Karabournaki or Little Karabournou is located in North Aegean, on the edge of the promontory in the center of the Thermaic Gulf, in the area of modern Thessaloniki. The site preserves the remains of an ancient settlement, a harbor and cemeteries, flourished mostly in the Archaic and Classical times. The up-to-date findings are indicative for the commercial role of the site and its significance in the Aegean trade. The revealed architectural remains belong to residential buildings and storerooms dated mostly in the
Archaic period (7 th -6 th c. BC).
