Author Description

Following a first 5-year programme between 2007 and 2011 and three earlier preliminary reports published as Aegis 1, 4 and 6, the Belgian School at Athens returned to Sissi in 2015. This volume describes the results of the 2015 and 2016 campaigns, in part concentrating on the remains of a large, Neopalatial monumental complex with Central Court, which was initially recognised in 2011. There are also reports on the continuing exploration of the Cemetery and on tests conducted around/in the immediate vicinity of Postpalatial Building CD. In addition, chapters dealing with the geophysical exploration and geomorphology of the hill and region are presented, as is a presentation on how architectural remains are recorded. Preliminary studies of ceramic assemblages of the Prepalatial and Neopalatial periods are also included.
