Ancient Settlement Uncovered on Greece's Evia Island

Archaeologists uncovered a settlement in southern Evia, believed to date from the 6th century B.C. the Greek ministry of Culture announced on Tuesday.

There’s not all that much information in this short article, but what interested me about it is the mention at the end that the town seemed to have a population of craftsmen. I wonder if there’s a site yet to be found at which the craftsmen worked. Reminds me a bit of Deir el Medina in Egypt, although much later.
