Description
Thasos. Area N of the Artemision. A. Muller (EfA/ Lille 3), F. Blondé (EfA/CNRS) and S. Dadaki (12th EBA) report on a study season following the 2006 excavations. The identification of Tunisian amphorae (Fig. 1) and a few sherds of Egyptian amphorae enhance the picture of Thasian external relations during EByz times. Many imprecisely datable forms existed around the last quarter of the 6th and the 1st quarter of the 7th Ct AD: the abundant material of the last phase of the villa will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of EByz ceramics.
The resumption of excavation in 2006 provided the opportunity to locate more precisely the ‘monastery’ unearthed in 1911 N of the Artemision. A plan of all known parts of this ‘monastery’, on the same orientation as the nearby EByz villa, was made on the basis of old photographs and visible remains. Identification of the building, which currently rests on the presence of a church and perhaps also on the fact that the land was a dependency of the Pantocrator of Athos, might be firmly established after further fieldwork.
