Overview

The Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens was established in 1980 following negotiations with the Greek government. The institute is one of 18 foreign research facilities established in Athens that focus on Greek, and wider Mediterranean studies, with a heavy emphasis on archaeological fieldwork and research. The AAIA has conducted excavations and research on a range of Classical sites, including the Early Iron Age site of Zagora, and Torone. The AAIA is currently working on a range of interdisciplinary research projects relating to Classical archaeology, including the Zagora 3 Publication project, and the Digital Horizon Project.
