Kotroni - Kotroni Archaeological Survey Project (KASP) - 2023

Attica - Athens - Kotroni. Anastasia Dakouri-Hild (University of Virginia) and Stephen Davies (University College Dublin) report on the final season of the Kotroni Archaeological Survey Project (KASP), under the supervision of the Ephorate of Antiquities of East Attica and the IIHSA.

In 2023, the project completed its programme of geophysical prospection: first, in the area of the tumulus excavated in 1894, to explore whether nearby knolls could conceal additional funerary mounds, and, second, in the area of the prehistoric site surveyed in 2021, which yielded Middle and Late Bronze Age ceramics. Although the use of magnetometry revealed some archaeological features, the later agricultural use of the area hindered the work.
