“…Many unknown Post-Roman sites have been recorded and about 12,000 medieval and post-medieval sherds have been collected. A large part of this surface pottery is -certainly compared to similar finds in other parts of Greece -of fine quality and remarkably well-preserved (Vroom 1996;1998a;1998b). The finds of the Boeotia survey indicate that the research area has always been a rich and densely populated agrarian region, in which human habitation was never totally interrupted in the Post-Classical period.…”

On the basis of the Post-Roman surface finds from the Boeotia Survey in central Greece, the use and social meaning of glazed vessels as table utensils from Byzantine to Ottoman times (ca. 10th–19th centuries A.D.) will be discussed, as well as the cultural changes in dining manners in that period. It is the intention of this paper to approach this evolution of “wining and dining” habits in an interdisciplinary perspective, in which archaeological data, textual sources and iconographical information will be combined.

“…This is to say that tools and other objects were made from materials directly available and easy to transport, and therefore mostly organic materials such as wood. For instance, Joanita Vroom (1998) has eloquently shown that the rural communities in the Aetolian Mountains in central Greece knew an aceramic tradition during early modern history, and most objects such as dishes were made of wood. She even documented that before the 1950s skins of onions were often used as spoons.…”

PrefaceSince the 1960s, 'landscape' has been a key topic of archaeological research all over the world. Initially drawing on environmental archaeology, and using models from the earth sciences as well as cultural ecology, landscapes have been conceptualised predominantly as the natural environments determining human behaviour or as a backdrop to human action. In the New Archaeology of the 1960s, ecology and settlement patterns were studied together with anthropology, with the aim of piecing together information on past economic and social systems (Trigger 1989, 295). Lewis Binford argued that the goal of archaeology should be to understand the range of human behaviours and the differences in culture, based on a belief that cultures were adaptive responses to our environment (Binford 1962), and archaeologists at the time were optimistic that culture and culture change were rational and could be predicted based on archaeological assemblages and settlement patterns.In This volume will begin with a discussion of Landscape Archaeology and its history, followed by a discussion of themes and summaries of the papers in this volume. We end with some concluding remarks 10 · landscape archaeology between art and science and suggestions for future research.

Recent investigations on the Isthmus of Corinth by the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey (EKAS) have revealed a series of relatively humble fortifications situated along the ridge of Mt. Oneion, which forms the southern boundary of the Isthmus. These Late Classical-Early Hellenistic walls, along with a nearby series of later Venetian fortifications, were designed to block access to the south through several low passes. Controlling the passage of northern armies through the Isthmus to the Peloponnese was clearly a long-term strategic concern for diverse regional powers.
