KYLLINI Kyllini Harbour Project - 2007

Kyllini Harbour Project. J. Pakkanen (Finnish Institute/London) and K. Preka-Alexandri (EMA) report on a new study of the coastal and underwater remains of this anc. naval base and Crusader harbour, the principal installations of which are today partially submerged and well preserved.
Fieldwork in 2007 focused on mapping the coastal and archaeological features both on dry land and in the sea, and cleaning the partially submerged features. Marine geomorphological studies were begun by G. Papatheodorou and M. Geraga (Patras): marine surveying techniques employed were subbottom profiler and side-scan sonar.
Survey revealed 3 possible entrance-ways to the currently silted harbour basin: recorded features include, in addition to moles, breakwaters, quays, and several possible towers.
