Abstract
Epano Kastro is located in the southeast of the island of Andros and was built by the Venetian sovereigns after 1205. During the period 2004-2010 the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens conducted excavations at strategic parts of the castle. Rings, items of private devotion and dress accessories from the excavation at Epano Kastro, most of which date back to the Venetian occupation (1205- 1566), suggest the existence of a provincial society that was aware of the main dress codes of the Late Middle Ages.
