“…Other Roman cemeteries have been identified on the edge of the urban space in the area of Magoulitsa in the south-west, which also contained Late Antique period burials, and Mousga in the north (Raftopoulou 1998, 136). The church at Kleombrotou also has a Late Antique cemetery associated with it, while more recent work in the nearby street of Gortsologou has indicated evidence for an earlier Roman cemetery (Blackman 1997–8, 37; Whitley 2004–5, 28–9; Whitley et al 2005–6, 37–8).…”

The issue of the persistence of paganism is now quite well considered; however, it is only in recent times that the same concern approached from another perspective, the multifaceted nature of the Christianisation of the Peloponnese, has become the topic of detailed discussion. It is likely that Christianisation in Achaea took place incrementally and with a variety of effects according to the location. The processes of how this took place and under what circumstances remain to be discussed in detail. As a considered and active process, understanding methods of conversion should provide insights into the nature of society at the time, particularly in terms of communications. Church location reflects a range of choices made in terms of the conversion process and therefore is fundamental to analysing religious transformation. Such insights are important, particularly given the dearth of historical sources for, and difficulties of refining, church chronologies in the Peloponnese. In the case of the Late Antique Peloponnese, a great deal is known about many individual churches as a result of quite extensive excavation of a majority of them, particularly through the work of Pallas and Orlandos. This evidence, together with the results of a survey of all the known Late Antique churches in the Peloponnese undertaken in 2012, makes possible a synthetic interpretation of all the material within the surrounding landscape. While the precise chronologies may remain elusive, this present study shows how sociological theories of conversion processes can be applied to the topographic analysis of the Late Antique churches of the Peloponnese to help determine the nature of Christianisation across the diachronic range. In this work I will present some new theories regarding processes and phases of conversion, and the implications of these in terms of understanding networks and society in the Late Antique Peloponnese.

“…3 ' The evidence for settlement at Elaious, a non-polis in the Argolid, runs out in the third century. 32 However, on the positive side, a town abandoned earlier might be refounded on a new site, such as Asine in the Argolid 33 or Leontion in Achaea (above). Also refounded were several existing poleis, as when King Demetrios I moved the people of Sikyon to a more secure location, for his own strategic purposes (Diod.…”

Between Macedonia and Rome: political landscapes and social change in southern Greece in the early Hellenistic period

This paper examines the nature and extent of changes in landscapes, societies, and economies in the numerous city-states of the Peloponnese under Macedonian domination (338–196 BC). Emigration and warfare may have had limited and short-term impacts. While Macedonian rule may have been oppressive before and after the Chremonidean war, it did not necessarily disrupt local economies and politics. The Antigonids did not run the Peloponnese as a province, and were concerned mainly with security. Though the building of towns and forts declined, and some cities were abandoned or lost freedom at times, others enjoyed new amenities and religious architecture. Epigraphic output was maintained, and a sharp increase in the centralization of inscriptions in central places post-dates 200. The traditionally oligarchic culture of most city-states was probably unchanged; and while the élite domination of land and politics may have intensified, archaeological survey reveals no trends that can conclusively be attributed to Macedonian rule.

“…by the end of MH period, making it the largest settlement in Western Messenia at this date (Bennet 2007a:32;Bennet and Shelmerdine 2001:135). Traces of walls and floors on and around the Englianos hill attest to the existence of buildings that used some kind of ashlar masonry (Blackman 1997(Blackman -1998Blegen et al 1973:32-40;Nelson 2001:180-181 and Fig. 78), while the settlement was seemingly encircled by a 'circuit wall' in the MH III-LH I period (Bennet 2007a:34;Blegen et al 1973:8-13;Nelson 2001:192-193;Zangger et al 1997:606-613).…”

Στη διδακτορική μου εργασία εξέτασα ζητήματα χρόνου και χρονικότητας στις κοινωνίες της Κνωσού και της Πύλου κατά την Ύστερη Εποχή του Χαλκού (π. 1400-1200 π.Χ.), συνδυάζοντας αρχαιολογικές (αρχιτεκτονική, εικονογραφία) και γραπτές μαρτυρίες (αρχεία της Γραμμικής γραφής Β). Στόχος της διατριβής μου ήταν αφενός να εντάξω τις έννοιες του ‘χρόνου’ και της ‘χρονικότητας’ ως αναλυτικές κατηγορίες στην θεωρία και μεθοδολογία της Αιγαιακής προϊστορίας και αφετέρου να εξετάσω συγκεκριμένες περιπτώσεις σχετιζόμενες με αντιλήψεις για το χρόνο, μορφές χρονικότητας και χρονικές διαιρέσεις σε αναφορά με το ανάκτορο της Κνωσού στην Κρήτη και το ανάκτορο της Πύλου στην Πελοπόννησο. Συνδυάζοντας, λοιπόν, νεωτερικά θεωρητικά και μεθοδολογικά πλαίσια εργασίας και βασιζόμενη σε σύγχρονες μεταξύ τους αρχαιολογικές και γραπτές μαρτυρίες πρότεινα μια ανασκευή των ετήσιων και εποχιακών κύκλων της Κνωσιακής διοίκησης αναφορικά με την οργάνωση και διαχείριση των εριουργών κοπαδιών, την υφαντική βιοτεχνική παραγωγή και την διαχείριση του εργατικού δυναμικού που απασχολούνταν στην ανακτορική διοικητική οργάνωση και οικονομική-βιοτεχνική παραγωγή. Παράλληλα, εξέτασα πώς αντιλήψεις χρονικότητας (ως οι διαστάσεις του ‘παρελθόντος’, ‘παρόντος’ και ‘μέλλοντος’) συνδυάζονταν με άλλες κοινωνικές αντιλήψεις και πρακτικές της εποχής, όπως πολιτική και θρησκευτική εξουσία, ιδεολογία, πολιτική και κοινωνική ταυτότητα, εξυπηρετώντας και αναπαράγοντας το ιεραρχικό πολιτικό-ιδεολογικό σύστημα των ανακτορικών κοινωνιών της Κνωσού και της Πύλου κατά την εξεταζόμενη περίοδο της αιγαιακής προϊστορίας.
