In the plain of Leivithra in 1997 began the excavation work on the ancient winery Kompoloi [1]. They lasted (intermittently) until October 2000 [1]. The building was erected in the middle of the 4th century BC and used until the beginning of the 3rd century BC; then it was destroyed by a fire and abandoned by its inhabitants [1]. It has a floor area of around 1350 m2 and was built on an existing vineyard [1]. The excavated building had 17 rooms [1]. Next to the southern entrance was a well and an oven [1]. Clay pots, pithoi, in which the wine was stored were buried in the ground [1]. In total, 32 of these vessels were found [1].
