Pyrgouthi, Prosymni
During the second half of the 6th century BC, a farmhouse was built in Pyrgouthi, in the Berbati Valley, which incorporated the ruins of the Hellenistic tower which was already on the site. The remodelled tower was used for the production and storage of wine, as demonstrated by the winepress and the storage spaces, which contained large amphora and pithos jars.
The residents of the farmhouse were also involved in animal farming, cultivation, and trade. The pottery was mostly locally produced, some examples though, from the Aegean region and Asia Minor, show that the area had relations with a local trade network, most likely through neighbouring Corinth.
Somewhere around the 7th century AD, the farmhouse was destroyed by fire. The roof collapsed and the tiles covered the contents of the farmhouse allowing them to remain intact to the present day.
