The Olynthos Project Field Survey 2014-2019
A field survey was conducted with the twin aims of gaining a better understanding of the functional and chronological distribution of artefacts over the North Hill, South Hill, and Eastern Slope. Fieldwalking yielded information about the landscape east of the North Hill of the ancient city. One of the clearest results was the discovery of a high density of artefacts in fields near Agios Nikolaos, a church dating from the 12th century and excavated by Robinson. Slag, misfired potsherds, loom weights, a brick mould and fired clay were all noted here, although this evidence remains tentative until verified by further study. Density decreased as the slope diminished, suggesting that in this part of the city the boundary lay at the bottom of the slope. 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.
Active from 2014 to 2019.
