Lefkas is a mountainous island. It has a steep western coastline facing the open Ionian Sea and a smooth northern and eastern coastline lying within the Inner Ionian Sea. The latter constitutes both a barrier and a bridge with the opposing landmass and the archipelago of the inner sea. Due to its rich tectonic history, Lefkas is endowed with a singular terrain and natural resources -high quality flints and cherts, wetlands, and karstic features- in the coastal and mountainous areas. The island was particularly attractive to the Middle Palaeolithic communities of western Greece. Archaeological research on the island, conducted now for more than a quarter of a century, offers robust evidence for recurring Neanderthal settlement. This study examines the Palaeolithic archaeology recovered from Lefkas, places it in its geological and palaeogeographic setting and presents new material recovered from the extensive site of the Karyotes alluvial fan.
