Professor Sarah Murray has received a grant from the Loeb Classical Library Foundation to conduct paleoenvironmental study and materials analyses of artifacts as part of the Bays of East Attica Regional Survey (BEARS) project she co-directs in Porto Rafti, Greece.
BEARS investigates the role of Porto Rafti as a point of contact between Attica and the Cyclades in the Early Bronze Age, the location of a settlement associated with the major, single-period LH IIIC cemetery of Perati, which was excavated in the middle of the 20th century, and the Archaic and Classical topography of the demes of Prasiai and Steiria.
