GREECE

March/April 2016

World Roundup GreeceGREECE: It can be surprising to think of Greece outside of the context of the classical world, but it has clearly been occupied for ages. The recent excavation of the site of Marathousa 1 has revealed exceptionally preserved animal remains and stone tools from roughly 300,000 to 600,000 years ago, including the butchered remains of a Palaeoloxodon antiquus, a straight-tusked elephant that could grow up to 13 feet tall. —Samir S.
