Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Clausiliidae) BASTERIA, 67:115-126, 2004 Polytypic Carinigera buresi in NE Greece (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Clausiliidae) E. Gittenberger& D.R. uit de Weerd National Museum ofNatural History Naturalis / Institute of Biology, Leiden University, c/o PO. Box 9517, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] The diagnosable,geographically localized forms ofCarinigera buresi that are known from NE Greece, are dealt with systematically as subspecies. Two subspecies are described as new to science, viz. C. b. nordsiecki and C. b. polimilitis. The structure of the lamellainserta, hitherto neglected in this species, turned out to be partially diagnostic. words: Key Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Clausiliidae, Carinigera, clausilial apparatus, lamella inserta taxonomy, Greece. INTRODUCTION During malacological fieldwork in NE Greece, the authors, searching for clausiliids in particular, came across some geographically localized forms of Carinigera buresi (A.J. Wagner, 1927). Nearly all these vicariant forms are mentioned already in the literature but of them still have valid (Nordsieck, 1977), some no names. They proved to be more differentiated be clearly than could concluded from the published data. Here we cha- illustrate and these of which racterize, name taxa as subspecies, two as new to science. Greece Only the taxa represented in are included. The only subspecies reported from outside Greece, i.e. C. b. damjanovi Likharev, 1972,from adjoining Bulgaria, couldnot be dealt with in a comparable way because oflack of sufficient research material. Carinigera buresi can be recognized by its medium-sized (height 10.4-19.3 mm), dark- to with less white sutural line greyish-brown shell, a more or prominent, narrow, and some white sutural papillae onthe initial teleoconchwhorls. The lunellais situated dorsally. The initialwhorls are convex, the lower ones are increasingly more flattened.Both the lamel- la and the suturalis less discernible fine parallela plica are usually more or clearly as very lines. Their structure is not clearly diagnostic for any of the subspecies. The same applies to the presence versus absence ofboth a fold and a whitish, oblique, more or less broaden- ed below the patch plica principalis in the aperture. In all but one subspecies at least the middle whorls are smooth; rather coarse radial riblets be on the initial tele- may present oconch whorls and on the final half to quarter of the body whorl. The apertural hp is reflected and be may strongly to extremely thickened, characterizing an entire popula- individual tion, or as only an character. The shell measurements (based on over 50 speci- for all with between the sub- mens subspecies) may vary considerably, large overlaps even species that differ most for this character, i.e. C. b. dramaensis with a shell height varying between and and C. b. conciliatrix 10.4 16.5 mm measuring between 14.2 and 19.3 mm. To differentiatebetween the subspecies the following conchological characters are con- sidered useful: the ofthe the most (1) shape aperture, (2) position and prominence of a dorsal crest on the body whorl, (3) the sculpture of the middle whorls, (4) the shape of the lamellacolumellaris, (5) the forward extension ofthe lamella subcolumellaris, (6) the lamella inserta and its relation to the spiralis, (7) the plica principalis and its relation to the lunella, the and ofthe basalis. (8) presence prominence plica 116 BASTERIA, Vol. 67, No. 4-6, 2004 CarinigeraIt turned out that the structure ofthe lamella inserta, hitherto neglected in buresi, can be used as an additional character to differentiatebetween some of its sub- species. It is a short lamella (figs 1-2), that may be present, running obliquely between the ends of the lamellae columellaris and It the distal inner spiralis. supports most part of the clausilialstalk, where the clausilial blade begins. Whenever developed, the lamel- hole that shouldbe made the wall ofthe la inserta is visible only through a in body whorl, behind the lunella. In C. the inserta is either lamella buresi, developed as a separate (fig. 1), or it is more or less smoothly connected to the spiralis (fig. 2). In the latter case, the its it lamella spiralis may seem to have an irregular course near innerend, where smooth- less after ly changes into the inserta. It may also continue regularly, but more or obsolete, the inserta. The lamellainserta described Schmidt only contacting was clearly already by (1868: 6-7), who indicated that its character states cansometimes be used to characterize low level taxa.

NAA was first applied in archaeology in 1974 at the Radioanalytical Laboratory, and since 1989 has been one of the primary analytical techniques of the ‘Demokritos’ archaeometry programme. A case study is also presented, concerning chemical patterning of the black-on-red Neolithic pottery class from Macedonia. Four chemical groups were identified, each corresponding to a different area of production. It is shown that this standardized concept of pottery technology and style was spread out within at least eastern Macedonia.

Stavrou 17, 65110 Kavala, Greece http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2016.02.002 Numerous researchers discuss of the collapse of civilizations in response to abrupt climate change in the Mediter-ranean region. The period between 6500 and 5000 cal yr BP is one of the least studied episodes of rapid climate change at the end of the Late Neolithic. This period is characterized by a dramatic decline in settlement and a cul-tural break in the Balkans. High-resolution paleoenvironmental proxy data obtained in the Lower Angitis Valley en-ables an examination of the societal responses to rapid climatic change in Greece. Development of a lasting fluvio-lacustrine environment followed by enhanced fluvial activity is evident from 6000 cal yr BP. Paleoecological data show a succession of dry events at 5800–5700, 5450 and 5000–4900 cal yr BP.

    AGRICULTURE AS NICHE CONSTRUCTION: ECO-CULTURAL NICHE EVOLUTION DURING THE NEOLITHIC (c. 6200 - 4900 BC) OF THE STRUMA RIVER VALLEY A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Brent Robbie Whitford 2017 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program September 2017 Abstract Agriculture as Niche Construction: Eco-Cultural Niche Evolution During the Neolithic (c. 6200 – 4900 BC) of the Struma River Valley Brent Robbie Whitford The Neolithic Period (c. 6200 – 4900 BC) in the Struma River Valley led to numerous episodes of cultural diversification. When compared with the neighbouring regions, the ecological characteristics of the Struma River Valley are particularly heterogeneous and the Neolithic populations must have adapted to this distinctive and localized ecological setting. It then becomes reasonable to ask if the evolution of cultural variability in the Struma River Valley was at least partially driven by the ecological setting and differentiation in the evolution of the early agricultural niche. In this thesis, I apply an approach based on niche construction theory and Maxent species distribution modeling in order to characterize the relationship between culture and ecology during each stage of the Neolithic Period and to assess diachronic change. An interpretation of the results demonstrates that the continuous reconstruction of the early agricultural niche allowed for settlement expansion into new eco-cultural niches presenting different natural selection pressures and that cultural change followed. I also found that cultural and historical contingencies played an equally important role on the evolution of populations and that ecological factors alone cannot account for the numerous episodes of cultural diversification that occurred throughout the region.

The dissertation deals with the study of unpublished figurines from the Tsakos collection of the Archeological Museum of Thessaloniki. Micrographic objects are a very interesting category of prehistoric material culture and among them figurines are the most representative. Neolithic figurine production bears multiple aspects of ideological and social background. In Macedonia, human and animals are the main topic and the aesthetic context in the performance of their forms ranges from complete stylization to impressive realism. The focus of this dissertation is to study figurines from multiple aspects, i.e. construction, typology and morphology. Regarding technology, the assemblage is examined with respect to raw material, construction techniques, surface treatment and decoration. Concerning morphology/typology, the figurines are analyzed in the context of their form, gesture, posture, representation, sex and iconography.

The development of the Southern Rhodope Key Points: Core Complex occurred in two stages: (i) core complex exhumation accommodated by the Kerdylion • Core complexes of the North Aegean resulted from large-scale extension detachment and (ii) steep normal faulting controlling the deposition of Neogene sedimentary basins that driven by slab rollback segmented the core complex.

  • A Multiscalar Model for the Strymon Neolithic
    A MULTISCALAR MODEL FOR THE STRYMON NEOLITHIC Presented for the degree of MPhil in Archaeology FEBRUARY 28, 2019 CARDIFF UNIVERSITY Kati Baneva A Multiscalar Model for the Strymon Neolithic Declarations I declare that, except where indicated by specific reference, the work submitted is the result of the candidate’s own investigation and the views expressed are those of the candidate.

Candidate Signature: Kati Baneva i A Multiscalar Model for the Strymon Neolithic Thesis Summary There are geographic regions in south-eastern Europe which have been continuously overlooked by mainstream Anglophone prehistoric discourse. This had been at the basis of an unavoidably patchy understanding of the mechanism of the European Neolithic as a whole. My work targets the lack in understanding of a little-known area in the Southern Balkans. This thesis is about the Neolithic of the Strymon River which flows from Bulgaria into Greece. Hailed as a highway or incoming neolithization groups, the Neolithic of the river’s catchment is little-known, despite the richness of its material and settlement records. The thesis presents material previously unavailable to English-speaking audiences and an original perspective on the Neolithic of south- eastern Europe. It is a work which aims to avoid the separation of the river’s catchment based on national borders. The analytical model which this work proposes is of a mutliscalar nature, incorporating both temporal and spatial scales, in an attempt at creating a holistic understanding of a prehistoric area.
