Hans Peter Isler (02.10.1941–19.04.2026)
Hans Peter Isler, emeritus professor of Classical archaeology at the University of Zurich, passed away recently. A leading figure in Swiss Classical archaeology, he devoted much of his career to fieldwork in Greece and Sicily, directing excavations at Monte Iato in Sicily for more than three decades. His work at Eretria, where he studied the ancient theatre, culminated in the publication of Eretria XVIII in 2007, a landmark contribution to the archaeology of the site.

Aegina project ⛰️
The ESAG, in collaboration with the Ephorate of Piraeus and Islands, is currently carrying out a wet-sieving campaign on soil samples collected during excavation work at the summit of Hellanion Oros on Aegina.

These sediments are yielding a wealth of archaeobotanical and other remains, offering valuable insights into dietary habits at the late Mycenaean refuge settlement on the mountaintop, as well as into ritual practices associated with the sanctuary of Zeus in the historic periods.

EASP 2021–2025 Survey Pottery 🏺

Over the past two weeks, Chloé Chezeaux (UNIL–ESAG, survey field responsible), Tamara Saggini (ESAG–UNIL, pottery specialist), and Marie Fasel (UNIL, MA student) conducted the study and verification of more than 2,100 ancient pottery sherds catalogued during the survey campaigns conducted between 2021 and 2025 in the plain between Eretria and Amarynthos.

Byzantine and Ottoman pottery has been set aside for specialists of these periods, while the remaining finds will be studied at the Eretria Museum within the next days.

This short campaign aims to prepare the final publication of the material collected during this survey project, a collaboration between the Ephorate of Antiquities of Euboea and the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece. #ESAG #ΥΠΠΟ #MinCultureGr #Eretria #Evia #greekarchaeology #euboea #Amarynthos #ancientgreece ...

Bienvenue sur le site de l’École suisse d’archéologie en Grèce

Depuis 1964, des archéologues suisses explorent l’antique cité d’Érétrie, sur l’île d’Eubée. De récentes fouilles hors les murs ont conduit à la découverte du plus prestigieux sanctuaire des Érétriens, l’Artémision d’Amarynthos. L’École apporte également son soutien à d’autres projets archéologiques suisses en Grèce et publie comme maison d’édition des ouvrages scientifiques.
