The AROURA Project: Discoveries in Central Greece, 2010–2014

1. In addition to the archaeologists and support staff of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Boiotia, two prior Directors of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA), by which the official collaboration was vetted, Jack Davis and James Wright, deserve the greatest thanks. The Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) sustained the project with generous financial and material support. Research would not have been completed on schedule without GIS Specialist Wes Bittner; Assistant Geophysical Specialist Allison Cuneo; and undergraduate trainees from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the latter supervised by Giorgos Vavouranakis. Jost Knauss of the Technische Universitat Munchen cannot be praised enough for providing, in the spirit of academic altruism, copies of his fieldnotes and original plans and drawings. Finally, the authors thank the anonymous reviewers who provided invaluable substantive, critical, and structural comments.
