Ptolemais is a town and a former municipality in Kozani regional unit, West Greece.
During the Ottoman period, the city was named Kaylar, rendered into English as Kailar this name was retained in Greek as Kailaria until 1927.Kailar refers to the Kayı tribe, the tribe of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. The modern name Ptolemaida was introduced by decree on January 20, 1927, honoring Ptolemy son of Lagus, a comrade-in-arms of Alexander the Great, and his daughter Ptolemaïs, who are said to originate from that region.His statue stands in the central square of the city.According to archaeologists, the Ptolemaida region has been occupied since 6000 BC.Archaeologists, in November 2005, discovered the remains of two farming villages dating back to the Neolithic period. A press report notes that such farming villages were trading centres and had a "developed knowledge of metalworking". A golden necklace dating to roughly 4500 BC was discovered on February 16, 2006.Associated Press reporter Costas Kantouris describes the item as a "flat, roughly ring-shaped which probably had religious significance and would have been worn on a necklace by a prominent member of society." Lately in the lake Zazari near Ptolemaida there were found 16 houses that belong in the Neolithic era due to archaaeologists. These houses were in the lake and were exposed because of the decreased water level of the lake. That particular small settlement gives information about the society and the people in the Neolithic era.
