PRAP is a multi-disciplinary, diachronic archaeological expedition formally organized in 1990 to investigate the history of prehistoric and historic settlement and land use in western Messenia in Greece, in an area centered on the Bronze Age administrative center known as Palace of Nestor. The project has employed the techniques of archaeological surface survey, along with natural environmental investigations (geological, geomorphological, geophysical, and paleobotanical). In the summers of 1991-95, approximately 40 square kilometers in western Messenia were examined intensively. The site includes introductory and contact information, databases (including a site gazetteer, pottery catalog, photo list and lithics catalog), bibliographies, thematic studies, and views and maps of the study area.Pylos Regional Archaeological Project: Internet Edition
