In 2011 work at Aigeira focused on three main areas: ›Solon‹, the so-called saddle at the southeastern side of the acropolis, and the area of the theatre. Research at the large, presumably public building complex
at ›Solon‹ concentrated on the various architectural phases. A number of trenches were dug to bedrock in order to find additional stratigraphic evidence for the date to the first building phase. In the area of the ›saddle‹ excavations were resumed after more than thirty years. Here a promising Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age stratigraphic sequence was discovered, indicating that the Late Bronze Age settlement was.
not limited to the acropolis. The most interesting architectural features are the remains of two massive
walls at the southern and eastern slope of the acropolis. Their date is yet not clear, but one may belong to
the Late Classical/Hellenistic period, the other to the Late Bronze Age. In the area of the theatre and the
adjacent Hellenistic temples a program was initiated to finally publish the remains of the 1972 to 1996 excavations. Most surprising was the re-discovery of a large number of wall-paintings from one of the temples.
