A large archaeological/archaeometrical enterprise has been initiated since 1991. Dozens of Boreholes scanned the coastal area of Aegialia, geophysical prospection has been carried out, sonar surveys have been made offshore, trial excavation has been executed, while C-14 dating on sediment (wood, plants) and luminescence dating on tiny ceramic sherds extracted from the bore holes has been performed. | | Page: | | 118-123 | | JSTOR: | | http://www.jstor.org/stable/4300156 |
