VIA EGNATIA - 2008

Via Egnatia. D. Kaimari (Aristotelian University, Thessaloniki), in association with G. Karadedos, O. Georgoula and P. Patias, reports on the use of satellite technology to trace the route of the Via Egnatia and to identify likely archaeological sites along it, which were then tested with trial trenches. The 45km stretch from Amphipolis to Philippoi was traced in detail and 300 new sites identified along the length of the road.
