The Zea harbour project: preliminary report 2007-2008

Abstract

The Zea Harbour Project (ZHP) is a collaboration between the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities, the 26th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, the Danish Institute at Athens and the University of Southern Denmark. Its objectives are to investigate the ancient naval installations and harbour and coastal fortifications in and around the harbours of Zea and Mikrolimano (ancient Mounichia). In 2007, ZHP conducted underwater excavations in Zea and land surveys on Koumoundourou Hill, south of Mounichia. In 2008, ZHP conducted underwater excavations in the harbours of both Zea and Mounichia.
