We’ve been given approval by the Greek Ministry of Culture to return to Zagora for another archaeological season – from 23 September to 1 November 2013.
This is wonderful news for us all, and the team leaders, Professor Meg Miller, Dr Lesley Beaumont and Dr Stavros Paspalas, are busy arranging everything for a return this year.

They have selected the team, including volunteers, for the 2013 season, and have commenced all the arrangements for travel and accommodation of the team and the gear which needs to be transported – including a Total Station. They have reviewed the findings from last year, and selected trench supervisors for the areas to be excavated this year. Initial meetings and information sessions have been held with those who will be participating.
