The last excavations at Barikot (Trench BKG 11) were carried out in five seasons from
2011 to 2013, and were focused on the last Macro-phases (6 and 5) of the lower town of
the ancient fortified settlement founded by the Indo-Greeks in the late 2nd century BCE.
Macro-phase 6 (=Period IX in BKG 11, 4-5; =Period VIII in BKG 1 and Phase 3 in BKG
3; see Colliva 2011) was documented in all the previous excavations at the site as the last
phase of organized re-use of the site when (part of) the town was already in ruin (Cupitò
et al. 2013; Olivieri et al. in press; Olivieri in press). The last living phase of the ancient
town is documented in the previous Macro-phase 5 (=Periods VII and VIII in BKG 11
and 4-5; = Period VII in BKG 1 and Phase 2b in BKG 3; Colliva 2011). The end of this
Macro-phase at the same time marks the abandonment of the town.
