  • Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Zakynthos Island, Greece
    ANNALS OF THE UPPER SILESIAN MUSEUM IN BYTOM ENTOMOLOGY Vol. 27 (online 004): 1–13 ISSN 0867-1966, eISSN 2544-039X (online) Bytom, 9.11.2018 LECH BOROWIEC1 , SEBASTIAN SALATA1,2 Notes on ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Zakynthos Island, Greece http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1481794 1 Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Taxonomy, University of Wrocław, Przybyszewskiego 65, 51-148 Wrocław, Poland e-mail: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Abstract: Forty five ant species were recorded from the Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands) in 2018, including seven not attributed to any formally described taxon. A comparison of ant fauna of Zakynthos with ant fauna of Samos islands is presented. Both islands have similar surface area (405.6 versus 476.4 km2) and are placed almost on the same latitude (37°) but represent the most western and the most eastern fauna complexes in Greece; 78 species and morphospecies were recorded from both islands but only 23 species are common. Key words: ants, Greece, East Aegean Islands, Samos, faunistics, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Zakynthos is a Greek island placed in the Ionian Sea. It is the third largest of the Ionian Islands, placed 13.5 km south of Kephalonia – the largest Ionian island, and 18 km west of the Peloponnese. It is also a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands Region. The area of the island is 405.55 km2 and it is 37 km long and 19 km wide. Its coastline is roughly 123 km. The island is very diverse, with a mountainous plateau on its western half, steep cliffs on southwest coast, and densely populated and fertile plain, with long sandy beaches and several isolated hills, on the eastern part.

  • Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region
    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves.

    A bit of crystal blue… Zakynthos Zakynthos is an island bursting with things to see, explore and enjoy - from the beautiful beaches, lovely traditional villages, picturesque mountain scenery, watersports, sights such as the Shipwreck and Venetian Castle and as if that wasn't enough there are also several interesting museums; an ideal way to learn more about this wonderful place and its distinguished residents. Zante Vacation Zakynthos is one of the Greek Ionian Islands located off the west coast of the Peloponnese. The island is one of the greenest and most beautiful in the archipelago and boasts some superb sandy beaches. It's the beaches of Zakynthos that make the island a magnet for the package holiday hordes that migrate here between Easter and October. The busiest seaside resorts rival those of Corfu in terms of their frantic nightlife and all-action beach scene. But if you venture further afield than the main resort areas you'll find some lovely secluded coves, dramatic mountain scenery and unspoilt inland villages. The island's mega resort is Laganas on the south coast where 14 kilometers of golden sand gently shelves into shallow water. The main beachfront is chock-a-block with bars, restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks and you'll find all manner of watersports and leisure facilities including ballooning and glass-bottomed boat rides. If you're after 24-hour partying, Brit bars, curries and quiz nights then this is the place for you. You may even find yourself swimming alongside the beautiful loggerhead sea turtles which use the soft sand of the south coast beaches as their nesting grounds.

ISBN: 978-960-85145-5-3 ISSN: 2459-3230 Communication and Trade at Tegea in the Bronze Age Hege Agathe Bakke-Alisøy Communication is a central part of any discussion of the Aegean Bronze Age and the development of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations. Movement and communication is always present in human society. The archaeological material from the Tegean Mountain plain indicates the importance of inland communication on the Peloponnese during the Bronze Age. I here look at the settlement structure at the Tegean plain in the Bronze Age, and its relation to possible routes of communication and trade. By discussing changes in settlement pattern, land use, and sacred space my aim is to trace possible changes in the local and regional communication networks in this area. During the EH communication and trade networks at Tegea seems primarily to have had a local focus, with some connection to the more developed trade nodes in the Gulf of Argos. A strong Minoan influenced trade network is also observed in Tegea from the MN and early LH with Analipsis and its strong connection to Laconia. The abandonment of Analipsis correlates with changes in the communication patterns due to a strong Mycenaean culture in the Argolid by the end of LH. The changes observed in the communication network suggest that Tegea, with its central location on the Peloponnese, could be seen as an interjection for all inland communication.

Box 51154, GR-145 10 Kifissia, Greece Marathonissi: This has been by far the best year [for turtles] on the island of Marathonissi; there were hardly any visitors compared to previous years. This is partially due to a posted day-guard, the regular presence of the Sea turtle Protection Society (STPS), and the efforts of the Port Police. Problems with lights from the residential areas of Laganas, Kalamaki, and Keri, and sound pollution from the disco on the islet of Agios Sostis, still exist. East Laganas: This 2 km stretch of sand extends from Zante Beach Hotel to the cliffs of Hipsolithos and is divided into three sectors (A, B, C). Sector A: This sector extends from Zante Beach Hotel to 200 m before Kalamaki Beach Hotel, and a very good situation exists here. During the day there are no umbrellas and no sun-chairs, beach users possess a high degree of awareness, and there is a satisfactory implementation of protection measures due to a joint effort by the STPS and the Port Police to safeguard the coastal entrance to the protected beach. A few ambitious onlookers try to sneak in at night, but all are denied access. In 1985 and 1986, >100 persons in one hour attempted to trespass! During the last two years (1988 -1989) the number has dwindled to 1 -10 persons per night.

Approximately 870km2, mainly forest and agricultural land, were lost, more than 60 people were killed, hundreds were injured and many villages suffered ex- tensive damage. Heavy rainfall and human activities, favoured by the loss of vegetation and the overall susceptibility of geological formations in landsliding, induced the manifestation or re- activation of various scale landslide phenomena. In order to investigate and mitigate the prob- lem University of Patras was commissioned by the Region of Western Greece to undertake an Engineering Geological and Geotechnical investigation. Site investigation accomplished in seven municipalities focusing on several landslide events with serious socio-economic impact and as a result many small scale cases were identified. In

    VENETIANS AND OTTOMANS IN THE SOUTHEAST PELOPONNESE (15th-18th century) Evangelia Balta* The study gives an insight into the historical and economic geography of the Southeast Peloponnese frorm the mid- fifteenth century until the morrow of the second Ottoma ill conquest in 1715. It necessarily covers also the period of Venetialll rule, whiciL was the intermezzo between the first and second perio.ds of Ottoman rule. By utilizing the data of an Ottoman archivrul material, I try to compose, as far as possible, the picture ())f that part of the Peloponnese occupied by Mount Pamon, which begins to t he south of the District of Mantineia, extends througlhout the D:istrict of Kynouria (in the Prefecture of Arcadia), includes the east poart of the District of Lacedaimon and the entire District of Epidavros Limira .

  • Arkadian Landscapes”
    Parker, C. (2006) “Arkadian Landscapes”. Rosetta 1: 10-21 http://www.rosetta.bham.ac.uk/Issue_01/Parker.htm Rosetta 1. http://www.rosetta.bham.ac.uk/Issue_01/Parker.htm Arkadian Landscapes Catherine Parker University of Birmingham Introduction People far removed from all things Greek might just about be forgiven for thinking that Arkadia is perhaps not a real place at all. In many people’s minds it looms large as an imaginary, idealized landscape, a paradise treated as such by Virgil in the 1st Century BCE1, employed as the backdrop of landscape paintings by Poussin in the 18th Century and still the subject of modern novels about journeys to paradise.2 This view would not be wrong but, unlike the comparable Elysian, Arkadian ‘fields’ are tangible and can be visited in person. It is a region of both modern and ancient Greece, the landscapes of which deserve a reappraisal. This paper attempts to do just that, during a period that raises questions regarding continuity and change; the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (c.1600-800 BCE). This involves using a post-processual, interpretive approach, which employs an empathic view of landscape – an approach perhaps more at home in British prehistoric archaeology.3 Archaeological Investigation of Arkadia Located in the central Peloponnese, Arkadia has received relatively little attention archaeologically compared to other areas of Greece. This has been the case particularly for the LBA and EIA, although the 1990s saw a plethora of surveys take place which, due to their diachronic nature have provided evidence for the period in question.4 Nonetheless, much of the archaeological work in Arkadia (as in the rest of Greece) has been motivated by a desire to illustrate well known ancient literary sources, concerned with individual sites and well-known periods, for example the temple of Bassae, Mantinea, Megalopolis, Tegea and Stymphalos.5 That these sites were located in Arkadia was hardly relevant.
