Lithares
Proto-Hellenic settlement and cemetery (3rd millennium BC) near Lake Yliki. A section of road, houses and a shrine with clay figurines of bulls have been excavated. The tombs had the form of a cavernous chamber with a road. Stone tools, apple obsidian blades and Cycladic pottery show the settlement's technological sophistication and network of Aegean contacts. The finds are exhibited in the Museum of Thebes.
