The archaeology on Zakynthos is sparse compared to that of the other Ionian Islands. This is due to a variety of circumstances - a lack of regional archaeological research and the archaeological record on the island showing a high degree of fragmentation and destruction due to a combination of war, seismic activity, and intensive land use or development, which has resulted in the loss of an unknown number of sites and/or artifacts. As a result of this loss, archaeological projects on the island of Zakynthos have produced an array of predominantly survey-based inquiries, which have been insufficient in ascertaining a comprehensive prehistoric interpretation of the Island. This paper explores the archaeological history of the island and presents preliminary fieldwork; completed in support of DPhil research scheduled for 2016, and conducted by the authors in August of 2015, on the coastal region of Katastari, Zakynthos (Greece). In addition, this paper responds to the difficult archaeological terrain on the island by exploring the potentials of a new community inclusive methodology for the region.
