Presenting the members of the Amarynthos team 3/20: Prof. Denis Knoepfler, University of Neuchâtel and Collège de France. He came first in 1966 to Eretria and was interested since then in finding the sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia at Amarynthos. In his groundbreaking 1988 article in the Comptes Rendus des Séances de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres (Paris) he argued for a location near the Paleoekklisies hill, where the ESAG and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Euboea finally launched excavations in 2006 and identified in 2017 the sanctuary. It is thanks to his research that the site has been found and he is following each campaign on site, more than 50 years after his first Euboean ventures. Prof. Knoepfler studies the epigraphic finds. ... See MoreSee Less

Presenting the members of the Amarynthos team 2/20: Harry Giannoulopoulos, restorer. In fact, he started to work for the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece exactly ten years ago, on January 15 2013. We congratulate him and thank him for his great work, in the lab but also in the field at Amarynthos for the consolidation of fragile artefacts like bronze shields. We could no longer imagine the Eretria museum without him and his famous tea breaks at 10. For the restoration of the numerous finds from the sanctuary of Amarynthos, he coordinates currently a team of six further restorers. ... See MoreSee Less

Καλώς ήρθατε στην Ελβετική Αρχαιολογική Σχολή στην Ελλάδα

Από το 1964, Ελβετοί αρχαιολόγοι διεξάγουν έρευνες στην αρχαία πόλη της Ερέτριας, στην Εύβοια. Πιο πρόσφατα, ανασκαφές κοντά στην Αμάρυνθο οδήγησαν στην ανακάλυψη του Ιερού της Αρτέμιδος, του πιο γνωστού τόπου λατρείας των Ερετριέων.
Ταυτόχρονα, υπό την αιγίδα της Σχολής πραγματοποιούνται ελβετικές αρχαιολογικές έρευνες και σε άλλες περιοχές της Ελλάδας.
