A major archaeological survey discovered over 200 ancient sites in Evia, Greece, showing 6,000 years of human history.
The survey was conducted by the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece across more than 30 square km of land.
Researchers found farms, settlements, quarries, and roads linked to the ancient city of Eretria.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) was used to detect hidden structures like buried walls and paths.
The region had “demes” (rural administrative units) which supported agriculture and economic activities.
