A Newly Discovered Middle Helladic Settlement in the Trapeza Area near Aigion (Achaea, Greece). The Materials from the Survey

Abstract

A new Bronze Age site has been discovered near the Trapeza Hill, 7 km inland from Aigion (eastern Achaea, Greece). Ongoing research has thus far revealed a multi-phase settlement covering the Middle Helladic (MH) period and the transitional phase up until the Late Helladic (LH). Investigations since 2013 have included the collection of surface material, as well as the excavation of two trenches. This contribution presents the study conducted on the pottery and small finds recovered from the surface survey in order to outline an initial cultural and chronological framework of the settlement.
