Title: Early Christian warehouse near the small chapel of Aghios Nikolaos, Agathonissi island
Start date: 300
End date: 699
Historical Period: Early Byzantine/Late Antique Period
Description: 

Rectangular building with seven rooms covered by arched roofs (25x23 m, orientation NW); the walls are built of rough masonry covered in the interior with plaster; the floors are paved with stones or pebbles; on the arched roofs and the interior walls clay pipes are attached; a Christian graffito is preserved on the wall stucco, reading ΘΕΑΒΩΝΟΣ ΥΙΟΥ IC NK together with a christogram. The plan of the building and its special features suggest a warehouse (granary?). We should not exclude the possibility that the building functioned as an agrarian house, possibly with a private bath attached to it.
