Abstract

Construction of a new roof over the Main Building of the Palace of Nestor necessitated preliminary archaeologicalexcavation in 2012–2013. The research was conducted by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Messenia with supportfrom the University of Cincinnati. It was possible to explore the early history of the site for the first time since the1960s. Here we describe two ESPA projects for the protection, promotion, and enhancement of the site, together withthe highlights of our archaeological research that are particularly relevant to the early Mycenaean period.
