Aaron gave the first report of the morning at the tholos tomb at the site of Nichoria. The entire time he spoke, we could hear gunshots in the not too far distance.
Later, we saw lots of piles of discarded shotgun shells. Nichoria must be a popular place for hunters.
Next we stopped at a church to have a look at an ancient block which had been reused in the building of a church. David gave his report about the inscription on the block which talked about Messenian cult of the Andanian Mysteries.
We ended the day at the Alepotrypa cave in Diros, the site of a Neolithic settlement. The archaeologists left some of the pots in situ so that you can see where they were found.

Other finds from the cave are housed in the museum which has been built around the entrance to the cave.
We spent the night in Areopolis, a lovely little village, famous for being the city in which the Greek War for Independence began in 1821.
