Even during the current economic crisis in Greece, archaelogists continue to analyze findings from the past, when financing for such analyses was more than sufficient.
The excavations in Karampournaki of North Greece during 2011, that revealed the social structure and life in ancient Macedonia as well as information about the know-how of this period, are being presented from the 1st until the 3rd of March within the framework of the 25th Archaelogical Conference in Thessaloniki.
Main speaker of the event will be Mihalis Tiverios, Professor in the Department of Archaeology of the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki and head of the excavations in the Karampournaki region of Ancient Thermi in Thessaloniki.
The excavations during 2011 focused on the analysis of places excavated in the past. The study of the findings from Karabournaki, as well as the pottery as a whole, leads to a useful overview of this area of northern Greece, while through this study one can also trace how kitchen tools were constructed during the period from the 8th century B.C. until the 6th century B.C.
Finally, important information about the metallurgy of ancient Thermi has been revealed. An ancient metallurgy workshop has been examined, in which, aside from metallurgy objects, a kitchen tool has been discovered used as a vessel for the painting of the metals.
