ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

The remains of an agrarian and stock farming settlement of the 3rd millennium BC have been unearthed at Litharés of Boeotia. The nucleus of the settlement has been excavated; the settlement developed on either side of straight road, as did the cemetery, which contained fifty graves. The quality and abundance of movable finds discovered in the settlement reveal the varied nature of the inhabitant’s everyday activities, and suggest the existence of specialized craftsmen and the community’s participation in the networks of contacts and exchanges that developed during this period between settlements in the Aegean islands and the mainland.
