The objective of the present dissertation is to present an analysis of the site of Khostia in South West Boiotia during prehistory. The material under consideration comes from two excavation campaigns and survey seasons. An analysis of the site and its territory is presented first (chapter 2): the site itself is limited to the summit of a kastron located on a spur of the Helikon at the head of a small coastal plain which it dominates; it is integrated within largely mountainous terrain suitable mostly for herding. The limited area covered by the territory as a whole suggests that the site was never more than a village. The analysis of the pottery (chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6) proves that the site was inhabited continuously from the Early Helladic period (starting probably within EHI) to the Mykenaian period (the most recent material dates from the earliest phase of LHIIIC), the site was abandoned thereafter. Complete pottery catalogues are integrated into the appropriate analytical chapters. An analysis of the frequency of the various types of ceramics (chapter 6) suggest that the population of the site reached its maximum density during Mykenaian times (LHIIIA-B). Finally (chapter 7) Khostia is considered within its regional context through an overview of the prehistoric occupation of the coastal area of South West Boiotia and of the communication axes linking it with its immediate neighbours.
