MAP (Mitrou Archaeological Project)
Co-diretto da Aleydis Van de Moortel e †Eleni Zahou (2004-2021) e successivamente da Aleydis Van de Moortel e Euthymia Karantzali (2021-presente), MAP è una synergasia tra l’Università del Tennessee e la Sovrintendenza per le Antichità della Ftiotide e dell’Evrytania, sotto gli auspici della Scuola Americana di Studi Classici ad Atene. In questo progetto, Salvatore Vitale è il principal investigator per lo studio delle ceramiche comprese tra il Tardo Elladico IIA e il Tardo Elladico IIIB. In ambito MAP, gli interessi principali della ricerca di Salvatore Vitale sono concentrati su: ceramiche e cronologia relativa; il processo di formazione dell’identità culturale micenea nella Grecia centrale; e le traiettorie socio-politiche di Mitrou nelle fasi prepalaziali e palaziali della civiltà micenea.
