  • The Canal of Xerxes

    Open AccessB S J Isserlin, R E Jones et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2003References: 7

    This paper summarizes the results of the earlier phase (1991–8) of geoarchaeological investigations at the Canal of Xerxes in northern Greece and then presents the findings of recent work. Through the combination of geophysical survey and analysis of sediments obtained from bore holes drilled along the supposed course of the canal it was established in 1996 that at least in the central sector of the 2 km wide isthmus there was indeed a deeply bur…

  • Exploration of the Canal of Xerxes, Northern Greece

    Open AccessR E Jones, B S J Isserlin et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2000

    The Canal reputedly built on the orders of the Persian King Xerxes across a narrow isthmus in northern Greece to allow his fleet access into the Aegean in advance of the Persian invasion of Greece in the early fifth century BC must have been a remarkable engineering operation for its time. Yet apart from a depression in the central sector of the isthmus, almost nothing of this canal is visible today, nor are there visible remains of building stru…

  • The canal of Xerxes

    Open AccessB S J Isserlin, R E Jones et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1996References: 1

    The paper describes the continuation in 1993–4 of the investigation into the Canal of Xerxes in the Chalkidiki, N. Greece. Effort was concentrated in the central sector of the isthmus, where geophysical survey using seismic methods revealed a channel-like structure some 14–15 m below the present ground level. Encouraging support for the hypothesis that this structure is a canal came from the analysis of cores from two boreholes in the central sec…

  • The canal of Xerxes on the Mount Athos peninsula

    Open AccessB S J Isserlin, R E Jones et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1994References: 2

    The canal dug by Xerxes across the Mount Athos peninsula in preparation for his invasion of Greece is an important but little-known monument. Geophysical and topographical investigations begun in 1991–2 now suggest that its central section across high ground ran along a deep trench. Its features elsewhere remain to be determined

    Open AccessB S J Isserlin, W Culican et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1958Cited by: 1

    The ruins of the ancient Phoenician colony of Motya, well known to history as one of the three main Phoenician settlements in Sicily (Thucydides vi.2,6), are situated on the small island of Mozia (S. Pantaleo) within the shallow lagoon which stretches from Marsala towards Trapani. The city had an eventful history as one of the mainstays of Punic power in Sicily; but it was destroyed by Dionysius of Syracuse after an epic siege in 397 B.C., and th…
