Medieval Settlement at Panakton I49 HESPERIA 72 (2003) A LATE MEDIEVAL PagesI47-234 SETTLEMENTAT PANA KTO N AB STRACT Excavationsin 1991 and 1992 partiallyuncovered the remainsof the late medievalvillage that overliesthe ruinsof ancientPanakton. Dated to the 14thand early 15th century, the settlementwas built and occupied at a time in whichcentral Greece was ruledby competingWestern powers; both the identityof the residentsand the medievalname of the villageremain open questions.This reportpresents the domesticstructures excavated to date,as wellas the ceramics,coins, and tools associated with rural life andthe agrar- ianeconomy. The reportalso discusses the village's central church, its carved andpainted decoration, and the burialsthat surrounded it. INTRODUCTION Panaktonis locatedabove the villageof Prasinoon a summitofthe Parnes- Kithaironridgeline, midway between Athens and Thebes (Figs. 1, 2).1 Dominatedby the higherpeaks of Parnesto the east and Kithaironto the west,Panakton commands wide views to the north and south and is conspicuousfrom manydirections.

Analysis of Panakton'sceramics raises questions about the distributionof functionalwares as well as the location of a regionalwork- shopthat produced most ofthe vessels on site.The excavation ofthe village's housesyields information about domestic architecture and daily life in the late medievalperiod for a segmentof societythat has left virtuallyno writtenrecords. Twoyears of investigationhave revealed a short-livedsettlement de- pendenton agriculturalproduction.The hardship of dailylifeis evidenced by stressmarks permanently impressed on the bonesof both men and womenburied in andaround the church.That the villagers were engaged in cultivationis revealedin theagricultural tools, such as a plowshare(24), andlarge storage vessels that were found within domestic contexts (18, 19).The absenceof costlyarticles of personaladornment or numerous importedceramic vessels suggests that the economiclevel of the inhabit- antswas not high.The finestglazed vessels and most precious metal ob- jectswere associated with the church;simple sgrafflto bowls and plain waressufflced for the home.Although the precise identity of thevillagers ISO S.

The peaks in this region, which are covered with a forest of pine, rise to heights of over seven hundred meters above sea level, their sides are steep and often precipitous, and they are separated by deep valleys in which flow the two streams, the Kokkini and the Sarandapotamos, which unite to form the Eleusinian Kephissos just before they emerge from the hills into the coastal plain (figs.

This article presents material collected from the systematic survey of the site between 2007 and 2009. The pottery and small finds suggest three major periods of occupation: the Late Helladic (LH), Archaic–Classical, and Medieval. Quantified analysis of the diagnostic material indicates that the most sustained activity occurred during the Mycenaean era, in both the palatial period (LH III A–B), when the political authority based in Thebes exerted a strong influence over the area, and during the post-palatial period (LH IIIC). In the latter period, there is no more evidence for a centralized political authority operating out of Thebes, and Eleon was presumably an independent entity. L’ancienne Éléon, située en périphérie de l’actuel village d’Arma dans la plaine agri- cole de Thèbes, est le plus important site habité couvert par la prospection de surface du Eastern Boeotia Archaeological Project (EBAP).
