On Monday October 28th the Zagora Archaeological Project as part of its community outreach and engagement, held a public open day event. We were very gratified to receive and welcome approximately seventy people on a lovely autumn afternoon.
Our visitors were a mix of residents from across Andros, encompassing children, teenagers, adults of all ages and several pet dogs, and tourists to the island. We were pleased to have a number of familiar faces from Batsi and Chora who were curious to see what the Australian archaeologists have been doing all these weeks!
After providing some background of the site, past excavations and the aims for the 2024 field season, Co-director Lesley Beaumont led a tour, after which visitors were able to observe some of the current work taking place this field season and even chat to our archaeologists and trench supervisors.
We have made many friends over the years in Andros and we hope we have added new ones this field season. We value their support for the Project and thank all our visitors for making the afternoon a huge success.
