Several ancient artifacts have been found near a church in Corinth, southern Greece, where there were traces of illegal excavations, authorities said on Wednesday.
They include a stone tombstone of the classical period (480-300 BC), a stone relief probably from the Hellenistic or Roman period, a marble head and part of a column.
The Attica police's Department of Cultural Heritage and Antiquities located the relics after acting on a tip-off, while a local expert opined that they fall within the provisions of the Antiquities Protection Law.
They have been taken for a final assessment to the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Sikyon.
