STYMPHALOS - 2008

Stymphalos. H. Williams (Canadian Institute/British Columbia) reports on continuing study of the pottery, lamps and figurines from the 1994-2005 excavations, and on the preparation of an exhibition for the new 19th Ct folk-life museum being built by the Piraeus Bank Foundation near the lake. In June 2009, deep cores were drilled in and around the lake as part of a project to study the geomorphological history of the area. Taken with smaller cores recovered in 2007, these offer much promising material on the environmental history of the site through the past millennia.
