Mentor Shipwreck Excavation Programme, 2023

In September of 2023, the Hellenic Archaeological Exploration Society participated in the 2023 season of the Mentor Shipwreck Excavation Programme, taking place in Avlemonos, Kythera, Greece, under the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities, the Greek government archaeological department in the Ministry of Culture responsible for all underwater antiquities in Greece.

As part of the participation, HAES founder, Kosta Koeman, financed the film shown here. Portions of this film will be on display in the underwater archaeological museum being built in Piraeus, Greece.

The HAES looks forward to working with the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities and other institutions in Greece to further research, education, and outreach.
