The Bouros-Kastri peninsula at the south-eastern tip of the Greek
island of Euboia has previously been overlooked in the
archaeological literature. This survey by the Southern Euboea
Exploration Project, conducted under the aegis of the Canadian
Institute in Greece, now provides a wealth of intriguing
information about fluctuations in long-term use and habitation in
this part of the Karystia. While the peninsula is agriculturally
poor, its coast is blessed with several small coastal inlets and
one important ancient port, Geraistos. These provide access to
vital maritime routes and connect the peninsula to Athens and other
Aegean ports. The survey revealed modest use of the peninsula
during the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age; it was then virtually
abandoned for the following two and a half millennia. Occupation
resumed in the Late Archaic-Early Classical period, followed by
near desertion in the 3rd century BC of all but some coastal sites,
a resurgence of activity in the Late Roman period, and modest use
in Byzantine and Ottoman times. The authors analyse the ways in
which the peninsula's use was connected to that of the main urban
centre at Karystos, and how the peninsula and the greater Karystia
were integrated into the political, economic, and cultural spheres
of Athens and the broader region.
