In the mining area of Laurion near Athens, lead-silver-ore was mined in Antiquity. Although many archaeological traces have been preserved at least until the 19th century, many research questions regarding the processing of the ores are still unanswered. Therefore, as part of a project focussing on the Ari mining district near Anavyssos, an ancient ore-washery was excavated in 2016. According to the findings, it was only superficially disturbed by later activities and is preliminarily dated to the 4th century B.C. The findings settle the long-debated question of how the ore-washeries worked: They were so-called plain tables (or buddles), on which the ground ore was separated by density using a water film, and without sluices. Another project started in 2017 and was continued in 2019. It concerned an old excavation at Frankolimano Thorikou near the modern town of Lavrio. The archaeological finds from a battery of melting furnaces and other ancient buildings are currently evaluated. For the time being, they can be dated to the advanced Hellenistic period. The project includes archaeometallurgical analyses by specialists from the NCSR Demokritos.
