The Olynthos Project Field Survey 2014-2019: Season 2017
Survey: Systematic fieldwalking survey
Aims for the wider study area were continued investigation of the character and density of settlement in different areas, including evidence for nonresidential activity (industrial, mortuary, religious, etc.) and exploration of the extent of the settlement and the nature of the boundary between the urban centre and its hinterland. In the hinterland, field walkers covered an area of 1.19 km2 in 2017. Collection focused on the area to the north of the North Hill. Field survey around the city revealed an area of dense occupation to the east of the South Hill, a limited area southeast of the South Hill yielding high concentrations of material (comprising Late Roman and Byzantine as well as the usual Classical pottery). The northern edge of the study area showed more limited and less dense evidence.
