The Pavlopetri Underwater Archaeological Project 2009-2011
Research programme:
The aim of the excavation was to outline the history and development of the submerged town of Pavlopetri. E. Spondylis supervised the recording of beach rock at the area of Pikri-Magganos and identified submerged cuttings along Pavlopetri island.Oceanographic research conducted by Dr Dimitris Sakellariou who employed three acoustic technologies — high resolution swath bathymetry, side-scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling — to reconstruct the ancient shoreline and the geomorphology of the seabed between Elaphonisos and Viglafia. In 2011 the whole extent of the submerged site (some 8 hectares) was surveyed using a stereo-photogrammetric Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) deployed by a team from the Australian Centre for Field Robotics. A full photo-realistic record of the site has been made, and the data are now being stitched together to build a complete 3-D model of the submerged town.
Active from 2008 to 2011.
