Eordaea

The name Eordaea is of proto-Greek origin and related to the Mycenaean word "Ϝορδία" meaning "rich land".

Remnants of exploited copper mines from 2700 up until 1200 BCE strongly indicate that the Greeks inhabited Eordaea for many years.

[1] Within a 50-year period, paleontologists and archaeologists have made many discoveries due to the industrial development of the Eordean countryside.

These finds add to knowledge on the variety of animal species and human artifacts from the region of Western Macedonia.

[3] Many ancient towns of Eordaea are mentioned and many archaeological sites have been examined on the past decades, certainly around the Vegoritida lake, but it is difficult to distinguish their names.
