Lidar-led fieldwork in the Eretria-Amarynthos Survey Project (Euboea, Greece)
This paper provides a brief overview of lidar research developed in the framework of the Eretria-Amarynthos Survey Project (EASP). Over the course of four field seasons, the implementation of lidar-based remote sensing and ground-truthing has become an integral part of the examination of archaeological landscapes, resulting in significant advances in fieldwork practices, survey methodology, and data recording. We argue here that lidar holds great…
Athens and the Aegean
Athens and the Aegean were at the centre of the economic life of the Greek world in the late archaic and classical period. Like the other cities of the Aegean, Athens actively exploited its territory, but the specific characteristic of its economy was the presence of the Laurium mines, which gave it an unbeatable natural advantage over the other players. In the Hellenistic period, the Aegean cities were only one of the many players on the interna…
The Destruction of Cities in the Ancient Greek World: Integrating the Archaeological and Literary Evidence
From the Trojan War to the sack of Rome, from the fall of Constantinople to the bombings of World War II and the recent devastation of Syrian towns, the destruction of cities and the slaughter of civilian populations are among the most dramatic events in world history. But how reliable are literary sources for these events? Did ancient authors exaggerate the scale of destruction to create sensational narratives? This volume reassesses the impact …

The Fortress of Eleutherai: New Insights from Survey, Architecture, and Epigraphy
The fortress at Eleutherai is an iconic example of ancient Greek military architecture. Our knowledge of the site, however, is limited by several problems related to its date, construction, function, and identity. The Mazi Archaeological Project has undertaken a detailed, multicomponent study of the fortress and its surroundings using a combination of intensive field survey, architectural mapping, and photogrammetry. A new architectural plan clar…

Recent research at the Sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia in Amarynthos (Euboea)
The Sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia in Amarynthos was the most renowned shrine of the Eretrian polis, and its annual festival, the Artemisia, drew large crowds from Euboea and beyond. Yet, despite its regional fame and prominence, its remains have eluded archaeological identification. As a result, the location of the Artemision has been a vexed question in Euboean studies for over a century. Between 2003 and 2007, however, a new impetus was given t…
La Nécropole du Canal à Érétrie: Topographie et inscriptions
L’automne 2009 vit de violentes pluies s’abattre sur l’Eubée. À Érétrie, plusieurs tombes et stèles funéraires apparurent dans le lit du ruisseau bordant le site à l’Ouest. Ces découvertes apportent un éclairage bienvenu sur les nécropoles érétriennes, encore mal connues. Par ailleurs, plusieurs murs antiques furent documentés : si certains s’apparentent aux murs du canal archaïque déjà relevés à la Porte de l’Ouest, d’autres datent de l’époque c…
A decade of research on Greek fortifications
The Chronique des fouilles en ligne – Archaeology in Greece Online has recorded close to 300 field operations dealing with fortifications in the last decade. It is impossible to account for each of them in this brief survey, but the reader can effortlessly find them in the database ( http://chronique.efa.gr/ ). Here, instead, I wish to focus on the main achievements of the last decade (2006–2016) by reviewing the major publications, recording cur…
