Melos Survey 2002
Fieldwork:
The aim of the 2002 Melos Survey was to undertake a field-walking survey, to locate sites where industrial minerals were mined and processed, particularly in the Classical/Roman period. The survey produced an unexpectedly rich level of information. (a) an important site on the western sector of Paleochori bay, perhaps the industrial sector of the emporia at Paleochori, (b) a villa site with fine wares beside a locality where five fragments of the so-called sulphur moulds, with the stylised ivy leaf and initials (of the Athenians), were found; (c) a further possible special purpose site, previously unrecorded; and (d) the abundance of obsidian scatters denoting sites dating potentially to the Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age.
Active in 2002.
