Prehistoric settlements found in Greece
Boston Globe ^ | November 28, 2005 | AP

Posted on 11/29/2005 3:42:27 PM PST by SunkenCiv

Archaeologists in northern Greece have uncovered traces of two prehistoric farming settlements dating back as early as 6,000 B.C... The first site, located on a plot earmarked for coal mining by Greece's Public Power Corporation, yielded five human burials, as well as artifacts including clay figurines of humans and animals, sealstones, pottery and stone tools... [T]he one-acre site near Ptolemaida, some 330 miles northwest of Athens, had been inhabited for a short period during the early Neolithic era -- between 6000 and 5500 B.C... Some 25 Neolithic settlements have been discovered in the area... [A] second, smaller site, also dating between 6000-5500 B.C., was excavated near Grevena, some 260 miles northwest of Athens. Archaeologists found a number of rare figurines in the settlement, which contained a workshop for producing stone tools. The first traces of human settlement in Greece date to at least 40,000 B.C.
