"Important archeological discoveries at Lake Karla in Thessaly"

Archeologists discover farm house, Neolithic settlement, inn, ceramic furnace and scores of artifacts.

The archeological digs in the Lake Karla in Thessaly have uncovered four sites of interest. The archeological sites were discovered during excavations that were intended to turn the lake into a main water reserve.

Amongst the finds are a huge farmhouse at “Tserli” from the Hellenistic period (2^nd century BC) with many rooms and about 500 artifacts; a Neolithic settlement surrounded by a yard and scores of ceramics and later Neolithic idols at Amygdale 1; a farm house including a ceramic furnace, also from the Hellenistic period that probably operated as an inn at Amygdale 2 and parts of a stone wall, desk, graves and an interesting square construction, from the Mid Bronze Age at Amygdale 3.

The Central Archeological Council decided to preserve on-site the Hellenistic farmhouse at Tserli, with its many rooms and rectangular courtyards, as well as monuments not affected by the water reserve and which can be integrated into the naturalist promenade to be developed. The rest of the findings will be transferred nearby.

Recently, I studied the Greek civilization in my History class; therefore, this news appeared really interesting to me. I hope that with this artifacts found, archaeologists can discover and learn more about the amazing Hellenistic culture.
