The archaeological excavations carried out over the last decade in different sectors of the Neapolis have considerably renewed and expanded our knowledge of the early stages of the Greek emporium. The work carried out in the central area of the city, in the agoraestoa sector and also in the northwest area, has provided new data on the urban planning and urban configuration of the 6th-5th centuries BC, as well as on the connection between the city and the ancient natural harbour that extended between the Neapolis and the foundational nucleus of the Palaia Polis.
The launch of a new archaeological research project (2018-2021) focused on the study of the port areas of Emporion, which includes the excavation of the port district of the Neapolis and the structures currently preserved on the coastal façade, as well as various prospecting and geological surveys, is an excellent opportunity to renew the current historical discourse and to propose new hypotheses for future work.

Abstract: The archaeological excavations carried out over the last decade in different sectors of the Neapolis have considerably renewed and expanded our knowledge of the early stages of the Greek emporium. The work carried out in the central area of the city, in the agoraestoa sector and also in the northwest area, has provided new data on the urban planning and urban configuration of the 6th-5th centuries BC, as well as on the connection between the city and the ancient natural harbour that extended between the Neapolis and the foundational nucleus of the Palaia Polis. The launch of a new archaeological research project (2018-2021) focused on the study of the port areas of Emporion, which includes the excavation of the port district of the Neapolis and the structures currently preserved on the coastal façade, as well as various prospecting and geological surveys, is an excellent opportunity to renew the current historical discourse and to propose new hypotheses for future work.
