Abstract: | A summary of the first excavation season in Section ΒΚ, an area beneath a building demolished in the fall of 2022. Prior the excavation a geophysical survey was undertaken. Several features were revealed, such as foundation walls and pits, and Modern, Ottoman, and Byzantine contexts were excavated. All material was collected and kept (pottery, bone, shells, etc.), and all soil was dry sieved and flotation samples and phytolith samples were taken for each context. The pottery was sorted and read by experts. Aerial photography was performed regularly and photogrammetry models were created. In addition, a Geomatics study was conducted in order to produce a model of the Hephaisteion, and a study of the ancient DNA from burials in the Agora was initiated. | |
