Report
Ano Balana, unnamed farm road (property of DIAKAKIS AEBEE). D. N. Christodoulou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports that excavation in 1999-2001 revealed more of the prehistoric settlement previously found to the east of this plot. Beneath a surface layer containing Classical and prehistoric sherds and a few stone tools, remains of the prehistoric settlement appeared in the next layer. These comprise 13 walls and paved surfaces related to them, and many tools, among the portable finds. Excavation stopped at a depth of 0.7m. Much pottery of the later phase of Early Neolithic was recovered, as well as stone tools, chisels and grinders, and much obsidian and flint.
