The Amykles Survey Project

Results of the 2024 Season

Abstract

In 2024, archaeological fieldwork – including remote sensing, a geophysical survey, and a pedestrian survey – was carried out in the Eurotas Valley, in the area traditionally associated with ancient Amyklai. The investigations revealed archaeological evidence of diachronic human presence in the area, spanning from at least the Early Helladic period to the Roman era. Most notably, a site with evidence of both dwelling and production areas supports the hypothesis of a post-prehistoric settlement in this part of the valley. In addition, extant features that may be interpreted as Late Bronze Age burials further reinforce the idea that this area was among the most densely settled of the Eurotas Valley in antiquity.
