Near Kinyra, at the eastern coast of Thasos several ancient galleries were found during the 1979 field- season. The galleries extend up to 100 m into the ridge of Klisidi. They contain numerous traces of ancient mining activity. Mineralogical and chemical studies on limonitic ore samples reveal that gold is the only metal in these galleries which was worth mining in antiquity. The galleries very likely belong to the ancient gold mines which Herodotus described in this area and which, so far, had not been re-located.Près de Kinyra, sur la côte orientale de Thasos plusieurs anciennes galeries furent découvertes pendant la campagne de terrain 1979.
