SKALA AETOU, Filiates - 2007

Skala Aetou, Filiates. The ΛΒ’ ΕΠΚΑ reports the discovery of a settlement occupied continuously from the ninth at least until the end of the fourth century BC. During the oldest settlement phase, oval buildings were erected on the slope of the hill, very close together and on a common orientation. Before the fourth century, the pottery consisted of local handmade wares, with some fifth-century imports. A large quantity of storage vessels reflects the community’s reliance on cultivation of the plain which extends below the hill.
