Halos · Nausitoo

"Halos (Haleus) lay in Achaea. The location of its central area, certainly near the sea, remains unknown (...) Some smaller settlements, presumably villages, lay in its territory, and a temple has also been uncovered, inside which Geometric pottery was found. Several military installations are also attested, some of them with phases in the second half of the 4th century BC." (Hansen, 2004:714) Halos is known from Herodotus. At a site called New Halos by the excavators, a small settlement of the early 3rd century BC (Hellenistic period) was discovered, laid out on a regular street grid on flat ground at the foot of an acropolis and within a surrounding wall. (Nevett, 1999:117)

Residential areas

These are plans of houses in a settlement of the early 3rd century BC, at the foot of the acropolis. Lisa Nevett points out the difference between the two plans, although the houses are contemporary. This city is Hellenistic and was excavated by Reinders, who calls it New Halos. The city is in Thessaly, near Volos and Larissa.
(Note that the Halos mentioned by Herodotus, which has not been found/located, should lie in Achaea, in the northern Peloponnese)
