Papadopoulos, Chair This research project examines the appearance and proliferation of some of the earliest cremation burials in Europe in the context of the prehistoric north Aegean. Using archaeological and osteological evidence from the region between the Pindos mountains and Evros river in northern Greece, this study examines the formation of death rituals, the role of landscape in the emergence of cemeteries, and expressions of social identities against the backdrop of diachronic change and synchronic variation. I draw on a rich and diverse record of mortuary practices to examine the co-existence of cremation and inhumation rites from the beginnings of farming in the Neolithic period

  • Aiani—Historical and Geographical Context
    CHAPTER 5 AIANI—HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT G. Karamitrou-Mentessidi Aiani—Elimiotis—Upper Macedonia According to the foundation myth preserved by Stephanos of Byzantium, “Aiani, a Macedonian city, was built by Aianos, a son of Elymos the Tyr- rhenian king, who migrated to Macedonia, ‘Aianaios’ was the ethnikon.” A reference to the city of Aiani was found by the French academic L. Heuzey in 1861 in two inscriptions in churches in the village of Kalliani (whose name may derive from “kali Aiani,” meaning “fair Aiani,”: in 1926 it was renamed Aiani). They led to various theories about the site of the settle- ment and its urban organization. The problem was not solved until offfijicial excavations began. Even if an urban settlement by the name of Elimeia did also exist, Aiani became the capital of Elimiotis at a very early date. The district of Elimeia or Elimiotis, bordering Orestis and Eordaea to the north, occupied the southern part of Upper Macedonia on both sides of the middle reach of the River Haliacmon, although its exact territorial extent is difffijicult to determine. During the Hellenistic era it appears to have included the region of Tymphaea to the west and, perhaps at an earlier date, the northern part of the Perrhaebian Tripolitis (Pythium, Azorus, and Doliche). Territorial disputes between Elimeia and its neigh- bours occurred, as can be seen in a Latin inscription found at Doliche, in which the emperor Trajan (101 ad) defijined the boundary between the Elimiotae and the inhabitants of Doliche by reviving an earlier ruling by King Amyntas III (393–369 bc) on the same issue.

Die geologischen Untersuchungen in Thessalien betrafen eine Anzahl von Phänomenen, welche die Lage von Siedlungen in prähistorischer Zeit in ein ande- res Licht rücken, aber auch Neuerkenntnisse für ihre wirtschaftliche Grundlage liefern. Inhalt von Studien sind Anstieg und Fall des Meeresspiegels, tektonische Veränderungen, die Alluviation der Ebenen, der Einschnitt und Verlauf der Flüs- se, Größenveränderungen der Seen und die Evidenz von Vulkanausbrüchen in Südthessalien. Von Bedeutung waren auch anthropogene Effekte wie die Entwal- dung der Landschaft, wogegen klimatologische Veränderungen eine geringere Rolle gespielt haben. Letztendlich zeigen diese Studien auch, daß Fundplätze aufgrund der Alluviation verschüttet sein können.1 Am pagasäischen Golf fand eine ständige Verlandung durch das Schwemmaterial der Flüsse statt. Studien zeigen, daß Petromagula in der Frühbronzezeit am Meer lag.2 Die Alluviation der 1 Papageorgiou – Steiros – Chourmouziadis 1994. Steiros – Papageorgiou 1992.
