Parallel Title:
Excavations at Karabournaki in 2003 : the archaic settlement
Abstract:
Lack of funding severely restricted the university-run excavation of the Archaic settlement in 2003. A total of six trenches at the top of the mound were investigated, only one of which was new (23-13γ), the others having been dug in earlier seasons.We continued to uncover habitation remains of the Archaic period (7th-6th cc. BC). Especially significant was the discovery that the sealed find of Geometric pottery uncovered in trench 23-13β during the 2002 excavation period extends underneath what is probably an Archaic building. Trench 23-12a yielded a semisubterranean beehive structure, which, however, is clearly smaller than the earlier known structures of this kind and may have served a different purpose.A considerable quantity of pottery came to light, reflecting the large number of pottery workshops represented in the Archaic settlement at Karabournaki. Also characteristic is the chronological spread of the ceramic material, which spans the period from the 9th to the 5th century BC. However, the majority dates to the Archaic period, though the Geometric period is also represented by some noteworthy examples.Palaeobotanical investigations have found evidence of the presence of wheat, barley, vetch, lentils, and chickpeas. Frequently present are grape pips and rape, which, together with the presence of local commercial amphoras, suggests that wine was made in the settlement.Lastly, in association with the Institute for Cultural and Educational Technology in Xanthi, the process of digitalising the excavation has begun with the creation of a multimedia database into which all the excavational material (immovable and portable finds) is now being entered.
