Important archaeological finds were brought to light after construction work done near the road sections in the Platamonas area.

Specifically, works taking place within the framework of roadworks between Maliakos-Kleidi Imathias, revealed a cemetery and settlement of the Late Bronze Age (mid- 2nd millennium BC!).

Several tombs contained rich offerings, like vases (handmade and wheel-made of a Mycenaean rhythm), copper rings, bone beads, clay “whorls” or sinkers, bronze knives, a seal, etc.

Also some of the graves were very small in size and apparently had children inside them. After funerary use, edifices were built in the same place, which are now brought to light by the –now- archaeological dig. These are two arched buildings and monumental walls which may define the residential area.

The first vaulted building is preserved at the stone foundations level and has a length of about 10m. The roof would be made of brick slats, traces of which were kept in its destroyed layers.

The inside of the buildings had postholes of piles support the roof, traces of clay tools, a multitude of vases, both handmade and Mycenaean style, and stone and clay artifacts. Two sealed jars were also found intact.

A second vaulted building was located next to the first and parallel to it. Also preserved, were its foundations.

The arched type of building (is it a house?) originates in the Middle Bronze Age (beginning of the 2nd millennium BC), and has not before been sighted in the area of Macedonian Olympus.
