“…These studies complement the growing literature assessing the efficacy of walls against changing siege tactics (Scholl 2015; Jonasch 2020; Eisenberg and Khamisy 2021). Two additional questions, which will be revisited below, concern the labour costs of building impressive walls and gates (Taşdelen and Baz 2018;Bessac and Müth 2020;Fachard et al 2020;Boswinkel 2021) as well as the socio-political implications of their patronage and maintenance (Özer and Taşkıran 2018;Müth 2020).…”

“…Architectural energetics is an important new area occupying researchers of both prehistoric and Classical architecture (Brysbaert et al 2018;40 entries). In the past few years, models for estimating labour input have led to new research on: monumental Mycenaean constructions (Turner 2020;Boswinkel 2021;Pakkanen and Brysbaert 2021); Archaic cities (Fitzsimons 2017) and tiled roofs (Sapirstein 2021b); and Classical temples (Marginesu 2020;Patay-Horváth 2020), quarries (Tommaso and Scardozzi 2016), houses (Lancaster 2021), and fortifications (Bessac and Müth 2020;Fachard et al 2020). Epigraphists, too, have contributed to this discourse through the study of building accounts, including chapters in an edited volume (Harter-Uibopuu 2022), a study of seasonality in ancient constructions (Carusi 2021), and reassessments of records at Epidauros (Kritzas and Prignitz 2020; Lambrinoudakis and Prignitz 2020), Didyma (Prignitz 2019), and Delphi (Lamouille 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.
