Lefkandi-Xeropolis Excavation 2011-2013: Season 2012
Excavation: Research excavation
Irene Lemos reports on continuing study of stratigraphy and portable finds. In Area M, the latest phases in the area of the LH IIIC Megara were restored, with analysis of Late Geometric and Sub-Geometric walls and structures. In the East Sector the latest activity dates to the Late Geometric period, when two pits were cut in the eastern part of the area investigated. This sector was also occupied in Late Helladic IIIC, probably during the later stages. Two houses/structures are assigned to this period, and a street may have run east–west to the north of them. In the South West Area of Region I (which is badly eroded and damaged by ploughing), study confirmed the presence of Iron Age structures, notable Early/Middle Protogeometric deposits associated with an apsidal wall and a pit. Study of small finds from Region I focused on stone and metals, noting also faience, glass, bone and shell.
