This volume
Following a first 5-year programme between 2007 and 2011 and three earlier preliminary reports published as Aegis 1,4 and 6, the Belgian School at Athens returned to Sissi in 2015. This volume describes the results of the 2015 and 2016 campaigns, in part concentrating on the remains of a large, Neopalatial monumental complex with Central Court, which was initially recognised in 2011. There are also reports on the continuing exploration of the Cemetery and on tests conducted around/in the immediate vicinity of Postpalatial Building CD. In addition, chapters dealing with the geophysical exploration and geomorphology of the hill and region are presented, as is a presentation on how architectural remains are recorded. Preliminary studies of ceramic assemblages of the Prepalatial and Neopalatial periods are also included.
