Koukonesi (Κουκονήσι) is a smallisland, situated in the Moudros harbour, west ofPoliochne, on the island ofLemnos in theAegean Sea. The island is an importantarchaeological site. The best preserved settlements found on Koukonesi are from the MiddleBronze Age, 2000 BC—1650 BC.[1] The findings have shown that Koukonesi's inhabitants had close commercial relations withAsia Minor, other Aegean Sea islands and mainlandGreece.[2] Greek archaeologists also discoveredMycenaeanceramics of the late 13th century BC which may prove that a permanentsettlement was established around the epoch of theTrojan War.
