In rescue excavation campaigns during the last three years, among other finds, charcoal and seashell samples were also collected. The purpose of this study is the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating of the cave's anthropogenic deposits and the calculation of the regional marine reservoir effect during the Neolithic period. For that purpose, 7 charcoal pieces and 1 seashell were dated. Our results show that the cave was used from the second quarter of the 6th millennium (Middle Neolithic period) until the beginning of the 5th millennium BC. Additionally, one sample collected from a depth of 2 cm from the present surface of the cave yielded an age falling within the 6th century AD, giving thus the absolute time span of the cave use. Moreover, the radiocarbon (14 C) ages of one pair of charcoal-seashell samples showed that the marine reservoir age R(t) in the estuarine Marathon Bay region during the 5th millennium BC is 775 ± 57 yr and the local sea surface reservoir deviation ΔR is found to be 402 ± 63 14 C yr (within 1σ).
This paper examines application of the provenance hypothesis in areas of complex regional geology... more This paper examines application of the provenance hypothesis in areas of complex regional geology, where all potential sources of raw materials cannot be isolated or taken into account. With a few notable exceptions most pottery of the Late and Final Neolithic in Central and Southern Mainland Greece is considered to be locally produced by non-specialist household potters. Nevertheless small quantities of pottery with fresh volcanic fabrics have been found in largely non-volcanic areas and interpreted as imports. This interpretation has been questioned and alternative local sources proposed either in isolated palaeovolcanic units amongst otherwise non-volcanic rocks or through reuse of imported artefacts such as millstones made from fresh volcanic rock. In this study we examine evidence for pottery exchange at the Cave of Euripides, located opposite the island of Aegina, a potential source of imported volcanic materials in the region. The analysis uses petrography to identify raw materials, production technologies and provenance of the pottery. Results show that most pottery at the cave was produced locally. It is argued that grog and sparry calcite tempered fabrics are indicative of shared technological knowledge amongst potters in different communities. Pottery imports are identified based on their fresh volcanic inclusions. They are consistent with pottery fabrics from Aegina and distinguished from the local palaeovolcanic rocks that occur in close proximity to the cave.

The Cave of Pan is formed on the hill of Oinoe, west of modern Marathon. A small-scale excavation was conducted in it by Ioannis Papadimitriou, Director of Antiquities and archaeologist of the Archaeological Society at Athens, in 1958 (Ορλάνδος 1959). According to the finds which were brought to light the cave was identified as the one mentioned and described by the ancient traveller Pausanias (I, 32, 7).
Fifty-six years later, the Ephorate of Palaeoanthropology & Speleology decided to include the cave into a rescue excavation program and conducted a research in it which lasted from 2014 until 2018. It was ascertained that the cave was used during the Neolithic, the Bronze Age, the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods, as well as the late antiquity.
MAny charcoal samples were collected from the stratified deposits. Twenty-five of them were radiocarbon dated in the radiocarbon dating laboratories of Lyon-France and the University of Arizona-USA by AMS. The analyses were carried out due to the economic support of the INSTAP, which contributed significantly to the new excavating research of the cave.
The results of the analyses combined with the on-going study of the rest of the archaeological finds verify the systematic use of the first chambers, lying closer to the two entrances, as far back as the Early Neolithic (approximately 6600 B.C.). It seems though that visits were paid in all the areas of the cave at least since the Middle Neolithic (cf. Facorellis et al. 2017). The use was much more intensive during the Late and Final Neolithic, as well as the historic times, during which the cave served as a sanctuary dedicated mainly to the Nymphs and Pan. Its final use is recorded in the late antiquity, specifically in the first half of the 6th century A.D.

The purpose of the production of an exact full-scale model of the cave, located in a safe place suitable to function as a visiting site, was based on the detailed survey of the interior as well as the digital terrain model of the area. the cave was considered by 3D laser scanning. The final decision on the survey specifications was made according to the archaeological details and the idea of the 3D model simulation.
