Greece witnessed a significant archaeological breakthrough in April 2026 with the discovery of over 200 ancient sites in the Eretrian plain of Evia. Using advanced technologies like LiDAR and GIS, researchers mapped around 30 square kilometres, uncovering evidence of continuous human habitation spanning 6,000 years. The sites include ancient farms, quarries, and road networks, reflecting socio-economic development across different historical eras such as the Mycenaean, Roman, and Ottoman periods. This discovery provides valuable insights into long-term settlement patterns and highlights the importance of modern technology in archaeological research.
