[home]PRAP Preliminary Reports
This page provides links to preliminary reports that have been submitted to the Greek government, funding agencies, as well as presented at the annual meetings of the Archaeological Institute of America. While much of the information they contain has been superseded by discussions found in more formal publications, these reports remain the primary record of the history of the Pylos Regional Archaeological Project, and also of the Hora Apotheke Re-organization Project (HARP). They also do present the results of research not yet published elsewhere and in that regard will be of interest to the scholarly community.
