Port Antique

This guide to Port Antique opens with bulldozers halting mid-construction on a Marseille shopping mall in nineteen sixty-seven after striking ancient fortification walls and a stone gateway beneath the mud. You'll hear how Greek sailors from Phocaea are said to have founded a trading colony on this inlet around six hundred years before the common era, and how archaeologists spent a decade racing the construction crews to uncover what came after. Trace the old harbor's curve in the ground beneath the olive trees as you listen.
