that differences in wealth were not visible from the outside of Classical houses. According to her, this resulted from a prejudice against the projection of economic distinctions between households, while differences in the interior were a different matter( Westgate 2007, 239). As is known from Olynthos’ material record, some houses were decorated with mosaic floors or enlarged by expanding into parts of neighbouring houses. However, equality could have been the basis for the construction of the North Hill’ s housing district.
Micro-scale analysis: doorways The micro-scale system counts 97 front doors: 70 single doors of little over a meter wide( 72.2 percent) and 27 double doors of about two meters width( 27.8 percent). There are also 18 examples of a more elaborate form of the exterior doorway,

the prothyron. This doorway is created by placing the actual entrance( s) maximum two meters inwards of the door aperture in the outer walls of the house. Prothyra create an extra, more private, space by distancing the door from the streetscape, while all other entrances in Olynthos are directly connected to the street( Nevett 2009, 80). To investigate whether doorways on certain streets are preferred over others, the analysis looks at the 18 corner houses of the housing blocks, as only these houses were surrounded by more than one street( fig. 3). Out of the 45 doorways, 31 are located on an avenue( 68.9 percent) and 14 on a street( 31.1 percent).
The analysis of doorway occurrences reveals that the lowest value of 6.188 is attributed to Avenue A3( tab. 2). The highest value is attributed to the eastern segment of Street VII and measures p. 40 | VOL II | INTER-SECTION | 2016
