We are looking to get a better idea of function, ancillary structures, and date/use phases, working with the #Cycladic Ephoreia & #Greek Ministry of Culture who are completing small-scale #excavation alongside. /2 🏺 🗃️

#Archaeological sites in this area are vanishing rapidly under enormous development & tourism pressure, so this is also a key opportunity to document cultural heritage landscapes under threat. /3 🏺 🗃️

We are pioneering the use of certain approaches in this region. #Geophysics is rarely - if ever - used on #Cycladic #islands, and this might be the first time on Paros. Results will help inform future work in the area. /4 🏺 🗃️

Systematic study of surface material is revealing lengthy diachronic use of the tower area, from #Archaic (ca. 8th c. BCE) through #Classical, #Hellenistic, #Roman and #Byzantine. /fin
