Wells Sealed With Calcium Carbonate Discovered on Cephalonia: A 3,100-Year-Old Mystery

Recent excavations on the Greek island of Cephalonia have uncovered a remarkable pair of ancient wells, shedding light on some of the earliest material extraction practices in the Aegean region.

Dating back to around 1200-1100 BC, these wells are not only a testament to early mining activities but also offer intriguing insights into the ritualistic behaviors of the time. The site, located on the hill of Kotroni near Lakithra, has astonished archaeologists with its complex design and the mysterious ceremonial practices associated with it.

Uncovering the Wells of Kotroni

A Greek Ministry of Culture release explains how the excavation at Kotroni, directed by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cephalonia and Ithaca, began after aerial photographs revealed a circular structure protruding through dense vegetation. Initially, archaeologists expected to find a new burial monument akin to the Mycenaean Tzanata Tombs. However, the discoveries turned out to be far more unique and complex.

Two large wells, approximately 16 feet (5 meters) deep, were found at the site. These wells are surrounded by meticulously arranged stone rings that not only support the outer slopes but also add a monumental quality to the structures. This design, combined with the mound-like appearance of the wells, suggests they were not merely practical tools for material extraction but also held significant ceremonial importance.
