Call for participation in the Thorikos Archaeological Project |
 |
The Thorikos Archaeological Project (Belgian School at Athens, dir. Prof. Roald Docter) welcomes applications from volunteers to participate in the 2019 campaign of the prehistoric team (under the supervision of Sylviane Déderix, Nikos Papadimitriou and Robert Laffineur). The site of Thorikos extends over the slopes of the Velatouri, a high double peaked hill along the east coast of the Lavrion (SE Attica, Greece). |
|
On current evidence, Thorikos appears to be the main Bronze Age site of the Lavrion, a region that was of strategic importance due to its metal resources. The 2019 campaign, which will take place between August 19 and September 7, will focus on: 1) the study of unpublished excavation remains, 2) the cleaning and 3D documentation of the prehistoric tombs, 3) the survey of the north and west slopes of the hill, and 4) geophysical and geochemical prospections of targeted sectors of the site. Volunteers will be involved in the surface survey, the cleaning of the tombs, and the cleaning and processing of the finds. Volunteers are sought for a period of two weeks (August 19-31) or three weeks (August 19-September 7) – Monday through Saturday in both cases. Accommodation (in shared rooms) will be covered by the project. Deadline for application: June 25 – please, send a CV and a cover letter. For further information and application, please contact Sylviane Déderix (sylviane.dederix@gmail.com). Sylviane Déderix, Nikos Papadimitriou & Robert Laffineur |
