“…Baker-Penoyre (1909) found the remains of 2 towers on the hills that form the natural limits of the bay. Bon (1930) repeated Baker-Penoyre's description, pointing out that the isolation of what Bon had believed to be an uninhabited site made the presence of these defensive structures difficult to explain.…”

ABSTRACT. The transitional period known as the Final Neolithic-Early Bronze Age in Greece, falling in terms of absolute dates within the 4th millennium BC, is an obscure and enigmatic period. Few sites in northern Greece or the southern Balkans have produced evidence of 4th millennium BC occupation, and the sites that do are mainly concentrated in the last third of the 4th millennium toward the beginning of the EBA. This paper presents archaeological evidence and radiocarbon dates from a site that covers part of the gap, Aghios Ioannis on Thassos, the northernmost Aegean island. It is a coastal site of seasonal occupation and most probably depended on organized animal husbandry plus hunting and fishing activitie s. From the first excavations in 1996, there was evidence that the site was occupied during the Final Neolithic to the beginning of the Early Bronze Age. The 14 C dates obtained fall towards the end of the 4th millennium if not closer to the middle. The presence of human activity in this last part of the 4th millennium "gap" on Thassos is by itself an interesting discovery that enlarges our knowledge for this obscure period and is of environmental and cultural significance.

“…Μέ χρι τα τέλη πάντως του 18ου αιώνα, η θασιακή αμπελουργία θεωρείται αρκε τά ανθηρή, και τα προϊόντα της ανταλλάσσονται με τα δημητρικά της περαίας. Με την έναρξη του επόμενου αιώνα, η παραγωγή εμφανίζεται αδύναμη να καλύψει τις τοπικές ανάγκες, και μαρτυρούνται εισαγωγές από την Αίνο και την Τένεδο (Bon 1930(Bon : 169, Βακαλόπουλος 1984.…”

Towers on the island of Thasos are discussed, to determine how they relate to the Thasian countryside. It is unlikely that there is any single explanation for their existence. Defence does not appear to be a normal purpose. Some may have served as signals of danger to sailors, others were primarily agricultural, providing safe, if temporary, bases for farming and herding. Some may have been strong rooms associated with normal village dwellings for storage and protection of goods as well as people in times of danger or as a display of wealth. It is noted that village settlements are infrequent on Thasos. A catalogue of the towers is given in an appendix.
