The 2023 BEARS study season is upon us! Starting on May 15, a small crew of Athens-based team members started commuting to the Brauron museum to get things started fleshing out the finds catalog, continuing the long process of bulk cataloging Praso pottery, and analysing groundstone objects. This week we welcome the season’s first arrivals from near and far, including various materials experts who will study artifacts in Brauron and a crew of expert architectural mappers who will tackle the remaining ruins. To kick off the blogging action, here is a photo of the museum team from May 22 fuelling up with donuts offered to us by one of our lovely and wonderful colleagues in the work rooms. Hooray for archaeology – we look forward to sharing additional updates as the work progresses this month and next.
