ABSTRACTThis article explores ways in which the increasing segmentation and specialization of domestic space in central and western Greece in the 8th-4th centuries b.c. relate to social complexity. Segmentation served to differentiate between members of a household, introducing different patterns in the use of space, both between men and women and between free and slave. The need for physical boundaries and architecturally specialized rooms intensified as the size and heterogeneity of communities increased, and stronger cues in the built environment were needed to ensure that behavioral conventions were observed. Other factors contributing to the increase in rooms include social stratification and economic specialization.

“…There can be little doubt as to the identity of the site even if not all the structures are contemporary, and no artefacts were found inside any of the structures. Morris, S. and Papadopoulos 2005). According to Foxhall (2007, 121-4, 199-200) the terracing is likely to be Post-Antique.…”

The farmsteads of the Classical period in particular have sparked an intense debate over their existence, character, and use (e.g.…”

This article explores some recent developments in the investigations of isolated rural settlements, and the methodologies to elicit differences and similarities among the Vari and the Dema houses and the class of sites identified as farmsteads by intensive surveys by the Laconia Rural Sites Project. In particular, the article discusses the ceramic use-typology pioneered by T.M. Whitelaw as an analytical tool for the study of artefactual variability of the surface assemblage related to activity differentiation, and a more detailed use-typology developed for the Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project (TAESP) in Cyprus, which is based not only on the morphology and surface treatment of a vessel, but on all the physical properties of the pottery including fabric, manufacturing techniques, and style. The consideration of a wider range of physical properties is especially important when working with pottery from surveys, because specific shapes can only be ascribed to a small proportion of potsherds, while the TAESP methodology allows the inclusion of a much larger proportion of material.Το άρθρο αυτό εξετάςει ορισμένες πρόσφατες εξελίξεις στην έρευνα απομονωμένων αγροτνκών οικισμών και τις μεθόδους που έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί για την επισήμανση διαφορών και ομοιοτήτων μεταξύ των οικιών στη Βάρη και το Δέμα και των θέσεων εκείνων που έχουν αναγνωριστεί ως αγροκτήματα από εντατικές επιφανειακές έρευνες για λογαριασμό του ‘Προγράμματος Αγροτικών Θέσεων Λακωνίας’. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, το άρθρο συςητά την χρήση-τυπολογία της κεραμεικής που αναπτύχθηκε από τον T.M. Whitelaw ως εργαλείο έρευνας για τη μελέτη της ποικιλομορφίας του υλικού αρχαιολογικών συνόλων που προέρχονται από επιφανειακές έρευνες και σχετίζονται με τη διαφοροποίηση δραστηριοτήτων. Επίσης συζητά την πιο λεπτομερή χρήση-τυπολογία που αναπτύχθηκε από το ‘Αρχαιολογικό και Περιβαλλοντικό Πρόγραμμα Επιρανειακής Ερευνας Τροόδους’ (TAESP) στην Κύπρο. Η μεθοδολογία ιου TAESP δεν βασίζεται μόνο στην μορφολογία και την επεξεργασία της επιφάνειας ενός αγγείου, αλλά και σε όλες τις άλλες φυσικές ιδιότητες της κεραμεικής όπως την κεραμεική ύλη, τις τεχνικές παραγωγής και την τεχνοτροπία. Η εξέταση μιας ευρύτερης σειράς φυσικών ιδιοτήτων είνοα ιδιαίτερα σημαντική για τη μελέτη της κεραμεικής από επιφανειακές έρευνες, καθώς συγκεκριμένα σχήματα μπορούν να αποδοθούν μόνο σε έναν αναλογικά μικρό αριθμό οστράκων, ενώ με τη μεθοδολογία του TAESP ένα αναλογικά μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό κεραμεικής μπορεί να συμπεριληφθεί σε αντίστοιχες μελέτες.
