Triphylia. J. Heiden (DAI) reports on the fifth season of fieldwork. The 1:1000 city plans of Samikon, Platiana and Vrestos made in 2009 were reviewed and additional detailed records, usually of city walls, produced at 1:50 (Fig. 1).   At Samikon, surface pottery mostly of Hellenistic date, six loomweights and a fourth-century BC Elean coin depicting a horse were found. It seems likely that Samikon was a new foundation of the Triphylian League.   In the fortification...

Triphylia. J. Heiden (DAI) reports on the fourth campaign of study at ancient Triphylia. Resistivity survey at Makistos revealed a rectilinear grid which may be the street system of a Classical polis. A main street and a narrower side street are visible.

Tower 6, east of the acropolis, was recorded. No pre-fourth- century...

Triphylia. J. Heiden (DAI) and C. Rohn (FH Wiesbaden) report on the 3rd campaign of study of anc. Triphylia. Plans of Samikon, Platiana, Lepreon and Vrestos were made at 1:2,000 scale.

Finds from older excavations at Samikon, Platiana, Lepreon and Vrestos (from both systematic excavation and cleaning by the Archaeological Service before 2002) were...
