| Summary |
The
Sphakia Survey is an interdisciplinary archaeological project
whose main objective is to reconstruct the sequence of human
activity in a remote and rugged part of Crete (Greece),
from the time that people arrived in the area, by ca 3000
BC, until the end of Ottoman rule in AD 1900. Our research
covers three major epochs, Prehistoric, Graeco-Roman, and
Byzantine-Venetian-Turkish, and has involved the work of
many people using environmental, archaeological, documentary,
and local information. |
