The Prehistoric Periods is the first volume in a series of publications
where the results of the Danish/ Greek excavations 1995 to 2001 in
Ancient Chalkis in Aetolia, are published. For the first time ever,
stratigraphically excavated deposits from the Final Neolithic, the Early
Helladic, Middle Helladic and the Late Helladic periods in Northwestern
Greece are published and presented in their proper scientific contexts.
In addition to the archaeological contexts geological surveys in the
area and studies in the fauna of marine shells and animal bones from the
prehistoric layers are submitted. The results are supported by a series
of C14 dates.
