This study publishes pottery from ten Byzantine and post-Byzantine sites in eastern Phokis between Atalanti, Elateia and Orchomenos. The pottery reveals a Middle-Byzantine revival in the area, followed by a decline during the Tourkokratia and, by the nineteenth century, a concentration of settlement into fewer, larger sites.
In May and June 1980 Dr K. Demakopoulou undertook exploratory excavations on behalf of the Greek Archaeological Service in the central square of the city of Thebes. Deposits of the Byzantine and later periods continued down for more than 5 metres. The finds, primarily from domestic habitation, are presented here.
Summary. Twenty glazed bowls of the late twelfth century A.D. from the Ashmolean Museum are published here. They probably come from a shipwreck off the island of Skopelos in the north‐west Aegean and are of intrinsic interest in expanding the already known categories of Middle Byzantine Incised Wares.
