“…Since the decipherment, archaeologists have been busy trying to connect these place names with Late Helladic IIIb (LHIIIb) sites discovered through intensive and extensive regional survey. The most recent project to tackle Mycenaean Messenia is the Pylos Regional Archaeological Project (PRAP; see Davis, 1998;Davis et al, 1997;Lee, 2001;Parkinson and Cherry, 2004;Zangger et al, 1997a), and John Bennet, PRAP's field director, has published several important papers regarding the evolution of settlement in the vicinity of Pylos both before and after the foundation of the palace (Bennet, 1988(Bennet, , 1999a(Bennet, , 1999bBennet and Shelmerdine, 2001). …”

“…In recent years, the medieval and later periods of European history have been targets of intense archaeological investigation, much of it focused on settlement and settlement patterns (e.g., Athanassopoulos, 1997;Beneš, 1995;Berglund, 1991;Bintliff, 1996;Everson and Williamson, 1998;Larsson et al, 1992;Lee, 2001;Moreland, 1992;Pattison et al, 1999;Randsborg, 1989;Saunders, 1995;Stedman, 1996;Vroom, 1998). This has required careful integration of archival and archaeological resources (Astill and Davies, 1998).…”

European Regional Studies: A Coming of Age?

This article reviews current developments in European regional studies. A brief history of settlement archaeology as practiced in Europe is followed by a discussion of new approaches to regional analysis and surface survey. I argue that recent, steady investments in the technology, methods, and theory of regional archaeological analysis and surface survey have stimulated advances in the study of settlement patterns and settlement pattern change through time in many parts of Europe. When innovative technologies (e.g., remote sensing, GPS, GIS), methods (e.g., geoarchaeology, "siteless" survey), and new theoretical frameworks (both processual and postprocessual) have been combined, breakthroughs in our understanding of European settlement have resulted. In the last half of the article, I describe some of these breakthroughs in a broad discussion of European settlement history, beginning with the earliest prehistory of Europe through the Middle Ages. Shifts in perspective are particularly apparent for phases of transition: from the Middle to Upper Paleolithic, Paleolithic to Mesolithic to Neolithic, and with the rise and expansion of states.

“…In earlier decades, before the advent of absolute dating techniques, indirect methods were frequently employed by landscape archaeologists to suggest chronologies for terrace construction; for example, on associations with nearby ancient buildings or other structures of known age (in Crete, Greece) [28], with surface finds (in Petra, Jordan) [29][30][31], or according to the attributes of the terrace walls [32]. Morphology and construction style may provide chronological indicators, but this could be frustrated by replication and re-use of established construction methods.…”

Agricultural terraces provide farmers in hilly landscapes with effective ways to increase the area available for crops. They mitigate the risks of soil erosion and promote crop productivity by slowing surface water runoff and retaining moisture. As in other parts of the world, terraces have been constructed and used in the Mediterranean for millennia. The availability of terraced agriculture had important socio-economic, ecological, and environmental implications for past societies. However, the chronology of construction, use, and abandonment of terraces in different regions remains uncertain. A more robust set of chronological data will allow better assessment of whether terrace agriculture was a resilient strategy in the face of past economic or ecological instability and, in turn, inform how terraces could be used to address future agricultural and environmental challenges. In this paper, we review the application of luminescence dating to terrace sediments, the key challenges involved, and the currently published data which include over 250 luminescence ages. We also discuss the use of a multidisciplinary approach involving other geoarchaeological tools (e.g., use of GIS analyses, field-based luminescence readers, and micromorphology) to enhance the ways that past terrace systems can be understood. Terrace systems are inextricably linked to sustainable land use across the Mediterranean. Luminescence dating methods, therefore, have a crucial role to play in understanding the complexities of past and future landscape change.
