- Abstract
- Within the chapter on the organization and resources of the city of a book on Thasos, presentation of the resources of the underground of the island. The pottery clay resources are rather modest, but gave rise to an important production of vases, and in particular commercial amphoras for the famous Thasian wine. Marble is a much more important resource: exploited since the arrival of the settlers from Paros, it was exported to more and more distant destinations until the protobyzantine period. Polymetallic minerals (gold, silver-lead, copper, iron) gave rise to the early development of metallurgical techniques, which were largely responsible for the island's prosperity during the Iron Age and the Archaic Period.
