The British School at Athens Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization supporting the work of the British School at Athens (BSA). The mission of the BSA, deriving from its statutory object is to conduct, facilitate and promote research of international excellence in all periods – from the Palaeolithic to the present – and across all humanities and social science disciplines. It is therefore an important hub for advanced research in these disciplines in Greece and its wider Balkan, Levantine, Mediterranean, and European contexts. The research it conducts, facilitates and promotes makes significant original contributions to knowledge, offering long-term perspectives on contemporary questions. The BSA is probably best known for its long history of archaeological research at many locations in the eastern Mediterranean, with a strong focus on Greece, and including some ‘household names’, such as Knossos, Sparta and Mycenae. Locations include Cyprus, western Turkey and Egypt, as well as many sites in the Aegean from Macedonia, through Epiros and Thessaly to Boeotia, Attica and the Peloponnese, and on many islands including Crete, the Cyclades, Euboea, Kythera and Chios. If you are a US donor, you can support the internationally renowned work of the BSA by donating via the British School at Athens Foundation.
