Nautical Archaeological Society discussion on Pavlopetri
Chrysanthi Gallou, Associate Professor of Archaeology at the University of Nottingham, will be joining Dr Jon Jon Henderson, Chancellors Fellow in Global Challenges at the University of Edinburgh and Dr Nic Flemming from the National Oceanography Centre to discuss their shared research on Pavlopetri, a submerged Bronze Age town.
Pavlopetri, off the coast of Laconia, Greece, is often referred to as the oldest submerged town in the world with remains dating from at least 3,500 BC through to the end of the Mycenaean period c.1,100 BC. Underwater research over the past decade has traced structures over 8 hectares of the seabed consisting of intact domestic buildings, larger public constructions, courtyards, streets, funerary structures, graves and rock-cut tombs. As the current project nears completion, this talk will review the remains recorded underwater, how they came to be submerged and the nature of occupation at the site during the Aegean Bronze Age.
The chat is a post-event discussion, following a longer talk by Jon. The event is hosted by the Nautical Archaeological Society and is part of a webinar series supported by the Honor Frost Foundation.
