İzmir: Millstones at Erythrai
[Erythrai](/en/yer/erythrai) belonged to the Panionion and, during one period, made and exported millstones. This is a specific episode of production, distinct from the olive-oil workshop at [Klazomenai](/en/yer/klazomenai). The two cities preserve different traces of work along the same coast.
