Episkopi-Bamboula: the SUNY Albany re-examination of Daniel's dig

From 1 June to 2 July 1987 a mission of the University at Albany, State University of New York, directed by P. W. Wallace, re-examined parts of Episkopi-Bamboula that J. Fr. Daniel of the University of Pennsylvania had excavated; the annual report states that Daniel died before publishing his discoveries¹. The team cleared scrub and debris from the site and worked in sectors A and E, continuing the trench numbering of the earlier excavations¹. Trenches 23 and 24, opened north and south of earlier work in sector E to test the settlement's extent, contained no ancient remains¹. In sector A, trench 25 and two further tests around trenches 25 and 9 gave no tangible evidence for a continuation of the fortification wall¹. Trenches 26 to 29, opened south of the wall Daniel had found, reached bedrock a few centimetres below the surface¹. The work removed some areas from consideration for future excavation, and the course of the wall remained unresolved¹.
