The aim of the current thesis is to record and present all the known settlements and
dwellings of Central and Western Macedonia dated to the EN and MN periods, with special
focus given on their spatial organization and architecture. By providing a complete
documentation of both the EN and MN settlements and dwellings for each of the two
geographical areas under study - including but not limited to the well-known
bibliographically sites such as Paliambela Kolindros (Pieria), Nea Nikomedeia (Imathia),
Stavroupoli (Thessaloniki), Mavropigi-Fylotsairi (Ptolemaida), Sosandra (Aridaia) and
Servia (Kozani) -, the aim will be to explore commonalities and differences in the form
and architecture of the settlements and dwellings in order to gain a broader understanding
of the variability in the habitation patterns and the organization of the EN and MN farming
communities in different regions of Macedonia. The methodology followed will include
an exhaustive use of the available bibliography, Greek and foreign. At this point, it should
be noted that the present dissertation will include only the excavated EN and MN sites of
Central and Western Macedonia, and will not refer to other contemporaneous sites, that
either lacked architectural evidence or were identified by surface evidence during surveys.
