The village Solin (Σωλήν) in Kassandra
Abstract
In 1419 the monastery of Aghios Panteleimon in Mount Athos re ceived a large estate on the peninsula of Kassandra. In the definition of its boundaries is mentioned «τα δίκαια τοΰ Σωλήνος» situated on its Southern border (Actes S.P., 1813).
Based on later documents of Mt Athos and archaeological notes, it is proved that in the area concerning us there was the village «Σωλήν», unknown from other sources. Today only the locality name can be found «Σουλήνα (ή)» and some traces of a medieval settlement still alive during the Turkish Rule probably until 1821. On the same site is located a remarkable settlement of the Early Bronze Age, as well as the remains of a large ancient settlement and we propose its identification with the «Νέαν πάλιν» of Herodotus (Z' 123). SE of Solin there was located a destroyed noteworthy Macedonian tomb and further South one can notice the ruins of a large Palaeochristian edifice.
