“…of scraped ware sherds may suggest links with the area of Rizava, where a regional production centre for such pottery is reported (Krachtopoulou et al 2018;2020). The small number of buff burnished sherds found at the site may also suggest exchange with the Sesklo area (Schneideretal 1994.64;Dimoula 2014), with a programme of petrographic analysis currently being carried out on the material by Areti Pentedeka.…”

“…Other Neolithic tells are visible in the area, amongst which Koutroulou stands out (Kyparissi-Apostolika 2003;Hamilakis, Kyparissi 2012;Hamilakis et al 2017), while many other Neolithic settlements are located in the adjacent western part of the Thessalian Plain in Karditsa (Kyparissi-Apostolika 2019; Orengo et al 2015;Krachtopoulou et al 2020). Imvrou Pigadi is one of the most outstanding tells in the area because of its significant extent and height, at over 4m above the road.…”

This paper presents the first known and systematically excavated Middle Neolithic pottery workshop in southwestern Thessaly at Imvrou Pigadi. The excavations and in situ finds, along with the pronounced kiln structures, their typological classification and pyrotechnological operation, suggests considerable expertise in pottery manufacture. The pottery itself, together with the chipped stone industry and other small finds, as well as the fauna and archaeobotanical assemblages are presented. The results of the 14C dating programme point to use of the workshop at the beginning of the 6th millennium. All this evidence suggests an active settlement where pottery production was carried out, which was then circulated within the wider region.
