Gli studi che sono stati fino ad oggi condotti sia sulla documentazione letteraria ed epigrafica di argomento lemnio che sull’evidenza archeologica, quest’ultima nota prevalentemente dalla città e dal territorio di Hephaestia, hanno permesso di rilevare che, a partire dal V sec. a.C., furono in - trodotti nell’isola nuovi modelli organizzativi sia sul piano istituzionale, giuridico ed amministra - tivo, che nella pianificazione urbanistica e territoriale.
