Archaeologists uncovered ancient findings dating back to the Greek era during excavations at Sheikh Saad site in Daraa, southern Syria.

The excavations unearthed a residential place consisting of four rooms, a warehouse and an ancient drainage channel with some parts covered by flagstones.

''15 small-sized coins, which were not identified for being oxidized, were also discovered, and cleaning is underway to define the era that they belong to,'' Director of Daraa Ruins Department Hussein Mashhadawi said.

He added that the archaeological mission also discovered nice-shaped and skillfully-made earthenware pieces at the same site.

Two coins belonging to the Roman era that date back to 1255 C.E., and another one dating back to the same era were also discovered at Tal al-Ashari site, Mashhadawi said.

Also at Tal al-Ashari, some metals, mortars, pestles, broken tobacco pipes and a number of earthenware and glass pieces dating back to the Ottoman era were unearthed.

Earlier, the archaeological excavations at Sheikh Saad site last season led to uncovering the remaining parts of the Roman Temple. (ASNA)
