Ancient Skopelos Survey (acronym ASkoS)

The Ancient Skopelos Survey (ASkoS, 2024–2028) project is a joint venture (Greek: synergasia) conducted by the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw in cooperation with the Ephorate of Magnesia of the Greek Ministry of Culture, under the auspices and with the research permit of the Polish Archaeological Institute at Athens (PAIA), and in collaboration with the Universities of Heidelberg and Charles University in Prague.

The project aims to deepen our knowledge of the communities that inhabited the Northern Sporades in the 3rd and 2nd millennia B.C. The research focuses on Skopelos—one of the largest, yet still underexplored, islands of the Sporades. Our goal is to identify the role of Skopelos in the context of social, political, and cultural changes occurring during both millennia, including:

  1. Identifying and understanding the settlement network on the island, with a special focus on the processes occurring in the 3rd and 2nd millennia B.C.
  2. Connecting these processes with changing environmental conditions.
  3. Connecting these processes with the cultural, socio-political, and economic trends dominant in the Aegean at that time.
  4. Explaining the role of Skopelos in intra- and inter-regional interaction networks in the 3rd and 2nd millennia B.C.
  5. Selecting an optimal site for future excavation research.

On May 8th and 9th, 2025, the Faculty of Archaeology building will be closed

Dear Studens,

In accordance with the decision of Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, Rector of the University of Warsaw, May 8 is the Day of Mourning, without classes and work at the University of Warsaw. The university community is shocked by the brutal murder that took place on the Main Campus of the University of Warsaw. Let the Day of Mourning be a time to reflect on the acts of violence and aggression that occur in the academic space.
May 9th will also be a day off from classes.

Laser Scanning (LiDAR) from drones at the Faculty of Archaeology

Archaeological research based on LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), also known as Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), has proven to be a breakthrough in discovering new archaeological sites. Thanks to purchases made under the Dariah Lab program at the Faculty of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw, we now have the ability to use high-resolution scanners at a lower cost.
