The Prehistoric Tumuli of Marathon, Greece

Prof.  Gilles  Touchais  is  the  lead  researcher  for  the  Shelby  White  and  Leon  Levy  Program  project, in close collaboration with Prof. Maria Pantelidou Gofa, Anna Philippa-­‐Touchais and Dr.  Nikolas  Papadimitriou.  He  specialises  on  the  Neolithic  and  Bronze  Age  periods  of  Mainland Greece, with emphasis on the Middle Helladic. From 1974 onwards he carried out, together with Anna Philippa–Touchais, excavations at the Middle Helladic settlement on the Aspis  hill,  Argos,  on  behalf  of  the  French  School  at  Athens;  they  are  now  preparing  the  full  publication  of  the  excavation  in  two  volumes,  the  first  of  which  is  currently  on  press.  Since 1993 he has also led a French–Albanian multidisciplinary project focused on the prehistory of  south-east  Albania,  excavating  at  the  lakeside  settlements  of  Sovjan  (Korça  basin)  and  Kallamas (lake of Prespa); the results of these excavations are also being published.
