The archaeological site of - Mitrou is located on a Tidal island in the Gulf of Atalanti, in Opuntian Locris in Central Greece. Excavation of the site is conducted under the direction of the American School of Classical Studies, and was ongoing.
Findings
Finds from surface survey indicate humans were already present in the
Neolithic period; occupation continued throughout the
Bronze Age and into the Early
Iron Age. In addition to the settlement, a Bronze Age boat
and burials dating to the Bronze and Early Iron Ages have been found close to the settlement. Part of the site's importance derives from the apparently continuous habitation here after the end of the
Mycenaean Greece, with no gap apparent between the post-palatial Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. This situation is mirrored in other Central Greek sites, such as
Lefkandi,
Kalapodi,
Elateia, and Pyrgos Livanaton/
Kynos.
