Amarynthos 2022: After six weeks of excavation followed one week of documentation (photography, stratigraphical drawings, topographical measurements, description of structures) and micromorphological sampling. For the later, the Swiss-Greek team cooperates with the Wiener Laboratory at Athens. Samples of the stratigraphies are taken to the lab and studied under a microscope, which allows much more detailed insights into the sequence of activities and events that took place on the site. ...

Welcome to the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece

Since 1964, Swiss archaeologists have been exploring the ancient city of Eretria, on the island of Euboea. More recently, excavations near Amarynthos have led to the discovery of the Sanctuary of Artemis, the most renowned place of cult of the Eretrians.
The School also supports Swiss archaeological projects elsewhere in Greece.
