Adela touches on the satellite remote sensing work she did at Zagora with her colleague, Petra Janouchova. Her post portrays the hard work but also the great fun that can be had in archaeology.
And congratulations to Adela and her partner, Shawn Ross, on the birth of their baby, Vivienne, in December.
An important aspect of the Zagora Archaeological Project is engagement with the local communities in which we work.
As members of the Zagora Archaeological Project we are warmly welcomed each field season by the Andriot community. We are grateful for this welcome and also acknowledge that we have been afforded a great privilege by the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sport to work at Zagora.
This week we were very fortunate to welcome a number of special visitors to Zagora. The Director of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens (AAIA) Professor Tamar Hodos and Administrative Assistant Mrs Panagiota Korompli of the Athens office visited on Tuesday. On Wednesday we welcomed Australia’s Ambassador to Greece, Her Excellency Alison Duncan and Mr Richard Palmer. On Friday we received a visit by eminent retired archaeologist Professor Ze’ev Herzog accompanied by his son.
