Abstract
In 1967 N. C. Flemming of the Institute of Oceanography discovered a submerged settlement, probably of the Bronze Age, off the south coast of Laconia opposite Elaphonisos Island. The following year the Cambridge Underwater Exploration Group formed an expedition to investigate the site. The main aims of the expedition were:1. To survey the visible remains of the site in order to produce the plan of a prehistoric town on a larger scale than is possible on land, where the time and cost of excavation are normally prohibitive.2. To investigate sea- and land-level changes in the area, in particular by seeking traces of old shore-lines or of harbour-works.3. To experiment with methods of planning extensive remains underwater, and especially with photography from a balloon.
