                CHELP conducted surface survey at the Bronze Age island-site of Mitrou in 1988 and 1989. Much material was picked up on the surface and it was analyzed in detail by  Margaretha T. Kramer-Hajos in a Ph.D. dissertation in Classics at Cornell entitled: “Mycenaean Civilization in East Lokris.” (Cornell, 2005). Dr. Kramer-Hajos’s work on the CHELP  Mitrou surface survey is to be published in an article in Hesperia scheduled to appear soon.

                 In 2004 Cornell joined the Greek Archaeological Service and the University of Tennessee in the first season of large-scale excavations at the site. A preliminary report of the  2004 season appeared in Studies and Monographs in Mediterranean Archaeology and Civilization, Volume 7 (featured on-line at www.aegeanarchaeology.org).
