Parallel Title:
Excavations at Karabournaki in 2004 : the archaic settlement
Abstract:
The excavation was very limited in 2004, owing to inadequate funding. Only two trenches were investigated (22-94a and 22-94β), yielding habitation remains of the ancient settlement dating mostly to the Archaic period. The investigation of section 22-94β (Figs. 1, 2) was very enlightening for the chronological sequence of the phases that have been uncovered so far, also offering an overview of these. Architectural remains survive here that relate to the pitheones of both the later and the earlier phase, as also to the older of the two semi-subterranean beehive structures.The 2004 excavation uncovered a cooking pit in section 22-94β, which contained a thick layer of burnt fill containing bones, shells, clay used to line the hearth, and a quantity of pottery. The latter dates the pit to between the end of the 8th and the first half of the 7th c. Beside this pit another was found, the finds from which show that it was a food preparation pit contemporary with the first. The pottery finds from these two pits are similar, representing mainly local Grey Ware cooking vessels, oinochoes, and eggshell kylikes, while the imported wares are mainly amphoras (Attic SOS, Corinthian, and Chian) for transporting oil and wine.The pottery (Figs. 5, 6) discovered during the 2004 excavation is similar to that found in previous years and includes local (Geometric amphoras, Iron Age vessels, Silver Ware, Eggshell Ware) and imported vessels of the Late Geometric and Subgeometric period (from Euboia, Attica, and eastern Greece) and especially of the Archaic period (from eastern Greece, Attica, Corinth, and Lakonia). The presence, again, of Cypro-Phoenician pottery (Fig. 8) in the 2004 excavation supports earlier evidence of the presence of Phoenician merchants in the area.
