Abstract:
In 1973 two neolithic sites ( Ο I and O II ) were discovered near the village of Ombriaki, on the banks of the lake Xynias, which dried up some years ago (fig. 1 ). In earlier times the whole area was under water and the deposits are very thin. The complete absence of stone shows that the houses of the settlement were not made of stone.The pottery and other finds, cited below, show that our settlement flourished during the early phase of Middle Neolithicand that from its beginning the neolithic civilisation of Thessaly spread out to Central Greece and to regions as yet unknown.Pottery1. Coarse or semicoarse ware : The sherds consist of grey biscuit (figs. 2-5, pis. 1 - 4 ). Sometimes are covered by a very thin slip and they are polished. They were found at the site Ο I.2. Black and red burnished ( site Ο I - Ο II ) : These sherds belong to glaze (figs. 6-8, pis. 5-11).3. Incised ware : It has been found in abundance at the site Ο II (figs. 11 - 12 ). In this tehnique the vase is divided in bands with dots between. Sometimes we see painted and incised decoration on the same vase.4. Red on white painted pottery (figs. 9, 10, pis. 12, 13) : A lot of sherds belong to bowls or cups with thin walls or to closed vases with vertical handles. The surface has a white slipand red patterns : triangles, parallel lines, lozenges etc. (pi. 15). This kind of decoration is derived from textiles and embroidery.5. Scraped ware (fig. 13).Stone implements and miscellaneous objects.Both the sites are characterized by the lack of obsidian, while flint is found in abundance (fig. 16). There are also stone axes (fig. 14), loom weights (fig. 15, pi. 17) and many other stone and clay implements.
