Kalapodi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kalapodi is a village in Phocis, Central Greece. The name also denotes an archaeological site ca. 1km east of the village, where an ancient sanctuary was discovered. Cult activity here seems to have begun in the late Bronze Age and continued without break into the historical period. The last attested use phase of the sanctuary dates to Imperial Roman times. The site is excavated under the direction of the German Archaeological Institute in Athens; as of 2007, excavations are ongoing. Finds from the site are published in a monograph series edited by the German Archaeological Institute; so far, two volumes have appeared, covering ceramic and metal finds from the sanctuary.^[1]
