Tria Platania

During the construction work on the railway line Athens-Thessaloniki, the remains of an ancient farmhouse were discovered at Tria Platania (Greek Τρία Πλατάνια, Three plane trees).

A farmhouse from the Hellenistic period was discovered; Coins and pottery helped dating the find to the end of the 4th century BC.

In the northwestern part of the house was an extensive deposit with large clay vessels, the other rooms of the building were smaller.

As coin finds from the time of Antigonos Gonatas show, the complex was rebuilt immediately, the north side was replaced and reinforced.

Coin finds from the time of Philip II indicate that the estate was abandoned at the beginning of the 2nd century BC.

As pottery, household vessels of all kinds, remains of amphorae, oil lamps and clay weights for the weaving were found.
