Sikyon Survey Project. Y. Lolos (Thessaly) reports on the 2009 study season (Fig. 1). Prehistoric pottery of all phases from Middle Neolithic to LHIIIC was found in small quantities mostly on the southeast edge of the plateau. A very little Geometric and Archaic pottery and small concentrations of Classical were also found on the plateau: the majority of sherds are Hellenistic and Roman. Most are coarse domestic ware: petrographic analysis shows that this fabric is a mixture of marl and terra...
Sikyon Survey Project. Y. Lolos (Thessaly) reports on the continuation of a multidisciplinary (archaeological, geophysical and geo-archaeological) survey of the plateau of anc. Sikyon. Since the project’s inception in 2004, intensive survey has covered some 86ha (of a total of 250ha) and geophysical survey 37ha; geo-archaeological study is almost complete. In 2007, 25ha were surveyed in 767 20m x 20m squares (Fig. 1). Artefact density varied significantly. On the upper plateau there were...

Kryoneri, Lechova Cave. L. Kormazopoulou, I. Zygouri and V. Papathanasiou (EPSNE) report fully on excavations previously noted (AR 50 [2003−2004], 19; citing also reports in press in ADelt B Chr [2000 and 2002]). The cave lies within the boundaries of anc. Sikyon, closest to anc. Titane. It is a single chamber, ca. 45m d.: an ESR date from stalactite samples (NCSR Democritos) of 12,800 years bp provides a control on the artificial widening of the entrance for human use. Destruction of...
