Standardized patterns in the ceramic craft at Early Bronze Age Helike, Achaea, Greece
Travelers in the Mediterranean
The island of Paros located in the centre of the Aegean Sea, emerged as an organized polis/state already in mid-8th century BC. Its geographical position favored early sea communications and foundation of colonies along the Mediterranean. In the article, I discuss the impressive phenomenon of itinerant Parians in the Mediterranean in relation to (a) the colonies founded by Paros in the Propontis, the North Aegean and the Adriatic Sea, (b) certain…
The Cult of Poseidon Helikonios
The cult of Poseidon Helikonios is associated with his primeval aspect of the powerful god of earthquakes and waters. His most antique cult in this capacity, dating from the Mycenaean times, originates from Helike of Achaea on the southwestern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, the place known to Homer as a centre of this worship. The sanctuary of Poseidon Helikonios located in Helike was the holiest for all Ionians; there were also located the ancien…
Earthquake-triggered landslides and mudflows
The destruction of Ancient Helike in 373 BC as reported by ancient Greek and Roman writers is inconsistent with modern evidence on the geological context. The classical view of a strong earthquake, similar to the 1817 M = 6.6 earthquake and followed by a giant tsunami wave that permanently inundated the ruined city does not stand up to modern scrutiny. Evidence for co-seismic slip on the Helike Fault at that time and for a corresponding tsunami h…
Diet at ancient Helike, Achaea, Greece based on stable isotope analysis
Methods for developing 3D visualizations of archaeological data
The Digital Helike Project aims at the digitization of archaeological data from the Helike Project, Achaia, Greece. This paper advances understanding of Early Bronze Age house building techniques with focus on corridor houses. The Helike Corridor House is a fine example of an architectural style of the Early Helladic period EH II/Early EH III on the Greek mainland and it is used here as a case study. A methodology for 3D reconstruction is describ…
Mainland Cosmopolitanism and the Rise of Personal Prestige
Excavations carried out by The Helike Project in the Helike plain on the south-western coast of the Gulf of Corinth, north-west Peloponnese, since 2000, have brought to light the well-preserved remains of a coastal Early Helladic (EH) II–III settlement. The site developed as a densely organised settlement during the EH II period and underwent a major architectural transformation at the beginning of the following EH III. In addition to a reorganis…
New Sediment Cores Reveal Environmental Changes Driven by Tectonic Processes at Ancient Helike, Greece
According to various historical sources an earthquake and an associated tsunami wiped out the Greek city of Helike on the Gulf of Corinth in 373 B.C. This study combines stratigraphical data from a new series of sediment cores with archaeological findings of the Helike Project to better assess the fate of Helike. Abrupt lithological changes, for example, from coarse‐grained littoral facies at the base to fine‐grained lagoonal deposits, in three o…
Submergence and uplift of settlements in the area of Helike, Greece, from the Early Bronze Age to late antiquity
Excavations in the Helike Delta on the Gulf of Corinth have brought to light architectural remains from the Early Bronze Age (EBA), Geometric, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Borehole results suggest that a lagoon intermittently occupied much of the delta during the Holocene. We discovered a well‐preserved EBA settlement about 1km inland from the present shore, buried under 3 to 5m of fine sediments containing marine, bracki…
Tracing a major Roman road in the area of ancient Helike by resistivity tomography
In his journey through Achaea in the second century AD , Pausanias mentioned the destroyed Classical site of Helike on the sea and noted that its ruins were still visible underwater near the southwest shore of the Corinthian Gulf. In 2001, the Helike Project excavators discovered on the coastal plain of Helike southeast of Aigion the first ruins of Classical buildings, buried under lagoon sediments 3 m deep. They also found segments of a major Ro…
Occupation horizons found in the search for the ancient Greek city of Helike
In 373 B.C. an earthquake and seismic sea wave destroyed and submerged Helike, the principal Greek city on the southwestern shore of the Gulf of Corinth. Our sonar survey of the seafloor in the area where ancient sources located Helike, southeast of Aigion, showed no evidence of a submerged city. We concluded that the site must now lie in the alluvial deposits of the adjacent coastal plain. Accordingly, we used bore hole drilling and geophysical …
Locating Archaeological Horizons with 14 C Sediment Dating
In 373 bc a catastrophic earthquake and seismic sea wave destroyed Helike, a Greek city near Aigion on the southern shore of the Gulf of Corinth. The ruins were buried by sediments of unknown depth, leaving no trace of the city. We here discuss the radiocarbon dating of organic sediment samples recovered from seven boreholes drilled on the coastal plain in the area where ancient sources located Helike. Most of the samples apparently acquired a su…
