Looters jailed for life over illegal antiquities by bat400 on Monday, 14 October 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
A Greek court has imposed life sentences on two men convicted of dealing in ancient treasure worth an estimated (EURO)12 million ($15.85 million), which had been illegally excavated from a cemetery in northern Greece.

The court in the northern city of Thessaloniki jailed two more men for 20 and 16 years, respectively, after finding them guilty of digging up and transporting the antiquities.

The severity of Friday's sentences was due to the high market value of the loot—more than 70 artifacts from the 6th century B.C.

These included gold masks, four helmets, a glass perfume bottle, small clay statues, part of a gold diadem and parts of an iron sword decorated with gold leaf.

Archaeologists are currently excavating an ancient cemetery near Thessaloniki where the finds came from.

Ancient settlement near Thessaloniki investigated by bat400 on Monday, 14 October 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
Karabournaki is located on the edge of a peninsula in the center of the Thermaic Gulf (North Aegean), in the area of modern Thessaloniki. The site preserves the remains of an ancient settlement placed on the top of a low mound, cemeteries extending in the surrounding area and a harbour. Karabournaki is probably identified with the harbour of ancient Therme, mentioned by the literary sources.

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, under the directorship of professor Michalis Tiverios, assistant professor Eleni Manakidou and the senior researcher Dr. Despoina Tsiafaki, carries the archaeological research at the settlement from 1994 onwards.

The archaeologists will present the results of the 2012 excavational season at Karabournaki, within the framework of the conference about the Archaeological Work in Macedonia and Thrace. Their paper is titled “Karabournaki 2012: Excavational survey and research in the ancient settlement.”

As stated in the abstract of the paper, the excavations conducted in 2012 had a double aim: a) the documentation of a considerable number of movable finds, and b) the investigation of some excavated areas of the ancient settlement, in order to comprehend and interpret them. This is why “closed” assemblages of finds were chosen, which came from areas of various activities, not only domestic ones but also workshop activities.

Last year, the team classified, reconstructed and photographed the ceramic fragments found within a semi-subterranean beehive shaped pit (yposkapton) in the trench 27/89d, where two rather big intercommunicating semi-subterranean beehive shaped pits were located. More than 25 such structures have been revealed so far in the settlement.

The archaeologists stress that in these two pits large amounts of domestic and luxury pottery were found. Furthermore, the pits contained some rather rare decorated vessels, such as Ionian, Corinthian and Corinthian type pottery. Last year’s investigation of the ceramic finds from the yposkapton of the NW corner showed they are mostly local Archaic domestic utensils – which does not mean that there were no imported examples. Regarding the local production, it shows a big variety of forms – typical are the “egg-shelled” (ookelyphi), the oinochoe and the cooking vessels.
