Abstract

This volume is devoted to Magoúla Pavlína, a Middle Bronze Age site in the municipality of Almirós (Thessalía, Greece). Immediately after the magoúla was brought under cultivation and ploughed for the first time, in 1996, the site was surveyed and a sample of ceramics, lithics, molluscs and bone material was collected. In this introduction a brief overview is given of the history of research in the area by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology, which started at the Hellenistic town of New Halos and continued with various survey campaigns in its vicinity. This is followed by an outline of the sampling method, research questions and contents of the chapters.
