Πρόκειται για ένα σημαντικό σύνολο από θραυσμένα αγγεία της Ύστερης Πρωτογεωμετρικής και της Πρώιμης Γεωμετρικής περιόδου (10ος και 9ος π.Χ. αι.). Συμπληρωματικώς παρουσιάζονται τα κτερίσματα από έναν τάφο που ήρθε στο φως μερικές δεκάδες μέτρα ανατολικότερα (οικόπεδο Γιαννούζη), καθώς και τα λιγοστά θραύσματα αγγείων από το οικόπεδο του ΟΣΚ, περί τα 700 μέτρα δυτικότερα, όπου αναπτύχθηκε αργότερα σημαντικός οικισμός των Γεωμετρικών και Αρχαϊκών χρόνων. Το σύνολο περιλαμβάνει πολυάριθμα τροχήλατα και χειροποίητα αγγεία, Η μελέτη έδειξε ότι πρόκειται για κυρίως εγχώρια παραγωγή που βασίζεται σε ευβοϊκά πρότυπα. Αναγνωρίστηκαν ελάχιστα Αθηναϊκά ή αττικίζοντα αγγεία της Ύστερης Πρωτογεωμετρικής και της Πρώιμης Γεωμετρικής περιόδου. Υποστηρίζεται ότι τα Πρωτογεωμετρικά-Υποπρωτογεωμετρικά αγγεία του οικοπέδου ΟΤΕ ανήκουν σε οικιστικό και όχι σε ταφικό σύνολο. Διατυπώνεται η υπόθεση ότι η εγκατάσταση εγκαταλείφτηκε προσωρινά στο τέλος του τρίτου τετάρτου του 9ου π.Χ. αι., είτε λόγω ανθρώπινης επέμβασης, είτε εξαιτίας της υπερχείλισης του ποταμού/ χειμάρρου που έρρεε εκεί. Τέλος, υποστηρίζεται ότι η ευρύτερη περιοχή με τα εν λόγω κατάλοιπα ταυτίζεται με την ομηρική Γραία και διατυπώνονται υποθέσεις για τις σχέσεις των κατοίκων του Ωρωπού με τους Ευβοείς.

A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers an original and inclusive review of two key periods of Greek archaeology, which are typically treated separately—the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. It presents an in-depth exploration of the society and material culture of Greece and the Mediterranean, from the 14th to the early 7th centuries BC. The two-volume companion sets Aegean developments within their broader geographic and cultural context, and presents the wide-ranging interactions with the Mediterranean.
The companion bridges the gap that typically exists between Prehistoric and Classical Archaeology and examines material culture and social practice across Greece and the Mediterranean. A number of specialists examine the environment and demography, and analyze a range of textual and archaeological evidence to shed light on socio-political and cultural developments. The companion also emphasizes regionalism in the archaeology of early Greece and examines the responses of different regions to major phenomena such as state formation, literacy, migration and colonization. Comprehensive in scope, this important companion:
Outlines major developments in the two key phases of early Greece, the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age Includes studies of the geography, chronology and demography of early Greece Explores the development of early Greek state and society and examines economy, religion, art and material culture Sets Aegean developments within their Mediterranean context Written for students, and scholars interested in the material culture of the era, A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers a comprehensive and authoritative guide that bridges the gap between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age.

The aim is to understand how collective practices were employed to articulate distinctive social identities in Early and Archaic Greece. Three sites located in important geographical areas are presented as study cases: the Late Helladic III-Early Iron Age Amyklaion in Laconia, the Late Geometric " Sacred Houses " in Attica, and a number of Archaic Necropoleis in Northern Greece. Taking into account new evidence, the three study-cases offer the opportunity to discuss important issues: the continuity of practices between the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age at the Amyklaion; the formation of social identities in feasting activities at particular buildings such as the " Sacred Houses " in Attica; and finally the observed changes in the funerary rites at a number of culturally diverse contexts in Northern Greece.

Two of the structures are dated to the 12th century while the third dates from the 12th to the 10th centuries BC. Moreover, detailed comparisons are offered with similar platforms and associated assemblages of ceramics, figurines and animal bones found in funerary, domestic and cult contexts from the Postpalatial to the Archaic periods. Caroline Thruston's paper presents the figurines discovered in the area. Alex Livarda and Georgia Kotzamani offer the analyses of the bio-archaeological evidence, while Alex Mulhall presents a preliminary account of the faunal remains and Tatiana Theodoropoulou offers a study of marine animal associated with cult activities.
