Directed by John Fossey (McGill University), the Khostia project focused on systematic investigation of the site\u2019s acropolis and lower town, as well as the industrial zone identified at the southernmost edge of the settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Scattered prehistoric finds indicate that Khostia was occupied intermittently from the Middle Neolithic period onwards, with site activity greatly intensifying in the later Classical period. This phase saw significant urban development and the construction of extensive ashlar fortifications defining the limits of both the acropolis and lower town. These defenses remained in use into the Hellenistic period, after which the site was destroyed and subsequently abandoned for several centuries until the Late Roman period. During the site\u2019s final phase of occupation in the 5th century CE, the partially destroyed fortifications were reinforced in a poor mortared style and new buildings were constructed using material from the collapsed city walls. This phase continued until the end of the Late Roman period with another destruction accompanied by widespread fire.\u00a0During both the Hellenistic and Roman occupations there is evidence that olive cultivation and sheep rearing for wool were important industries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Select Bibliography <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fossey, John M.\u00a0ed. 1986.\u00a0<strong><em>Khostia I: Resultats des exploration et fouilles canadiennes \u00e0 Khostia, Gr\u00e8ce Centrale.
