KOILADA - 2015

Koilada Bay. A. Simosi (EMA) and K. Reber (ESAG/Geneva) report further survey of the extensive (ca. 1.2ha) third-millenium BC settlement located in 2014 off the coast of Labogiannas. The coastal site (now submerged to a depth of 1-3m) was fortified: a section of the wall has been traced, along with at least three very large (18 x 10m) horseshoe-shaped foundations which may be towers.

Foundations of a number of buildings were found, of all the characteristic Early Helladic types (orthogonal, round and apsidal), as well as paved areas probably of roads. Finds include Early Helladic II pottery, many stone tools and obsidian blades.
