The animals saved in Greece's ancient accidental 'arks' Shielded from development and agriculture, many archaeological sites from ancient Greece have now become inadvertent safe harbours for plants and animals.

📰 Greek heritage sites, preserved from development and agriculture, serve as sanctuaries for endangered flora and fauna. This suggests archaeological landscapes could be pivotal for future conservation efforts.

For a formal survey, we’d refer to them as ‘surface’ or ‘near-surface’ finds but they still have context. A chance find to us is a bit of an orphan. You might not formally explore the context further or it could be something handed in by a neighbour or local person. Hope this helps 😊

Or survey!

We use ‘chance finds’ to cover anything that turns up outside of a formal excavation.
