Archaeological Site of Kerameikos at Figareto (Closed for the public)

  The archaeological site is situated in the modern quarter of Figareto at Kanoni, which in antiquity was the workshop area of the city. Systematic investigation of the site has proved that the pottery workshop of Kerameikos actually produced the Kerkyraean amphoras (regarded formerly as Corinthian), as well as figurines and all the necessary clay household equipment.

  The most important monuments of the site are:
  • Eleven pottery kilns, dating from the end of the late Archaic period until early Roman times.
  • Well with a clay pipe and basins for washing the clay.
  • Deposits of amphoras dated from the Classical until the Hellenistic period.
  • Deposit of figurines.
  • Deposit of moulds.
  • Sanctuary of the workshop. Inside the sanctuary, an Archaic female stone statue was found, probably identified as Artemis Epiklivania (of the kilns).
