“…This might be of considerable significance for the reconstruction of regional history. It has been stressed in a number of publications that Kastro/Palaia outlived other settlements in the area, and that this was the site that attracted people that left other habitation places (Adrymi-Sismani 2020, 30; Karouzou 2020, 889). With a deposit that matches Dimini in its re-occupation phase pottery so closely, not only in terms of stylistic parallels but also particular components, yet with some elements pointing to a slightly later date, we may have the first more direct evidence to base such a hypothesis on a more secure basis.…”

This article presents a Late Helladic IIIC Early deposit of pottery and small finds deriving from rescue excavations at the Kokotsika plot in Kastro/Palaia, within the modern city of Volos. It is the first systematically published deposit from that site, providing data on stratigraphy, small finds, pottery typology, decoration, fabrics and use-wear patterns, supplemented with detailed statistics. A particular feature of the recovered assemblage is the comparatively high frequency of Handmade Burnished Ware, as well as the presence of Grey Ware, both seen as products of people deriving from the Italian peninsula. The presented deposit provides valuable new data both for the site of Kastro/Palaia, as well as for the region of coastal Thessaly. The revealed remains and stratigraphy might be related to the structures exposed in nearby plots by earlier excavation campaigns of D. Theocharis. The deposit documents most likely a slightly later stage of Late Helladic IIIC Early compared to what is present at the abandonment deposits at Dimini and Pefkakia. As such it provides new clues for the reconstruction of regional history, confirming earlier views that Kastro/Palaia attracted people who left other habitation sites in the area.
