Kokkinopilos, Preveza, Greece, Archaeological site near Agios Georgios, Greece.
Located in Preveza region, Kokkinopilos features a collection of red clay hills rising between 100 and 150 meters above the surrounding landscape.
Archaeological excavations revealed stone tools and hand axes dating from 250,000 to 200,000 years ago, indicating continuous human presence during Paleolithic times.
The site contains evidence of early human migration patterns from the Near East to Western Europe through discovered leaf-shaped spearheads.
Two access routes lead to Kokkinopilos: a 500-meter walk from the Preveza-Ioannina national road or a 1.5-kilometer forest trail from Rizovouni.
The reddish soil composition of Kokkinopilos has affected the preservation of ancient remains, with acidic conditions preventing the survival of skeletal materials.
