Alepotrypa Cave at Diros Bay, Lakonia, Greece, is a massive karstic
formation of consecutive chambers ending at a lake. The cave was
excavated by G. Papathanassopoulos from 1970 to 2006. In
conjunction with the surrounding area, it was used as a
complementary habitation area, burial site, and place for
ceremonial activity during the Neolithic c 6000 to 3200 BC. As a
sealed, single-component, archaeological site, the Neolithic
settlement complex of Alepotrypa Cave is one of the richest sites
in Greece and Europe in terms of number of artifacts, preservation
of biological materials, volume of undisturbed deposits, and
horizontal exposure of archaeological surfaces of past human
activity and this publication is an important contribution to
ongoing archaeological research of the Neolithic Age in Greece in
particular, but also in Anatolia, the Balkans and Europe in
general. This edited volume offers a full scholarly
interdisciplinary study and interpretation of the results of
approximately 40 years of excavation and analysis. It includes
numerous chemical analyses and a much needed long series of
radiocarbon dates, the corresponding microstratigraphic,
stratigraphic and ceramic sequence, the human burials, stone and
bone tools, faunal and floral remains, isotopic analyses, specific
locations of human activities and ceremonies inside the cave, as
well as a site description and the history of the excavation
conducted by G. Papathanasopoulos.
