Summary
The sites that have been excavated in these districts are: Ghulas, which was excavated by de Ridder in 1893, Orchomenos, which apart from the trial trenches of Schliemann (1880–1881) and de Ridder (1893) was more systematically explored by the Bavarian expedition under Furtwaengler and Bulle in 1903 and 1905, Chaeronea, Manesi, Dhrakhmani (the ancient Elatea), and a mound in the Schiste, all of which have been excavated by Sotiriadhis between 1902 and 1910. In addition Sotiriadhis and Noack by surface exploration have increased our knowledge of the prehistoric sites of these districts.
A. GHULAS
The principal result of the excavations at this site (p. 12, no. 122) was the study of the fortifications, and the discovery of buildings including what is called a palace. These architectural remains, to judge from the pottery found, belong to the second and third Late Minoan periods; but it is of course possible that they may be somewhat earlier. They however have been fully published by de Ridder and Noack, and no further description is needed. In the excavation not more than thirty fragments of vases were found. These, according to the excavator, were mostly Mycenean, presumably Late Minoan III, and with two or three exceptions wheel made. But it is to be noted that Minyan ware has been found here also.
B. ORCHOMENOS
Schliemann's trial trenches first showed that the remains of Orchomenos go far back into the prehistoric period (p. 12, no. 116).
