Trace metal analysis of archaeological soils has grown in popularity in recent decades, as an additional means of measuring human impact on and off archaeological sites. Nonetheless there has been a tendency to ascribe such elements too easily to ancient metallurgy, whereas pollution research studies have identified many other causes of heightened trace metals in anthropogenic deposits. This article reviews the published history of research into these phenomena.

The Classical world witnessed many forms of physical landscape change due to long-term and short-term geological and climatological processes. There have also been alterations to the land surface resulting from an interaction between human impact and these natural factors. Cyclical changes in land use, agricultural technology, economy, and politics have continually transformed the rural landscapes of the Mediterranean and the wider Classical world and their mapping, in turn, can shed light on fundamental aspects of ancient society that are not always documented in Classical texts.
field survey of a major region in central Greece, carried out by the Universities of Bradford and Cambridge under the co-directorship of myself and Prof. Anthony Snodgrass (Bintliff, 1985; Bintliffand Snodgrass, 1985, ig88a, ig88b).

Boeotia is a large and agriculturally fertile region of Central Greece, with a surface area in antiquity of some 2580 sq. km, very close in size to neighbouring Attica. In this paper I wish to discuss the evolution of the Boeotian city landscapes, using' the available information from two levels of investigation: firstly for the whole region we can utilise the results of extensive research carried out by numerous investigators over the past two centuries, essentially summarized in the recent publication of John Fossey in his book on the ancient topography of Boeotia. Secondly I will use the highly detailed information available from the Boeotia Project, jointly directed by myself and by Anthony Snodgrass of Cambridge University, which since 1978 has carried out intensive archaeological surface survey in two districts, initially in South-Western Boeotia in the territory of the ancient cities of Thespiae and Haliartos, and more recently in the territory of the city of Hyettos on t...

Marc’s achievement in Classical Archaeology in general and in Pisidia in particular has been immense, a commitment of energy and vision that very few of his contemporaries, maybe none, has equalled. The flow of papers by himself and with his colleagues and students has appeared to be a never-ending stream of new information on a wide range of fields, from environmental archaeology, materials science, through ceramics and settlement analysis into his own original field of urban architecture. This paper will only deal with one small and recent field in his lifetime interests, that of regional surface survey, and I want to focus on a hitherto neglected era for landscape archaeology, that which is broadly called ‘Byzantine’, but for us archaeologists we prefer to subdivide into Late Roman, Early, Middle and Late Byzantine phases. I shall also devote myself here to outlining how far this relatively new field of surface survey has been able to contribute to Byzantine history within Greece.

From the Trojan War to the sack of Rome, from the fall of Constantinople to the bombings of World War II and the recent devastation of Syrian towns, the destruction of cities and the slaughter of civilian populations are among the most dramatic events in world history. But how reliable are literary sources for these events? Did ancient authors exaggerate the scale of destruction to create sensational narratives? This volume reassesses the impact of physical destruction on ancient Greek cities and its demographic and economic implications. Addressing methodological issues of interpreting the archaeological evidence for destructions, the volume examines the evidence for the destruction, survival, and recovery of Greek cities. The studies, written by an international group of specialists in archaeology, ancient history, and numismatic, range from Sicily to Asia Minor and Aegean Thrace, and include Athens, Corinth, and Eretria. They highlight the resilience of ancient populations and th...

The historical progression of power in ancient Greece from the lowland south-east to the more upland north and west is compared with settlement trends derived from recent archaeological surveys. A series of models is introduced to provide insight into the developmental paths identified for different regions of Greece U is suggested that individual regional trajectories are generally the product of corn;-.ex interactions between the local effects of widespread technological and agricultural diffusions in the Braudelian long-term (Longue Durée), and inter-regional (Core-Periphery/heartlandmarginal land) interactions in the Braudelian medium-term (Moyenne Durée). Comparison and contrast are drawn with regional developments in Neolithic to Bronze Age Greece.

The papers collected here were originally given at a symposium during the European Archaeology Conference at Lake Garda, Italy in 2009. They have been revised and updated for this volume. Medieval and Post-Medieval ceramic studies have now for some decades been in the forefront of the archaeology of those periods, showing not only fascinating interactions with historical sources, in which both disciplines contribute novel information for each other, but also constantly exhibiting original methods and theories for the wider benefit of ceramology and archaeology in general. Topics covered here include cultural factors influencing the choice of materials from whci household containers were made in the medieval Middle East; social insights from pottery assemblages in medieval rural Granada; a reconsideration of the ceramic evidence for middle Byzantine social and economic history; ceramics as a marker of local identity and resistance in early modern Greece; the cultural implications of late medieval Florentine tableware; the interpretation of ceramic deposits traditionally labelled 'rubbish'; new dating evidence for the North Sea fish trade; and French imported pottery in Scotland.

What we wish to do in this final paper is to summarize some of the key points of methodology and approach, and the major operational problems, that emerged from the papers, the discussions, and our own personal reactions to what we heard during the sessions and read in more detail in the pre-circulated papers. In so doing, we want to direct attention towards the central goal of the POPULUS pro-gramme: the future direction of regional field survey in the Mediterranean, and in particular here to focus on the role of regional environmental reconstruction- the special theme of the Aix conference- in this future goal.
