Pigi Artemidos

Pigi Artemidos is a Bronze Age archaeological site at the foot of lower Mount Olympus, near Platamonas in the Pieria region of Greece. Discovered during road construction for the Athens-Thessaloniki highway, it was excavated from July to December 2009 across approximately 1,000 square metres. Initially used as a settlement in the mid-2nd millennium BC, it became a burial ground around 1450-1200 BC with grave offerings of Mycenaean type, including handmade and wheel-made pottery, bronze knives, bracelets, and spiral earrings. The site was later reoccupied as a farm in the Classical period and for viticulture during Roman times.
