NOTICE
Topography of Kos . A. Giannikouri (Director, Archaeological Institute for Aegean Studies)
reports on a collaborative programme with the Italian School (G. Rocco and M. Livadiotti,
SAIA/Bari) to create an archaeological-topographical map using data from the excavations of
the Italian Archaeological Mission, the ΚΒ' ΕΠΚΑ and the 4th EBA.
Continuous settlement from LNeo onwards is examined via a series of studies: on the
successive settlement phases from the PH period, on the location of the boundaries of the polis
of Kos Meropidas (10th Ct BC until the synoikism of 366 BC) and on the Hel city and the
settlement remains of the EChr period. The programme began with the study of the public
buildings of the Hel city: systematic description and photography of architectural members,
generating information which is used for 3-D computer reconstruction of the monuments.
