During the summer months, our fieldwork project is conducted in the hinterland of the Greek city of Chalkida on Euboea/Evia island (also known by its ancient name ‘Chalcis’ in English). This archaeological project is carried out by the Faculty of Archaeology of Leiden University (LU), the Ephorate of Antiquities of Euboea (EAE) and the Hellenic Society for Near Eastern Studies (HSNES) under the auspices of the Netherlands Institute at Athens (NIA) as part of the project ‘Beyond Chalkida: Landscape and Socio-economic Transformations of its Hinterland from Byzantine to Ottoman Times’ (shortened to ‘Hinterland of Medieval Chalkida Project’ or ‘HMC Project’).
