Hagios Mamas Excavation 1928
As part of the systematic study of prehistoric mounds in the Chalkidiki, Central Macedonia, the stratigraphy of this mound was investigated. Systematic shafts at regular vertical intervals and trenches dug along the sides of the mound down to virgin soil revealed the following stratification. (1) A Neolithic stratum with pottery similar to that from Thessaly, (2) A stratum containing Early Helladic ware with a potter's kiln, several complete vases, fragments of anthropomorphic vases, a stone axe, a necklace of teeth and carved bone beads, and figurines. (3) This stratum yielded a few fragments of incised ware, a fair amount of Minyan and much coarse indeterminate ware. (4) A stratum with large quantities of Mycenaean sherds (L. H, III. b). At the end of this period the site was abandoned.
