Object description

During the construction work on the railway line Athens-Thessaloniki, the remains of an ancient farmhouse were discovered at Tria Platania . Rescue excavations allowed a small part of the existing antiquities to be located and examined. The largest part of the excavation site is today under the route of the railway line. A study examined the remains of olives to determine how the olive oil was produced in the period from the fourth to the second century BC.
