Η παρακάτω μελέτη προτείνει μια νέα μεθοδολογία για τη διαχείριση και επανε- ξέταση μιας αδημοσίευτης εκτεταμένης επιφανειακής έρευνας από την περιοχή των Γρεβενών (Δυτική Μακεδονία), με τη βοήθεια ψηφιακών εργαλείων και νέας επιτόπιας εργασίας. Αρχικά αναφέρεται στο πεδίο της έρευνας επιφανείας όπως διαμορφώθηκε στην Ελλάδα, υπογραμμίζοντας τις πι...

This paper addresses the interplay between Holocene landscape evolution and human settlement dynamics, drawing new evidence from the alluvial history of Xerolakkos, a continental stream in Grevena (Western Macedonia, Greece). We developed an integrated geoarchaeological survey combining remote sensing geomorphological mapping, litho-stratigraphic a...

This paper presents an integrated Geoarchaeological approach to Holocene landscape change and socioenvironmental interaction around ancient Abdera, a Greek colony in Aegean Thrace. A combination of remote sensing, geomorphological mapping, sedimentary coring, and radiocarbon dating was used to build the first detailed Holocene sea-level curve in th...

Surface archaeological survey has been widely established as the principal method for the regional study of Mediterranean diachronic landscapes. Before the introduction of GPS and digital, GIS‐based recordings in the late 1990s, survey projects employed analogue recording strategies (e.g. personal notebooks, printed forms and cartographic materials...

This paper presents the preliminary results of the Archaeological Project at Abdera and Xanthi (APAX), a systematic regional survey applying intensive pedestrian sample collection conducted in Greek Thrace. This new archaeological programme has investigated different landscape settings in the Xanthi area. Different collection strategies were develo...

The number and character of the Mycenaean cemeteries found on Rhodes have allowed a thorough analysis of its burial tradition. The chamber tombs and their contents seem to have been canonical Mycenaean according to the Greek mainland examples, but recent research has highlighted significant regional idiosyncrasies. There is a symbolic interrelation...

This chapter explores the active participation of the southeastern Aegean within the exchange networks that connected the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age (EIA) alike. During the 8th and 7th centuries, there is an increase in the number of sites identified on both Rhodes and Kos. Three important...

This presentation of Neolithic finds from Boiotia in the DAI Athens collection allows a broader outlook on this region. A detailed assessment of pottery types and the landscape settings of the respective settlements enhances our understanding of Neolithic Boiotia. Moreover, the diachronic analysis of both these datasets provides a template for the...

Humanities disciplines, such as Archaeology, involve the discovery and examination of ancient artefacts and cultural sites. Such activities may be enhanced by embracing technological developments which introduce rich methodologies incorporating user experiences and attitudes when interacting with their environment. Crowd-sourcing is an example of a...

The treatment of children during the Mesolithic and Neolithic in southern Greece can provide us with a rare insight of age differentiations, social practices and beliefs in these early periods. The diachronic presentation and analysis of this particular group of burials will provide a better understanding of the social and conceptual changes the ro...

The Neolithic period in Attica has attracted limited attention in the past in comparison to other parts of Greece. The presentation of the finds from the DAI collection allows a new assessment of the pottery types that were produced in Neolithic Attica as well as a diachronic analysis of the settlements in this region. A number of new sites are pre...

Obsidian is an important material circulated throughout the Aegean. Melian obsidian is found at many sites and researchers have concentrated on Melos without acknowledging obsidian from other sources. This article endeavours to highlight obsidian of non-Melian origin, such as that from the Carpathians, central Anatolia, Antiparos and, particularly,...
