Central to our approach is the hypothesis that the occupation of areas beyond the ’regular’ settlement patterns of (pre)historic, and indeed modern, societies corresponds to colonization processes that reflect specific social strategies and may have stimulated the development of new technological skills. Four case studies from the sites of Resafa (Syria), Petra (Jordan), and Ayamonte (Spain) highlight the potentials, as well as the limits, of applying the socio-ecological model to archaeological material/studies.

A workshop organized in Berlin in 2018 aimed at discussing additional information on the topography of the ancient city of Idalion and its hinterland. This volume therefore includes unique contributions that deal with a wide array of relevant aspects. They provide new information on the location, chronology and character of settlements, necropoleis and sanctuaries from the wider area of Idalion, and discuss important issues such as the continuity or discontinuity of settlement activities from the (Late) Bronze Age to the Iron Age and how this is reflected by material culture. They address questions concerned with the physical control of territories and communication networks by considering Idalion’s resource availability and the overall development of its rural settlement pattern in contrast to that of its neighbouring polities.
