Περίληψη (στα Αγγλικά)

This volume originates in the Thesprotian colloquium that was organised in June 2006 in Athens by the Finnish Institute at Athens and the 8th Ephorate for Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities. As several of the papers given at the colloquium already have been published elsewhere, this volume includes less than half of the original papers. Instead new chapters written by members of the Thesprotia Expedition or by other colleagues working in the region have been added. The aim has been to produce a book that will give a general picture of some of the newest results concerning the past of Thesprotia in northwestern Greece, with a special emphasis given to the results of the first three years of the Thesprotia Expedition. The Thesprotia Expedition took place with permission of the Greek Archaeological Service and the Institute for Geological and Mineral Research (IGME). The archaeological field work was conducted under the auspices of the Finnish Institute at Athens and under supervision of the 32nd (formerly 8th) Ephorate for Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities in Igoumenitsa and the 8th Ephorate for Byzantine Antiquities in Ioannina.
