A Wall

The Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project season has finally let up and I can get back to reporting a bit on our work. It was perhaps the most successful season to date. Our field teams were amazing, our trench supervisors independent and brilliant, and my colleague and friend David Pettegrew steered the project clear of any serious methodological problems.

The wall that I reported on two weeks ago, manifest itself splendidly. Here it is in final photographs with just a bit of enhancement.

A slab lined pit stood against the wall to the south and I have outlines some of the neatly cut slabs. The pit and the wall appear to be Hellenistic in date and the architecture, ceramics, and small finds are all very impressive indeed.

More as I recover from the season.
