Fieldwork Experience - Dr Maeve McHugh BA, MA, PhD (UCD)
I participated in the Mazi Archaeological Project (MAP) as a team leader on one of the three teams taking part during the 2015 field season. The project is a diachronic regional archaeological survey of the Mazi plain in northwest Attica, Greece. It is a collaboration between the Ephorate of Antiquities of West Attica, Piraeus, and the Islands, and the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece. The project employs cutting edge spatial modelling, photogrammetry, and survey techniques as part of its methodology. My role as team leader involved working in a team of six researchers carrying out an intensive survey of the Koloumbi plain south-east of the larger Mazi plain. Our area of the survey proved to be rich in archaeological material, during the course of the season we identified several farmsteads dating between the Classical to Roman periods, terrace walls, kilns, wells, and a Byzantine settlement.
