The Survey of Thisve, Geophysical survey 2006-2007
During a 4-week season a team continued to record all visible features of the urban site of Ancient Thisve and Byzantine Kastorion. The Ephoreias resumed and extended the cleaning of the upstanding fortifications (Mycenean to Frankish) and of Byzantine churches, while also continuing the search for architectural sculpture and defining the limits of the conservation area. Resistivity survey was carried out at the sites of four visible monuments all churches (constituting three survey areas), to further explore their ground-plans and immediate contexts: 'Agia Triada', 'Agios Loukas'. Two EDMs were used to create a new topographical map of the Lower Acropolis ('Neokastro') and of Ancient Thisve's two rock-cut necropoles; to record the multi-phase Upper Acropolis ('Palaiokastro'); to complete the survey of remains of the intermediate city walls; and to correct any imperfections detected in the previous year's results.
Active from 2006 to 2007.
