The Hassapoyannes-Blandford Post-Doctoral Fellow in North Kynouria Studies will focus on a combined programme of desk-based research and on-site survey to reconstruct patterns of cult practice, sacred space, and landscape use across more than a millennium of regional development to bring to light the rich diversity of religious traditions from the Geometric to Byzantine periods.

3. Final publication (including an interactive map of the religious sites of North Kynouria)
4. An annual report
