Introduction As in the previous years we hereby want to report on our plant collecting activities in 2006 and their results. By that we want to inform all partners and contributors to Flora Hellenica on the recently collected plant material and on the visited regions of Greece. The plant collection is now available in Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem. This material will hopefully be used for an updating of the published two volumes of Flora Hellenica and for the elaboration of the future volumes. In 2006 we have been in the North of Greece from April 4th to May 7th. In this time we visited mostly lowland and hillside regions in the prefectures of Kozanis, Imathia, Kilkis, Serres, Drama and Thessaloniki, that seemed to be undercollected in the past time. We collected plants at 341 localities. 142 of these localities had been agricultural sites, 98 oak-woods, scrubs and mixed woods, 98 Quercus coccifera-scrubs, 60 rocky areas, mostly rocky slopes along the roadside, 16 pinewoods and 60 herbal roadsides. No isolated areas, isolated mountains, deep valleys or islands. The chance to find spectacular species, specialized variaties or maybe endemisms was very low. Nevertheless it made sense to have a close look at thes areas and regions to complete the distribution of a lot of species, especially of those of agricultural areas. Visited localities of are shown in the following map. Fig. 1: Localities visited in year 2006 3 As can be seen in the following figure 64 % of visited localities have been at an altitude lower than 300 m. 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 0-95 100-195 200-295 300-395 400-495 500-595 600-695 700-795 800-895 900-995 1000- 1350 fig. 2: Vertical distribution of localities visited in spring 2006 (number of localities above altitude in m) As in the previous years we have planned our daily collection on base of 10 x 10 km-UTM-squares. Within these we selected typical topographical sites and biotopes and tried to collect all species flowering and fruiting as far as they had been seen and identified by us. At second and third collection points within the same square we tried to avoid doublings. As in the past years we used 6 presses each of them calculated for approximately 50 plants, this means an overall capacity of 300 plants per day. For optimal use of the available capacity of the six presses we had to place in each press between 8 and 12 times two plants between the corrugated cardboard instead of the normal 1 plant. This did not cause any qualitative problem. The reason is that we optimised again the used combination of C-line (3,2-3,9 mm) and B-line (2,2-3,0 mm) corrugated cardboard. Over night we used a continuous change of B- and C-line corrugated board. The drying result over night was such good, that the remaining number of slightly wet plants in the morning had been approximately 30-50 specimen only. After rainy days, having collected really wet plants, the remaining number of slightly wet plants could increase up to 100 plants. To replace dried material it is necessary to open the presses in the morning, to select dried plants, to remove tissue material for example from big-flowering Verbascum and in some cases to turn plants by 180 °. Time consumption for the morning inspection is in the range of 12-15 minutes for each press. The drier the plants the less time is needed for controll. For the further drying it is absolutely necessary to use a different combination of corrugated board using 2 B-line followed by 1 C-line and, additionally taking out one of the four infra-red lamps. These measures are necessary to avoid negative high temperatures. Using this technique quality and especially colour of dried plants, even if they filled the whole paper surface, has been astonishing even. It has proved positively to underlay and to cover the flowers of some species like Papaver, Glaucium, Helianthemum, Verbascum, Linum with one line of tissue. These tissues should be removed after 8-10 hours drying (not really necessary for Papaver and Rosa). All plants are mounted labelled and, as far as possible, determined by ourselves. The labels contain the following informations: 4 Sheet-No.: Family: Species: State, Nomos, Locality, Date Biotope, Altitude Short-cut of Locality, UTM, Greenwich Collectors: Sheet-Numbers of this Locality The determination helps us very much to improve the collection process. Though we are no botanists we try to determine the plants at least until level of genus including all failures an amateur is able to do. We hope to minimize determination mistakes as far as possible and hope that all users will excuse our poor knowledge. For our own quality control it is very important that our plant sheet will be gone through, confirmed or corrected by specialists. Determined species are added to our access data-base and finally delivered to the herbarium of the Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem. Here they are waiting for the neccessary scientific assessment. 2.

  • The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
    XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention.

  • Political and International Implications of Integrated Water Resources Management of Transboundary River Basins: the Case of Axios/Vardar River Basin”
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE UNIVERSITY OF MACEDONIA DEPARTMENT OF BALKAN, SLAVIC AND ORIENTAL STUDIES MASTER PROGRAMME IN “POLITICS AND ECONOMICS OF CONTEMPORARY EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE” DISSERTATION “Political and International implications of integrated water resources management of transboundary river basins: The case of Axios/Vardar River basin” MICHAIL I.TSAVDARIDIS Graduate of Political Sciences Thessaloniki 2013 Abstract Abstract The political rivalries over the water resources are highly increased due to their scarcity, several types of pollution, increasing water consumption and several environmental shifts. These tensions are a result of the great number of transboundary river basins worldwide (261). The international institutions promote a remarkable legal framework in order to regulate those dimensions amongst the riparian states. The new EU Water Framework Directive 2000/60 and the decisions of Helsinki convention could be the road map for integrated water resources management (IWRM). In Greece the main renewable resources are “imported” and for this reason the necessity of an IWRM is obvious and a hard task at the same time. This dissertation focuses on the Axios/Vardar river basin and examines the possibility of a possible transnational cooperation in respect of the international law framework. i Table of Contents Table of Contents Abstract .........................................................................................................................

  • Neolithic Society in Northern Greece: the Evidence of Ground Stone Artefacts
    Neolithic society in Northern Greece: the evidence of ground stone artefacts Volume I Christina Tsoraki Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield October 2008 to (j3en ABSTRACT Analysis of ground stone technology from the Neolithic of Greece rarely goes beyond incomplete descriptive accounts to focus on the activities performed with these tools and the contexts of their use. Ground stone products are seen as mundane static objects devoid of meaning and lacking significance. The aim of this thesis is to move away from incomplete accounts of ground stone technology and static typologies. Drawing upon the concepts of the chaine operatoire and 'object biographies' this thesis investigates ground stone technology as a social practice focusing on the life-cycle of artefacts from raw material selection to final deposition. The underlying premise is that a contextual approach can contribute to understanding the ways in which the production, consumption and discard of ground stone artefacts were structured within different forms and scales of social practice and the manner in which these differences articulated different meanings and social understandings. The aims of the thesis were materialised through the study of the rich ground stone assemblage from the LN settlement of Makriyalos, Greece. The analysis of the chaine operatoire of the Makriyalos ground stone assemblage revealed diverse technological choices expressed throughout the cycle of production and use. Established traditions existed according to which specific materials were considered to be appropriate for the production of different objects. Furthermore, detailed analysis suggests that the resulting objects were far from mundane artefacts but were instead active media for expressing choices informed by cultural understandings of appropriateness.

They have been found in the locality of "Pentalophos I" (PNT). The material has been described and compared with the known late Miocene percrocutas of Eurasia. This comparison indicates that it can be identified as Dil/ocrocula gigalllea (SCHLOSSER, 1903). A maxilla of a percrocuta, named "Hyaena" salonicae, was found in the same area (Andrews, 1918).
