Poliochne, Archaeological site on Lemnos island, Greece.
The ancient settlement of Poliochne stretches along an elevated position on the eastern coast, protected by the Vroskopos cove and two rivers.
Dating from 3700 BC, Poliochne developed through multiple phases marked by different colors, from the Black Period of oval huts to the Yellow Period's urban structures.
The settlement maintained commercial connections with Northeast Aegean islands, Asia Minor, mainland Greece, and the Cyclades, exchanging metals and other goods.
The Italian School of Archaeology at Athens conducts research at the site, where visitors can examine ancient pottery, housing structures, and water management systems.
The settlement contained facilities for public gatherings and early administrative structures, suggesting the presence of organized community governance in ancient Europe.
