Abstract

The underwater site of Pavlopetri has most recently been investigated by the joint project of the Ephoreia for Underwater Archaeology and the British School at Athens which conducted field seasons in 2009, 2010 and 2011. In addition to a survey of the visible building remains using state of the art surveying methods, surface artefacts were collected from across the site and two small trials were also excavated. The unstratified pottery, often severely abraded and worn, has nevertheless revealed evidence for links both with nearby sites, such as Epidavros Limera, those on Kythera and Ayios Stephanos, and with areas further afield such as Crete and central Greece. This paper reports on a selection of finds dating from early Middle Helladic to Late Helladic II and discusses their contribution to our understanding of the period.
