The 2015 KAMBE field season ran from June 1 through July 7 and involved geophysical survey and excavation work at both Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios (K-AD) and Maroni-Vournes. This year we had a UBC field school and several Cornell students join the team. You can get a sense of the UBC students’ experiences on the project by […]
A short season was held from June 9-July 6. Work included additional geophysical survey using GPR at Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitros by Katie Kearns, Jeff Leon, and Thomas Urban. This year saw the use of an EM-conductivity meter in an effort to detect signatures of possible activities (e.g., metallurgy, feasting, etc.) inside Building XVI (report forthcoming). Sheri […]
A short (4-week) season was held in June 2013 in order to collect additional geophysical data and continue refining aspects the survey methodology. A small KAMBE team conducted geophysical survey at both Kalavasos-Ayios Dhimitrios and Maroni-Vournes/Tsaroukkas, aimed at both expanding coverage with the FM256 gradient magnetometer and performing targeted GPR survey with a Sensors and Software […]
Our most ambitious field season ran from June 6 through July 28, 2012 and involved the participation of over 30 people, including the University of Arkansas’s Archaeological Field School. Our team conducted work at four different sites, including our first excavations at both Maroni and Kalavasos. Processing of the new data is ongoing, but some brief, preliminary observations are presented here while more […]
With the promising results from 2010, we held a nearly five-week field season from May 25-June 28, 2011. The major work involved a continuation of data collection using archaeogeophysical survey in an effort to significantly expand our site coverage. Based on data from our previous two seasons on instrument effectiveness in particular soil conditions and […]
We held two 10-day seasons in June 2008 and March 2010 in order to assess the effectiveness of the various archaeogeophysical instruments under both dry (June) and relatively wet (March) environmental conditions.
