Description
Methone. Discoveries made by M. Besios (ΚΖ' ΕΠΚΑ) at this Eretrian colony are summarised, including Ar monumental structures and probably the agora. Earlier occupation (LNeo−BA) is also noted, with decorated Myc fine pottery as well as glass, bronze and terracotta jewellery. Evidence for trading activities centred on the harbour is emphasized. A large basement storage area for wine awaiting shipment has been discovered: there is an exceptionally large collection of amphorae and other ceramic finds. Evidence for manufacturing demonstrates ivory and bone working, and the production of metal jewellery using stone moulds. Upper strata have produced bronze arrowheads linked to the siege laid by Philip II in 354 BC.
