EEN SURVEY IN DE VLAKTE VAN SOÚRPI
Samenvatting
The archaeological survey in the territory of the Hellenistic city of New Halos (Thessaly, Greece) was continued in 1994. From June 15th until August 10th a group of archaeologists and students of Groningen University surveyed the Soúrpi plain. Although weather conditions were not favourable for a survey, a large area was covered and 55 sites were mapped and documented, including a Mid-Neolithic site and three MidBronze-Age dwelling mounds. Also sites from Archaic and Classical-Hellenistic times and the Late Roman period were discovered. The area flourished in the 12th century AD and many sites from this period were mapped, as well as two Turkish and one Greek border fort from the 1832-1881 period, when the border between the Greek Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire followed the river Salamvrjas in the Soúrpi plain.
