EN This report presents the results of the second excavation season at the Mycenaean site of Pefkakia, conducted in 2024. We summarize our findings from two sectors of the site, B and C, initially explored in 2023. In Sector C, Trench C01, architectural remains dating to LH IIIA-B were further exposed, including an important horizon of metallurgical activity dating to around 1200 BC and a well-made, partially plastered floor dating to LH IIIA2 (Early). Layers dating to the early part of the Late Bronze Age were exposed above the bedrock. In Trench C02, an important episode of Hellenistic-period habitation was revealed. Below, we uncovered a well-built stone drain with associated floor remains dating to LH IIIA2-B. In Sector B, a further tile-built tomb, probably of Roman date, was excavated, followed by an intriguing sequence of Hellenistic activity that includes a tile- and sherd-plastered surface and a deposit of high-quality Early Hellenistic pottery.
