		Sesklo (Sesclo, Greek: Σέσκλο) was a village nearby the city of Volos, in Thessaly (central Greece), in the prefecture of Magnesia.
		The peoples of Sesklo built their villages at hillsides, near fertile valleys, where they grew wheat and barley, keeping also herds of mainly sheep and goats, though they also had cows, pigs and dogs.
		The "invasion theory" states that the Sesklo culture lasted more than one full millennium up until 5000 BC when it was violently conquered by people of the Dimini culture.

	THIN SECTIONING NEOLITHIC IDENTITIES: THE RED MONOCHROME WARE FROM MIDDLE NEOLITHIC SESKLO, THESSALY
		Previous research on Sesklo detected a series of interesting differences between Sesklo A and Sesklo B relating to stratigraphy and settlement pattern, interpreted as a 'dual habitation pattern'.
		Differences seem to apply also to the quantitative and qualitative distribution of painted pottery: the diagnostic painted wares show higher frequencies in Sesklo A in comparison to Sesklo B, and, in the majority, are made of calcareous clay.
		However, when it comes to the question of shapes, it is clear that two of the three fabrics were selectively used for the manufacture of particular vessel shapes in restricted areas within the settlement (either in Sesklo A or in Sesklo B, but not both).

	The Neolithic Cultures
		The Sesklo culture extends from Servia in western Macedonia south to Lianokladhi in Phthiotis, an area of distribution comparable in size to that occupied by the contemporary MN culture of southern Greece characterized by Urfirnis pottery.
		Sesklo consists of an acropolis surrounded by a lower town, the whole estimated to have covered some 25-30 acres and to have housed some 3000-4000 inhabitants.
		The architecture at Dimini and Sesklo is distinctive: small "forts" with multiple enclosure walls and a central megaron opening onto a courtyard.

	The Early Prehistory of Greece (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		A typical Thessalian village can be seen at Sesklo, which was excavated by Christos Tsountas nearly a hundred years ago.
		Later in the history of the site, around 5500 B.C., fortifications were added to the center in the form of a strong wall, and settlement was extended to a lower town that housed a growing population.
		As in all of the Thessalian Neolithic villages, Sesklo produced much painted pottery of great variety, showing changes through time from simple designs to sophisticated artistic designs executed in red paint on a white background, followed by a period with dark geometric designs.

		Further excavations, however, showed that Neolithic Sesklo was not merely a small settlement but a whole city, with an area of 100 stremmata [25 acres] and a population of at least 3000 inhabitants, the epicenter of which was a fortified acropolis on a hill which is known today as Kastraki.
		However, this theory does not stand scrutiny because the acropolis at Sesklo was destroyed 4400 years B.C. that is, at least four centuries before the development of the Dimini culture, and 2400 to 1400 years before the most widely accepted dates as to the "arrival" of the Indo-Europeans.
		Therefore, the "civilization of Sesklo," they tell us, began 3000 years ago, in spite of the fact that the newest, most advanced dating methods in the world today give us a date that is 2000 years older.

		Their fanciest pottery (dishes, pitchers, cups) was decorated with red and white patterns, and some of it was carried to other villages and sold there.
		Probably around this time the Greek villages got big enough to choose a "big man" or "headman" to organize the village and settle arguments, and lead the men to war.
		These invading people seem to have had a big military advantage over the Sesklo people: they had bows and arrows, so they could shoot over the stone walls from far away.

	The Early Neolithic I settlement at Sesklo
		The data available indicate that the domestication of cattle has taken place at Argissa as early as 8300 BP -during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic.
		The earliest occurrence reported in the Near East is at Çatal Hüyük, in stratum VI, dating around 7750 BP, though it may have been present in stratum XII too - somewhere around 8100 BP.
		The very rare pottery from levels XII and XI at Çatal Hüyük closely resembles in shape the very coarse ware of Early Neolithic I from Sesklo, but the paste is quite different, having a partly vegetable temper.

		Exhibits on display include jewelry, household utensils and agricultural tools, originating from the Neolithic settlements of Dimini and Sesklo, as well as clay statuettes and a wide variety of items from the geometric period, a time of great heroic events, such as the Argonautic Expedition and the Trojan War.
		I'm also particularly keen on all Neolithic items, particularly every-day utensils and tools made of, well, stone; the simplicity and effectiveness of their design is mind-blowing.
		Just outside the museum there are some interesting reconstructions of the Neolithic houses at Dimini and Sesklo, which are also worth a peek.
