DISPILIO (Village) KASTORIA
The lake settlement of Dispilio was accidentally discovered in 1932
by the University professor Mr. A. Keramopoulos. The works started in 1992 by
the team of the professor of prehistoric archaeology of Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki, Mr. G. Ch. Chourmouziadis. The findings of the
excavation researches provide us with very significant information for the life
of the inhabitants of that region 7.000 years ago. One can easily see the remarkable
know-know of the people of that age, in fishing, hunting, land cultivation with
advanced - for that age - tools and in the construction of wooden residents (huts)
at the shores of the lake. At the place of the works and according to the findings
there is a park with a natural representation of part of the prehistoric settlement.
