The area has become flat to a large extent, because large marble bulks have been removed. Moreover, the mining location of the quarries, half-processed blocks, but also traces left by the quarrying techniques and the use of lifting equipment of the marble blocks, are also visible. At the cited drawing, the mining method and the transport of marble blocks from the quarries of Group C are depicted, as it results from the archaeological research which has been done till now. Holes on the rock prove that lifting equipment was used (cranes), to lift the marble blocks that were placed on ships. The bollards of the ships have also been located by researchers.

Ancient carving on the rock depicting a ship There is a visible carving on the rock depicting a ship. It probably refers to the ships of that time which were carrying marbles. Who created it? Probably a quarrier carved what he wanted, namely a ship for his escape or did he carve one of the ships that he saw to be driven ashore to load marbles? A drawing depicting the carving of a ship from the quarries of Alyki. Although this is a sketchy unfinished carving, which does not allow reliable conclusions, we could assume that the hollow shape and the deep water immersion, which gives sailing stability and low speed movement, are realistic characteristics of the ships used for transporting marble bulks from the quarries of Alyki. The mooring ropes of the load and the rudder of the ship might be depicted too.

Lifting Techniques The exploitation of marble began during antiquity, in the center of the peninsula. The quarries in the area of Alyki are classified into three groups which coincide with three different periods. The operation of the quarries of group A within the peninsula dates back from the 6th century, namely the Archaic period, and decays in the early Christian times. The exploitation of marble left several traces: rock sections, traces of the quarrying techniques and the cranes used to lift the blocks, but also breccia depositions, that is the waste created by the processing of the marble at the quarries of group B, which were promoted at the empty spaces of the quarries of group A. Around the area we notice the obvious traces of ancient technology, as they have been saved until today, carved on the rock. In the picture we see the mounting hole of the side wooden beams of the crane, used for lifting and moving marble bulks. The wooden beams, probably from local pines that were cut on the spot and were processed appropriately, were able to withstand the loads that had to be moved. On the bedrock you can notice, even today, the appropriate side to side carvings (noose), which were able to keep securely the ropes which were holding the core of the crane that was used in this quarry. The cited drawing shows a crane with cage wheels, in which one or more men walked, so that the rotation of the cage would permit the lifting of the marble blocks. The method of the attachment of the machine on the ground is also distinguished, but also the hauling ropes with the pulleys, which were used to lift loads. Such machines were used for lifting very heavy loads. Entrance no Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Here, visitors can see the mining location of the quarries of group A. Apart from the mining location of the abandoned quarry, the breccias are also visible, namely the waste of the marble processing, which is accumulated in piles. Today, the extent of the Group A quarries is not evident, because when they were abandoned, they were later used as areas for the disposal of breccias, which came from the mining of marble at the quarries of the other two groups. To remove a piece of marble from the bedrock, the ancient quarry workers used at first hoeing tools with which they opened grooves in order to define the perimeter of the desired part. Then, they used tools cutting the marble, in order to be released from the bedrock and removed. At the cited drawings, the techniques with which they used to cut the marble during the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods, are visible. The first drawing shows the techniques of the archaic period. After the initial drill of holes, small metal pins, which were inserted deeper with hammering ripping the marble, were placed in these openings. The next two drawings present the variation of this technique, during the Classical and Hellenistic period, when wider wedges were used.

Unfinished column. At low levels of the quarry area, at various points of the quarries of group B, traces of the tools, which were used for the extraction of marble, are visible. Throughout antiquity, the quarry workers were able to dislodge large marble blocks, with geometric precision using wedges, sledgehammer, ax and spear, named respectively in ancient times, wedges, heavies, tikos and needles. Quarrying techniques during the Roman era At the given drawing, the quarrying technique, which was used during the Roman period, is visible. The tools which were used are: hammer and wide wedges, for the drilling and the detachment of marble bulks. At that time the Thassian marble became known and was in great demand throughout the Roman Empire and often decorates public buildings, monuments and mansions of prominent Roman citizens. Unfinished monolithic column Perhaps, looking from above, we cannot realize the height and the volume of this incomplete, monolithic column, which today, although it is half-covered with waste from the quarries, reveals the skills of the craftsmen of that time, who were able to create ornate marble objects, although they had a few tools at their disposal. What did it go wrong, and the column was left forever buried? We might never know. Looking closely at the column, we realize its size and volume. It is of nine meters height, like the height of a current, three-storey building. It is not known, for which port or which place was intended. But it is certain, that it was made to decorate an important building of the time. It is possible that it was intended for Rome, since the Romans had a high regard for the Thassian marble. It has been found that in the early Christian times, the marble of Alyki was exported to Greece (Thessaloniki, Aegina), Asia Minor (Pergamon, Sardis, Efesos), Italy (Ostia, Rome, Akouliia) and Syria (Antioch). Although it was found in the waste of a quarry of Group B, on the east coast of the peninsula, archaeologists believe that it was probably carved in the quarry A11, which is located in the interior of the peninsula. A closer look allows the visitor to notice that the final polishing of the largest part of the surface of the column, took place in the mining area. It was an important activity, which involved the removal of the unnecessary volume of the marble, which would cause greater load and of course additional difficulty in its transportation and its loading aboard. Only one strip was left rough and crude, probably to protect the column, during its transportation, while we can observe that it bears a Masonic symbol. If we observe the area from the side of the sea, we clearly see the vertical marble mining fronts. However, as time passed by, the waves of the sea have smoothed the remaining marbles, but also the fierce, southern wind has deformed vegetation.

Although they operated firstly in different periods, there were also periods when quarries from different groups operated simultaneously. Therefore, the quarries from group A, within the peninsula, are the oldest ones, but they operated until the end of antiquity and they were abandoned in the early Christian times. The quarries from group B, on the eastern side of the peninsula, were in bloom in the early Christian period, but they started to operate earlier. At the time when the quarries from group B were developed, the exploitation of the quarries from group C, on the southern part of the peninsula started too. Impressive is the unfinished base of diameter 1,60m, which was found among the waste of A1 quarry. The quarries of Alyki are classified by French researchers in three groups: group A, where the quarrying work began, is inside the peninsula, while groups B and C are located along the eastern and southern coastline respectively.

Ruins of an older one-room chapel It is easily distinguished that the Northern Basilica was rebuilt on the ruins of a one-room chapel, which was built around 400 - 425. A hundred or so years later, around 500, the three-aisled basilica was built. Today we see, what was revealed of this church by the archaeologists. The two early Christian basilicas operate until the early 7th century when the use of quarries stops and all of them were permanently abandoned. Next to the Northern Christian Basilica, as we have already seen, there is the Southern Christian Basilica. It is obviously bigger, had a pulpit, gallery and many rooms at the south part. It communicated with the Northern Basilica and its atrium, through three openings in the wall. Today, two columns of the internal colonnades of the Southern Early Christian basilica have been restored; the mainstay of the oldest damn was preserved, while in the area, there are only the foundations of the pulpit and the first rung of the western scale. At the incision, along the designing restoration of the South Early Christian basilica you can see on the left the arch of the sanctuary, on the right the cast with the staircase leading to the attic, the pulpit in the main aisle with relief decoration, the colonnade of the main temple and the attic decorated with relief slabs. The pulpit is decorated with relief slabs, now no longer visible in the area. They bear relief representations of peacocks, vine with birds, trees, undiagnosed type of quadruped animals and plants. The given drawing is kept in the Archaeological Museum of Thassos in Limenas.

After the prevalence of Christianity and during the early Byzantine period, between 500 and 600 AD, there were two churches which were gradually built over the ancient sanctuary, on the top of the hill, and they were of a wooden roof basilica type. The group of the churches, from 500 to 600 AD, did evolve in four different building phases and it got abandoned in 619, during the time of the Slavic invasions. In the ground plan which is presented, you could see the final phase. In both basilicas the sanctuary is separated from the main church with a marble barrier altar screen, while the main church is divided into three naves by two rows of columns. The south Basilica is older, it is markedly larger and it features an ornate marble pulpit with a staircase. The north Basilica it has on its west side an atrium with the biggest part of the latter having been roofed. On the west we could also see a baptistery with a circular baptismal font in its center, but also a space for funerary use. Burials have also been spotted both in the atrium, as well as inside the North Basilica. In both early Christian basilicas, the sanctuary stands out from the main church by a marble barrier of an altar screen, while the main church is divided into three naves by two rows of columns. The south Basilica is older, it is markedly larger and it features an ornate marble pulpit with a staircase. The north Basilica has on its west side an atrium with the biggest part of the latter having been roofed. On the west we could also see a baptistery with a circular baptismal font in its center, but also there is a space for funerary use. Burials have also been spotted both in the atrium, as well as inside the North Basilica. At the southwest of the South Basilica there are several surrounding buildings which were serving as utility rooms. In the axonometric drawing of the two early Christian basilicas, which is reproduced at a scale of 1: 500, you can see the magnitude of the churches and as well as their outbuildings. Have a close look firstly at the roof of the atrium, with its opening to be placed in its center in order to allow the light to pass through, and also look at the upper room of the South Basilica, the roof of which stands out from the roof of the rest of the church. At the photo you see the room of the Northern Basilica, which has funerary use. Within and outside the Northern Basilica and its atrium, thirteen tombs, which used to include bones of many people and few poor offerings, were discovered. The graves were covered with slabs of slate or marble. This cemetery was in use since 500 and for almost one century.

At the base of the hill there is an opening of a cave. A second cave was located higher up on the hill, on the left of the path leading to the early Christian basilicas. Inside this cave, several offerings were found: Such as pottery and figurines which are dated from the Archaic to the Roman period. Today, this area is not open to visitors. An inscription of the 3rd century BC, found near the excavated buildings of the ancient temple, and it refers to a cave dedicated to Apollo.
