Research project: Macedonia programme (Louloudies, Greece)
Project details: Macedonia programme (Louloudies, Greece)
Project director: Andrew Poulter
There were two projects included within this initiative. The first was to test whether resistivity survey could produce useful results, revealing the townscape of the lower city of ancient Philippi.
The second was to carry out a field survey at Loulouthies, south of ancient Pydna and north of modern Katerini in the Pieria (north-eastern Greece). The results of this survey were particularly important in that they discovered a new early Byzantine fortress (6th-7th centuries AD) and because the unusual survey methodology adopted in this cultivated landscape underpinned the development of a new type of site-specific survey, applied and developed in the Transition to Late Antiquity programe (Bulgaria).
