Abstract:
This paper deals with some sherds discovered at Karabournaki (in the area of modern Thessalonike) on the Thermaic Gulf. They come from Mycenaean, Sub Mycenaean, Protogeometric and Attic Geometric pots and constitute the first evidence of Attic products in both the N. Aegean and the Black Sea. Some of them belong to Geometric vases made in other workshops, mainly Ionian and Ionizing. Among the sherds of the 7th century B.C., the Bird Bowl Class sherds are very significant, while the sherds of Ionic, Chian, Samian, Corinthian and Attic vases ofthe 6th century B.C. are also very important. Some sherds come from Attic vases made in the workshops of the Gorgon painter and that of Lydos. The data imply that Attic vases monopolized the local market of the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. These significant sherds, found together with others from local vases, stimulated me to deal with the problem of the location of ancient Therme. I have already supported the group of scholars who locate the ancient city at the site of modern Karabournaki. This theory is further reinforced by the above presentation of thesherds from that area, whose quality and quantity in the surrounding areas remain unknown. Other arguments also support the same theory.
