Abstract
The site of Ayios Stephanos, a low hill at the NW. edge of the coastal plain in southern Laconia, was excavated in 1959, 1960, 1963, 1973, 1974, and 1977, under the direction of Lord William Taylour, and the auspices of the British School at Athens. The excavations have revealed a prehistoric settlement directly overlain by medieval buildings. Pottery of this latter period is difficult to date, but fortunately study of the numismatic evidence yields a terminus post quern in the mid thirteenth century, and the coins continue to c.1320 a.d. There was no subsequent occupation of the site. Since the medieval coins are of some historical and numismatic interest, the excavator has agreed that this article should appear in advance of the main publication of the site.
