History
Through a series of survey and rescue excavations, the modern lignite mines just west of modern Megalopolis (and southwest of the ancient site of Megalopolis) in the Peloponnese have produced important evidence for ice age activity, especially at (but not limited to) a Lower Paeleolithic site known as Marathoussa 1.
