Kleinfunde aus dem Itonia-Heilgtum bei Philia (Thessalien)
By epigraphical evidence the sanctuary of the Thessalian Koinon is located near the village Philia, nomos Karditsa (Thessaly). In 1960 deep ploughing in this area teared open the soil until the natural ground, a big quantity of objects was looted by the villagers and part of it reached European and American museums. There were only small places with undsisturbed stratigraphy left, when in 1963-67 D. Theocharis excavated the sanctuary. Therefore it’s mainly the the chronotypological classification of the small finds discussed in this study. Their function – votive, ritual equipment, tool etc. - are also analysed. A diachronical reconstruction of the cult activities refers to the archaeolocical material as well as to the literary tradition.
