ABSTRACT

This report presents the results of a survey in inland Epirus (NW Greece). Although visibility for ground survey was in general low due to the abandonment of fields and the re-growth of thick vegetation cover, various locations suitable for further investigation have been identified. The artefacts recovered in the investigated areas represent both prehistoric and historical cultural periods. The cultural attribution of the artefacts is supported by radiocarbon dates obtained from selected charcoal samples.
