Summary

A PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT IN THE WESTERN THESSALIAN PLAIN:

MAGOULA THEOFANI

M .

30

his is a presentation of a Neolithic settlement in the western Thessalian plain known as Magoula
Theofani.
The settlement has been known since the 1960s from surface surveys, in which sherds of the Late
Neolithic and Late Bronze Age had been identified. Excavation brought to light two habitation phases.
The first, dated to the Middle Neolithic, is represented by a very few architectural remains such as masses of clay. The second habitation phase, which is represented by pits, dates to the Late Neolithic.
The finds are presented by chronological periods. In addition to the pottery, tools, figurines and jewelry
are presented.
As regards the pottery, which as in all excavations comprised the majority of finds, we may observe that
the predominant vase shapes were phialai and skyphoi. The large number of sherds gives us additional
shapes, such as cups and kyathoi, as well as bases and a typical section from a vase of the fruit bowl type.
A fair number of pierced sherds demonstrates the presence of strainers and cheese-pots. The presence of
closed shapes with relatively thick and durable walls, normally not very carefully modeled or fired, was also
ascertained. The handle type that characterizes the pottery from this excavation is vertical lugs, which we
encounter in the Greek bibliography as either or . Our
interest was aroused by a lug handle with a human figure, for which we endeavor to provide a semiotic
analysis.
Finally, we conclude with an initial presentation of the Prehistoric settlements found within a maximum
radius of 10 km. from Magoula Theofani. The final paragraph of the paper forms an introduction to our next
work, which will examine the cultural interactions of Prehistoric settlements across space and time.
