CURRENT PROJECTS
Cornell Halai
and East Lokris Project (CHELP)[director]. Archaeological excavation
and survey at and around Halai in East Lokris, Greece (1986-present). Halai
was an important settlement of the Neolithic period, to which about one-half
of our efforts are devoted. In Archaic times it was refounded as a small
polis with a fortified acropolis built over the Neolithic mound. The site
also has important levels of the Hellenistic and Late Roman (5th-6th centuries)
periods. To date more than 200 North Americans have participated in excavations
and research and one Ph.D. and six M.A. theses have been produced on various
aspects of the work. Excavation and preliminary conservation of the Neolithic
levels was completed in 1999 and work now proceeds on a final publication.
In 1988-89 survey and magnetometry also took place at Mitrou, an important
Bronze Age site (EH through Geometric; results as yet officially unpublished
but see the projectís web page at http:halai.fac.cornell.edu) within the
projectís survey area. Further major work at Mitrou is under consideration.
