Volunteer Information

The modern village of Mochlos is located just east of the Bay of Mirabello in eastern Crete. It is
accessible via two paved roads which descend from the main east/west highway on
the north coast. One begins at the modern village of Sphaka and the other begins at the entrance
to a large gypsum quarry. Both roads are narrow and precipitous, so you need to drive carefully. The modern village is located on the
southern or mainland side of the submerged isthmus across from the ancient site which is located on the island. The Artisans'
Quarter and LMIII chamber tombs are located on the outskirts of the modern village. Mochlos is
an isolated haven for most of the year, but in July and August it is full of tourists, mostly French. It has several good tavernas, all of which have internet connection.

Students, including undergraduates as well as graduate students, and scholars with professional expertise may apply to participate in the excavation and/or study seasons by writing or e-mailing:

The project will be excavating again in 2012, but is also busy producing final publications, and graduate students interested in participating in the publication program are especially encouraged to apply.
