Résumé :
Since 2002, the French School at Athens has undertaken excavations in Thasos in an area located north of the sanctuary of Artemis at the hearth of the ancient Parian colony. The 2010 and 2012 excavations have yielded the remains of a large Archaic tripartite building of pastas type inside which was uncovered a thick sandy fill belonging to its last attested transformation phase. The fill contained more than 1000 kg of pottery from which the most recent artifacts date to the end of the first quarter of the 5th century B.C. Among the finds can be counted local productions, imports from the main production centres of the Aegean world as well as North Aegean imitations of Attic, Cycladic, Corinthian and East Greek vessels. The unusual aspect about this fill is the striking chronological homogeneity of the assemblage which dates almost exclusively from the turn of the 6th and 5th century B.C. to about 480 B.C. This narrow chronological span provides a rare opportunity to date more accurately some of the coarse, domestic and cooking ware, transport amphorae, loom weights and other finds not so well documented in Thasos and the North Aegean, and to become a reference tool for the identification of Late Archaic pottery found on the north Aegean coast. The publication of this assemblage will also provide an opportunity to enhance our knowledge on the trading networks in which Thasos participated and the influences exerted by the main Aegean workshops on the local Thasian pottery production.
