PARADISSOS (Village) KAVALA
Paradeisos in Aegean Thrace
The site was excavated for one month in 1976. It has an important
strategic position on the right bank of the river Nestos (see map). Nestos today
forms the border between eastern Macedonia and Thrace. Surface finds had indicated
that the periods represented at the site were the Late Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
The 1.7 m deep stratigraphical sequence belongs to the Late Neolithic period,
however. Graphite painted pottery dominates.
Both the archaeological finds and the radicarbon dates demonstrate
that the site is contemporary with Sitagroi III: radicarbon dates 4995?5825 b.p.
or the 5th millennium BC.
The results were published as Hellstrom, P., Johnson, J., Larje, R.,
Reese, D. & Blennow, M.-L., Paradeisos. A Late Neolithic Settlement in Aegean
Thrace (ed. by P. Hellstrom). (Medelhavsmuseet Memoir 7). Stockholm 1987. ISBN
