  Dimini
Near the modern village of Dimini, a low hill is crowned by the remains of a 4th century BCE settlement, which was excavated by Christos Tsoundas in 1903, and given its completeness and level of complexity of the cultural evidence, it was initially mistaken for a Bronze Age site.
Dimini was occupied during the late Neolithic Period between 4800 and 4500 BCE.
While the dwellings of Dimini appear to be small and consist of one chamber, this large house consists of two rooms, and it has been dubbed the “megaron” because its size and position implies the importance of a leader’s house, or a common area (perhaps a place of worship) for the whole community.

 Una Gita a Dimini
a.C.) Dimini era sede di un "regno" miceneo, e nelle immediate vicinanze si trovano le rovine della citta' di Iolkos, legata al mito di Giasone e del Vello d'oro, forse un ricordo, in epoca storica, dei rapporti commerciali che avevano unito la Tessaglia con il Mar Nero.
Caratteristiche di tutte le regioni intorno al Mediterraneo Orientale, queste colline di rovine, (chiamate, a seconda dei posti tell, petromaghoula,tumba), offrono agli studiosi di oggi la possibilita' di abbracciare in un solo colpo d'occhio la successione delle diverse epoche storiche: i nuovi occupanti costruivano sulle macerie (e i cocci) degli abitati precedenti.
nota: Sesklo e Dimini appartengono in effetti a due realta' diverse: piu' antica la cultura di Sesklo (5300-4400 a.C.) sembra sia stata distrutta proprio dalla cultura di Dimini (4300-3800 a.C.), proveniente dall' Anatolia (Hacilar).
