyssey. Within this Oikos, the Homeric Oikos, we have some hints about cult activities around an altar inside the hercos of Odysseus' house. And this could be the case. Now, to be sure that we are speaking of a settlement and not an area with cult activities, first of all, we have a lot of child burials scattered all around these buildings. Then we have evidence which is typically associated with household activities, such as a lot of loom weights and spindle rolls. We have also main traces about iron working mostly in this area and also pottery production with the presence of kilns. So it's a multifunctional area, but basically it's a settlement as the majority of the finds show. Now, let's go inside one of these compounds to see how they are arranged with various buildings. And the question which have been discussed elsewhere is what is the function of all these buildings? It seems that some of them were more important like this building Theta, which may have been either a kind of chief's house or perhaps a building housing more activities like a symposia of more communal nature due to the finds which are distinct from the rest of the buildings. It also has some metal finds which are quite rare in other contexts. But there is one edifice round Building 6 which is associated certainly with cult activities within the compound. That is a kind of small chapel with a bench at the heart in the middle which we can almost certainly identify with a sort of chapel within the family unit, I could say. Now, at the very end of this period of occupation here, we have this so-called heron as we have dubbed it which consists of various cultic areas and the kind of cenotaph, as I suggested, perhaps a person who died at sea as there is a boat model also among the smashed objects around this cenotaph with a steely. It has also a steely, as you can see, which was standing upright. This heron stands on top of these two buildings, Yota, Yota Alpha, one of which the earliest could be identified with the house of a certain Pythalimus from a very early inscription found on this stone disk. Perhaps it's either he himself Pythalimus or descendant of his who was honored in this heron when the two buildings, which were both destroyed finally. Comparison with this idea of a heron cult, of course, we can address opposite the ghost with Eretria, which has, as we know, very close ties with Oropos, cultural ties from very early times. And that is why Oropos is included in this section of sanctuaries of Yubia because of its cultural, let's say, connection with the opposite ghost rather than with Attica. So this idea of cult heroes seems to be well established in the opposite ghost, as we know by this later cult of Narcissus in the area of Oropos mentioned by Strabo. In the other area of the excavation, the west quarter, there is similar evidence for cult activities. In area one, there is one evidence very scanty about the presence of a cylindrical structure that you see here, which could have been another. It belongs to the two later phases of the place. It has two phases, the one on top of the other. You can see them clearly in the Masonry style. And it could be a kind of raised altar hollow in the middle, seeming, which can be compared with the similar structure in the Sanctuary of Apollodaph in Foros at Eretria. Further to the west in area two, there is quite intriguing evidence about cult activities within some of the buildings, within buildings 34, 35, especially, and building M, which is building 40, as you see in the plan and you see it to the right. In the end of the eighth century, there is therefore evidence for renewing of growing, let's say, activities, cultic activities, both in the central and the west quarter. And in this west quarter, we have this building, oval building M, which was provided with a stone platform upon which several phases were smashed on top. And there is evidence for burning, as these stones were widened by the fire, we believe, and also an area with a circular area perhaps for libations. There was also sort of small perfume phases, which were alongside the extremities of this platform dating to the transition of the geometric to the archaic period, like this Inokoi. This situation, we believe, represents a kind of burying after a kind of ritual where everything was smashed, burying of the building, which continued to be visible for quite a long time. And I will tell you just in a moment why we believe this. This reminds us of similar ritual activities taking place, for instance, in Kalapodin for Kida, where the late geometric temple was buried ritually in order to construct the large south temple seven, and also the much earlier situation of the ritual burial of the so-called Lefkhandi heron. So you see the situation with building M40, and the nearby building 35 is one of the largest of the settlement together with building Theta that we saw in the beginning. And there we also believe that there is evidence for some cult activities. The first phase of this building doesn't insinuate something of the kind, just weaving activities, which are, of course, different from the rest of the settlement as the study has shown. But the building 34, which follows, was in a way consecrated by sort of some ritual acts for securing it. And there were sort of sacrifices, libation sacrifices taking place around it during the seventh century, mostly in order to keep it standing. And this was the only building which seems to have continued to be standing in that area in the seventh century. But in the courtyard that was formed in front of this building, between building M and the oval building 34, there was a tabled courtyard, which yielded among other miniature cotyle, which presumably suggests some form of cult activities taking place. And while in this area, this later building may have had so-called peristyle, there is a hearth of peculiar nature, and there were a lot of also iron bits very corroded, which suggest metal finds also present in this building. These are the only areas where some form of cult activity is attested. But this is intertwined very often with normal domestic activities, and it's very difficult to separate these two activities. In the archaic period, seventh and sixth centuries, the green areas, we have a change in the form of the settlement, which changes completely. And we believe that at least in the two extremities of the settlement that I mentioned, that is the area, the central quarter, and the area two of the west quarter, there are some ongoing cult activities going into at least the seventh century, if not the sixth in the western area. So on the middle, there is a civic building of ambiguous nature, but probably not of cultic nature. What happened then? This site was abandoned due to the inundation of the end of the archaic period, as we have said in other places. And the settlement shifted from where it was and renamed and the new town of Oropos was created, some 500 meters to the east. In Oropos, the problem seems to be about the cults of classical Oropos and Hellenistic Oropos. We know very little about that. We are sure that the main cult was that of Halia, the nymph Halia, which is attested in the area, which could have some relation with the telchiness and metalworking and could be related to this earlier activities of metalworking further to the west. But then what can we say if we compare the situation of Oropos where some big witty is all over about cult activities, which seem to have a kind of more restricted nature and not a kind of public nature that is observed in other sanctuaries, in other places, which develop into sanctuaries from settlements. In one such case is the Sanctuary of Apollodaph and Foros at Eretria, where from this kind of similar cult activities, I would say, like Oropos, we develop into a much more public and clearly identifiable cult, public cult, with the construction of building to the Katompedon. Perhaps we will see this. That's why I posed the question at Marinthos, but we have to wait a few years until the earlier levels are excavated. My impression is perhaps, again, a settlement developing into a major sanctuary, but in other places, like Oropos, abandonment, sometimes earlier, sometimes later, without the acquirement of public religious building. While at Eretria and elsewhere, there are these ambiguous buildings. I can't go into details like Edifice 150, Edifice 150 at Eretria, building one at Pithecusae, this oval building of the geometric period at Vigilatur in Chimi, which reminds us of similar ambiguous situations of buildings which are related to cult activities but cannot be classified as temples, and they could serve also for habitation or for grouping kins together for practicing some cult activities or meals in common and eating and drinking. And I would conclude here by saying that perhaps what we observe at Oropos, like in other places, the ones that I just showed you and especially the area of this so-called sacred house at the academy in Athens, to take only examples from Attica, is that perhaps the cults that developed into the early archaic period mostly in Oropos seem to have some relationship with what had preceded and a trend to keep alive some memory of what had preceded, who had preceded, but in a rather family, let's say, keeping it in a rather family level. And the idea that these are memory scapes, according to this definition, like the academy or elsewhere, is perhaps the best explanation for the presence of these cults which did not develop into public cults, but perhaps would have never developed in such public cults because they were family-oriented. Thank you.
