SKOTEINO CAVE, Lendas - 2008

Skoteino cave, Lendas (Lebena). L. Tyree (ASCSA), A. Kanta (Herakleion Museum) and C. Davaras (Athens) continued the preparation for publication of the material from Davaras’ 1962 excavations in the cave.
Over 3 seasons, the natural and cultural features in the cave have been planned conventionally, complemented by 3-D laser scanning to capture the complex physiography of the cave interior. On-site documentation includes geological and speleological observations as well as ambient atmospheric measurements. The fieldwork and study of the excavated material aims to understand the physical, historical and cultural uses of the cave from antiquity to mod. times.
