Abstract

The apoikia at Naxos in north-eastern Sicily is the earliest Greek settlement on the island. This paper presents a preliminary publication of a Classical well excavated at Naxos in 2015–2016 and some of the discovered finds. Previously, only a single well had been excavated inside the city walls. Also, systematic sampling for organic remains was carried out as part of the project for the first time at Naxos. A deposit from the bottom of the well is discussed here more in detail, especially concentrating on a set of astragals and intentionally punctured pottery. A hypothesis for the deposition occasion is also presented.
