“…Both new documentation and methodologies will be found in the dozens of relevant chapters from Focus on Fortification (Frederiksen et al 2016) and the more theoretically oriented Ancient Fortifications (Müth et al 2016), with research to that date reviewed in AR (Fachard 2016). Since then, two conferences have been dedicated to Magna Grecia and Sicily (De Vincenzo 2019; Caliò, Gerogiannis and Kopsacheili 2020).…”

The discipline of Greek architecture has been changing rapidly since the time of a major review published in 2011. The current study examines research published since 2012 about the prehistoric through to the Hellenistic eras in mainland Greece and the Aegean, along with the expansion of Greek architectural systems throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea in the first millennium BC. A narrative discussing close to 300 works from recent years is bolstered by a quantitative analysis of the subjects treated in nearly 1,000 studies from the previous decade. Traditional foci of the discipline, such as palaces and sanctuaries, are being approached in new and methodologically sophisticated manners. A notable rise in the scrutiny of material remains suggests diverse new interests in planning and construction, from the scale of an individual architectural member up to a territorial defence network. The integration of recent digital and scientific methods has been remarkable, including widespread adoption of 3D recording and modelling, remote sensing, and compositional analysis. Certain architectural types – in particular fortifications, harbours, and urban planning – have received a great deal more attention than in past decades.

Border studies is a growing and dynamic field, founded in part on study of the Mexico-United States border. Its results, however, have not yet been applied much to the study of the ancient Greek world, where the existence of hundreds of independent cities (poleis) in the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods created multiple borders. Some ancient commentators, notably Aristotle in his Politics, did notice the impact of borders and border culture. This paper offers a preliminary effort to bring together some of the results of present-day border studies with scholarship on the borderlands of Greek poleis, in the hope of contributing to both areas of research and showing where each field can learn from the other.No matter how clearly borders are drawn on official maps, how many customs officials are appointed, or how many watchtowers are built, people will ignore borders whenever it suits them. 1
