Description
Vasilis (Ennipea). G. Toufexis (ΙΕ' ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery, in the course of laying a gas-pipe outside the village of Vasilis, of a LNeo settlement. This was occupied through the first half of the 5th millennium BC before being destroyed by fire: there are also traces of fire in earlier phases of the settlement, which have yet to be investigated. Houses are constructed both in the wattle-and-daub technique (noting that the burnt mud-plaster preserved impressions of the wood) and in mud-brick, and have clay roofs. The settlement contains clay ovens set in open spaces, much pottery including excellent examples of decorated wares, stone grinding and cutting tools, a few terracotta figurines and loomweights indicating the weaving of wool. The site was reused in the Hel period (3rdCt): 15 tombs were found (cists, pits and free burials), containing no grave goods.
