- Abstract
- Between 2019 and 2025, an Early iron Age building was excavated on the southeastern slopes of the Velatouri Hill at Thorikos. At least three phases could be distinguished, the last one ending in a destruction by fire that left part of the domestic ceramic inventory in situ. In the second phase, the building consisted of a central one-room building (Room C) connected to a courtyard area (Rooms A and D); Room D became a sort of shed in the third phase. The chronology on the basis of the painted pottery styles runs from Late Protogeometric to early Middle Geometric I on the basis of partial study of the finds. Plan, function and construction techniques are discussed in relation to current knowledge of the period in Attica and with an outlook to further analyses that are underway.
