Public lecture Lefkandi in Euboea: Past and Recent Archaeological Research, by University of Oxford Professor and Director of the Excavations at Lefkandi, Irene Lemos will be given at Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens (AAIA).
The site of Lefkandi has offered much to the archaeology of the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age in the Aegean. The amazing discoveries made by teams of archaeologists at the site have changed our perspectives of the period from 1200 to 700 BC.
Was this an exceptional site whose wealth and complex social organisation was indeed unrivalled or is it because of the modern archaeological research that we can gain a glimpse of one of the less known periods in ancient Greece?
The entrance is free.
When: Wednesday 30 July at 6.30pm
Where: CCANESA Boardroom, L4 Madsen Building, University of Sydney
