Originally excavated in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Andros island site of Zagora is famous for its well-preserved Early Iron Age settlement. These renewed excavations use cutting edge methodologies to better understand the site’s manufacturing and processing activities, hydrological infrastructure, and animal husbandry practices.

Directors: Professor Timothy E. Gregory (Ohio State University, USA), Dr Stavros Paspalas (AAIA; University of Sydney), and Dr Lita Tzortzopoulou-Gregory (AAIA).

The Australian Paliochora-Kythera Archaeological Survey (APKAS) investigates the diachronic development of the cultural landscape of northern Kythera from prehistoric times to the present. The project utilises surface survey, historical/archival sources and anthropological methods to address questions relating to site location, settlement patterns, and factors influencing occupation and site abandonment.Ìý

Prior to fieldwork, the Chalkidikian site of Torone was primarily known via ancient written sources as an Archaic-Classical polis, with some Hellenistic and later remains visible. These excavations extended its history back to the Final Neolithic and exposed Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods.

Director: Professor Alexander CambitoglouÌý(AAIA; University of Sydney).

Zagora is located on the western coast of the island of Andros. These original excavations revealed a uniquely preserved Early Iron Age settlement. Evidence suggests it was occupied 900-700 BCE, although its sanctuary was visited well into the fifth century BCE. Two final publication volumes to date have been produced:
