This paper presents the preliminaty results of the ongoing research at the now submerged prehistoric town at Pavlopetri on the Malea peninsula in south-east Laconia. Through the assessment of the archaeological data available from the 1968 and 2009 survey seasons, this paper aims at presenting the evidence for the Early Helladic occupation of the town, reconstructing the local community’s contacts with their Laconian neighbours and beyond, and at placing the harbour town within the context of Early Bronze Age seafaring and exchange networks.
