ATTENTION:
Unfortunately because of the recent events in the Middle East, Dr. Lita Tzortzopoulou-Gregory is unable to travel to Australia to present 'The Australian Paliochora-Kythera Archaeology Survey: final results' previously scheduled for March 18 at the Vere Gordon Childe Centre Boardroom, The University of Sydney. We hope to reschedule the lecture for later this year and will let you know when the new date is set.
Founded in 1999, the Australian Paliochora–Kythera Archaeological Survey (APKAS) is one of the most ambitious landscape-based archaeological projects on Kythera. Completed in 2025 and preparing for final publication in 2026, the project adopted a fully diachronic approach, tracing human activity in northern Kythera from deep prehistory to the present. This lecture outlines APKAS’s aims, methods and key discoveries, showing how intensive field survey, archival research and oral histories combine to reveal long-term patterns of settlement, land use, mobility and ritual practice.
Presented by Lita Tzortzopoulou-Gregory, co-director of APKAS alongside Timothy Gregory and Stavros Paspalas, and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney.
