Just off the coast of central Greece lies the tidal islet Mitrou, a region associated in antiquity with the Homeric hero Lokrian Ajax. Since 2003 Mitrou has been the focus of intensive archaeological investigation. In his talk, John Lee describes the Aegean Bronze Age (1600-1100 B.C.) and Iron Age (1000-900 B.C.) findings of 2005 field season at Mitrou and the complex relationship between foreign archaeologists and modern Greek village society in East Lokris.
