A collection of 40 papers (and one inaugural address) from the conference From Mesogeia to Argosaronikos, held in Athens on 18-20 December 2003. The book presents recent excavations and finds conducted by the Second Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities in Attica, Piraeus, Troezen and the islands of Kythera and Antikythera during the decade 1994-2003 (since then the Second Ephorate has been divided into two Ephorates). The papers are presented following a geographical sequence. All papers are in Greek, followed by abstracts in English.
