Dean Chase Comments On Find On Athens Agora Site

armed, and wearing a breastplate decorated in high relief with symbolical figures, was discovered fallen into a massive water channel which runs down the center of the agora, and is covered, by large slabs. The statue, however, is so large that is is believed that it fell where it stood, and as it is too risky to move the new find, the statue will remain where it is until the house above it has been torn down.

As this statue was said by Pausanias to stand in front of the Stoa of Zeus, the topography of the agora has been pretty well defined, and the main street that ran through it located.

Thousands of bronze coins of all periods have been collected, which are now being cleaned by the electrolysis process, and several lamps, one of which had 12 nozzles for wicks, were found.
