added by archaeologs An important Neolithic settlement site in central Greece, with the most complete stratified sequence of Greek Neolithic pottery deposits for the region. Radiocarbon dates place its beginnings c 5500 BC. A series of pottery styles has been recognized, starting with undecorated dark and light-surfaced wares, later replaced by black polished and polychrome painted wares. Certain coal-scuttle shaped vessels on four legs, presumably for ritual use, show connections with the Danilo culture of Yugoslavia. Rectangular houses were built of timber with earthen floors.
