The Primal Greece : Between Dream and Archaeology
The primal Greece : between dream and archaeology Introduction The Aegean civilisations in the French National Archaeological Museum « This unusual form […] reveals an unknown Greece within Greece […] as solemn, profound and colossal as the other is radiant, light and considered; […] all here meets the reputation of the Atrids and brings back the horror of the Achaean fables », wrote on 1830 in front of the walls of Mycenae, the traveller Edgard Quinet, who was passionate about Greek tragedies. Like other travellers before him, he was aware of approaching the memory of an unknown past, of a primal Greece, but he would never have believed that this Greece dated from prehistoric times. It will be the end of the 19th century before the pioneers of archaeology reveal to the world the first civilisations of the Aegean. The « Museum of National Antiquities» played then a key role, spreading the knowledge about these fabulous finds. Here, as well as in the Louvre, the public has been able to meet the Aegean civilisations. The Comparative Archaeology department had a big display case entirely dedicated to them. The exhibition invites visitors back to this era of endless possibilities in order to experience this great archaeological adventure. Birth of a state, birth of an archaeology As soon as it becomes independent (1832), Greece is concerned with preserving its antiquities and creates an Archaeological Service (1834). Shortly afterwards, Ephemeris Archaiologike, the first Greek archaeological review, is founded, at the same time as the Archaeological Society at Athens. The French School at Athens is founded in 1846 in order to promote the study of antiquities, and is followed by a German study Institute in 1874; many other countries will follow the example of France and Germany.

Unusual Bulk-Rock Compositions in Eclogite-Facies Rocks from Ž / Syros

Cyclades, Greece include meta-ophiolitic blocks of unclear originŽ. meta-olistostrome or tectonic melange´ . These blocks occur in a matrix of altered serpentinite andror semipelitic to tuffitic schists. Some samples are characterized by very high trace-element concentrations, for example, eclogites from Tinos contain up to 4950 ppm Zr and up to 480 ppm Y. Understanding of the geochemical controls on the petrogenesis of these rocks has important consequences for interpretation of geochronological results. The emphasis of this study is on the behaviour of Zr under eclogite-facies P–T conditions. Due to remarkably high modal amounts of zircon, some samples from the meta-ophiolite suite are suitable for U–Pb zircon chronology. The geological significance of zircon ages can only be correctly interpreted by assessing whether zircon crystallized from a melt or formed during subsequent hydrothermal or metamorphic processes. The results of this study lead us to conclude that infiltration of trace-element enriched fluids during eclogite-facies metamorphism caused local-scale compositional changes. Textural observations document the presence of a fracture network favouring fluid infiltration under high-pressure conditions. Such a system of microfractures might have provided infiltration paths for trace-element enriched fluids during earlier stages of high-pressure metamorphism.

Evolution of Turnover of Enterprises in Accommodation and Food Service Activities
HELLENIC REPUBLIC HELLENIC STATISTICAL AUTHORITY Piraeus, 22 September 2020 PRESS RELEASE EVOLUTION OF TURNOVER OF ENTERPRISES IN ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD SERVICE ACTIVITIES JULY 2020 The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) with this ad hoc sectoral publication, presents the map with the evolution of the turnover of enterprises classified in the Accommodation and Food and Beverage Service Activities divisions. These economic activities have been over time in the focus of interest due to the significant weight they bear on the Greek economy as a whole, but also due to their extensive dispersion, with a significant presence in all regional units and a significant contribution to the respective local economies of Greece, often associated with the tourist product of the country. At the same time, under the recent circumstances, the monitoring and dedicated publication of the evolution of these economic activities has become imperative, given the direct and indirect adverse impact they have been subjected to, due to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current publication is part of the ad hoc Press Releases series published by ELSTAT (PR link), since April 2020. Similar publications have been planned to be released on a monthly basis, throughout the whole period during which the regular monitoring of the evolution of the turnover of enterprises providing Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities will remain relevant and warranted. In particular, the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) announces data on a monthly and quarterly basis and at the regional unit country-level of analysis, for the turnover of enterprises classified in the divisions Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities (divisions 55 and 56 of the NACE Rev.2 classification) for the period 2019-2020.

Besides the intrinsic rheological characteristics of the continental crust that may lead to the formation of shallow-dipping shear zones at the brittle–ductile transition, the role of pre- existing low-angle structures such as large thrusts has been proposed by several authors.

The Metamorphic History of Naxos (Central Cyclades, Greece)
The metamorphic history of Naxos (central Cyclades, Greece) Deciphering the Oligocene and Miocene exhumation events Alexandre Peillod Academic dissertation for the in Geology at Stockholm University to be publicly defended on Monday 4 June 2018 at 10.00 in De Geersalen, Geovetenskapens hus, Svante Arrhenius väg 14. Abstract High pressure, low temperature (HP-LT) rocks observed at the surface of the Earth are evidence of past subduction zones. Understanding the tectonics processes that control the exhumation of HP-LT metamorphic rocks in these subduction zones requires full comprehension of the pressure-temperature-time (P–T–t) cycle that the rocks experienced. In the Cyclades, Greece, the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) hosts eclogite and blueschist facies rocks. However, the processes that exhumed them are debated. The overall aim of this thesis is to understand how the Eocene HP-LT rocks were exhumed in the central Cyclades based on a study of the metamorphic history of Naxos Island and nearby Syros Island. In this thesis, I carried out a systematic geothermobarometric and geochronological investigation on Naxos to better constrain the P–T– t paths that are recorded by the rocks. The data indicate that high-P metamorphism on Naxos occurred in the Eocene at c. 40Ma and the HP-LT rocks were exhumed by two tectonic events. The first exhumation event occurred in the Oligocene. The HP-LT rocks were exhumed in a convergent setting by an extrusion wedge. The top of the sequence reached greenschist facies conditions at c. 32 Ma, whereas the bottom of the sequence remained at greater depth (equating to pressures of 8–12 kbar).

The Tsunami Caused by the 30 October 2020 Samos (Greece), East Aegean Sea, Mw6.9 Earthquake: Impact Assessment from Post-Event F
The tsunami caused by the 30 October 2020 Samos (Greece), East Aegean Sea, Mw6.9 earthquake: impact assessment from post‐event field survey and video records Ιoanna Triantafyllou1, Marilia Gogou1, Spyridon Mavroulis1, Katerina‐Navsika Katsetsiadou1 , Efthymios Lekkas1 and Gerassimos A. Papadopoulos2 1 Department of Geology & Geoenvironment, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, 15784 Athens, Greece; [email protected] (I.T.); [email protected] (M.G.); [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (K.‐N.K.); [email protected] (E.L.) 2 International Society for the Prevention & Mitigation of Natural Hazards, 10681 Athens, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: In this report we present results regarding the impact and the hydrodynamic features of the tsunami that hit Samos and other Eastern Aegean Sea Greek islands soon after the 30 October 2020 earthquake (Mw=6.9). The analysis combines post‐event field survey observations, video records examination and an evaluation of interviews with local authority officers and eyewitnesses. The event was a near‐field tsunami arriving within 10’‐15’ at the north coast of Samos and at the eastern side of Ikaria island. From seven far‐field tide records we calculated tsunami magnitude Mt=Mw=6.8. In Vathy town (NE Samos) two strong inundations have been clearly recognized with arrival time difference of 20’, the second being more powerful as compared to the first. Maximum run‐up was measured at h~2.0 m asl in run‐in distance d=97 m. In Karlovasi (NW Samos) a strong inundation (h~1.70 m at d~80 m) was reported immediately after an initial sea water retreat in ~10’ after the earthquake.
