I am only just beginning my student journey into the field of archaeology and must say that I get quite excited about looking into the different cultures and the way they lived. I love your website and I hope in the future if I ever get the chance I will certainly visit.

Do you allow volunteers on your dig? I would be very interested.

Dear all,

Thank you for your valuable comments. @ Deepak K Nair: We excavate by using the German excavation technique in contrast to the English single context recording system. We excavate in layers and we assign group numbers (a group of common features, either in soil, or finds). Which flags do you mean?

@ dex: Since the excavation is made by a Greek team and recording is done only in Greek is difficult to recruit non-Greek speaking people…However, everyone is more tahn welcome to visit the site!

This is a wonderful site and the photos from the field notes are amazing. As a student of archaeology I am interested in Excavation techniques also. I was wondering over the use of small flags in the trenches. Would you please clarify why these flags are used. Besides how the matrix is made in the excavation method used in this project.

This website is absolutly amazing! I never thought I would be able to get a taste of a dig on Crete without setting foot on the island. The information given is utterly facinating and I can’t wait to see more! Thank you and best of luck!

As a natural dyer, I have been fascinated by ancient peoples and their colors. Crete has long been a dream to visit, and to see excavations such as pictured here would be wonderful!
