Mycenaean Foundation

The Mycenaean Foundation in partnership with New Scientist and Kirker Holidays hosted an unforgettable four-day-long program of field archaeology experience in October 2025. In addition to guided tours and lectures conducted by the President of the Foundation, archaeologist Dr. Christofilis Maggidis, the program included unique field archaeology experience in an innovative dig simulator as well as recording, dating, stratigraphy, pottery study, archaeological illustration and digital applications in the archaeology labs. Participants followed every single step of the dig process, learned many of the techniques and digital technology employed, and practiced field survey. Our dig simulator facilitates intensive, interdisciplinary "hands-on" education and practical field training in real conditions in the controlled environment of a simulated excavation field under the supervision and instruction of well-trained field archaeologists and specialists.

Happy Holidays to Everyone!

We hope that this holiday season is memorable and filled with health, happiness, laughter, and love with friends and family!
