II.—Geraki: 1.—Excavations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2013
Extract
Some experimental excavations were carried out at Geraki (the ancient Geronthrae) between May 26 and June 6 of 1905.
Geraki lies in the upland plain which includes practically the whole of east central Laconia extending from the left bank of the Eurotas to the foothills of Parnon: it is on the south and south-western slopes of one of these foothills—the ancient acropolis of Geronthrae, which we shall discuss later in detail—that the modern village is built.
