Following a very productive “big” study campaign in the summer of 2023, just a one task remains to be completed in the field during the final season of the BEARS project in 2024: completing the documentation of the architectural remains on Koroni. Over the last two weeks, Miriam Clinton, Rob Stephan, Kat Apokatanidis and I have been tackling the thorns and walls up on the venerable citadel, with a brief cameo appearance by Grace Erny earlier this week. It feels a bit lonely to be here without our other stalwart project veterans, but nice to end the project on a reasonably mellow note. After another week of mapping, we’ll do one final round of checks in Brauron, and (aside from a few scientific endeavors, on which more in the coming months) then it will be time to put BEARS to bed!
