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

    First Announcement www.icd2019.gr Welcome Address Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is a distinct privilege and honor for me to be invited to serve as President of the ICD- European Section for the year 2018-2019 and to have the pleasure to host the 64th Annual Meeting of the European Section in my hometown, Thessaloniki Greece. Thessaloniki, which is also called the “nymph of Thermaic Gulf”, is the second largest city and port in Greece with about one million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, located in central Northern Greece at the northwestern corner of the Aegean Sea and in the vicinity of the beautiful resort area Chalkidiki. Thessaloniki is also Greece’s second major economic, industrial, commercial and political centre; it is a major transportation hub for Greece and southeastern Europe, notably through its port. Thessaloniki was founded in 315 BC by Cassander (Kassandros) and was named after his wife, a half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessalonike. The city is counting nowadays 2333 years of history. It was an important metropolis during the Roman Empire period and the second largest and wealthiest city of the Byzantine Empire after Constantinople. It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1430, and passed from the Ottoman Empire to Greece on November 8, 1912. The city is renowned for its festivals, events, good food and vibrant cultural life in general and is considered to be Greece’s cultural capital. International events such as the “Thessaloniki International Trade Fair” and the “Thessaloniki International Film Festival” are held annually. Thessaloniki is also home to numerous notable Byzantine monuments, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as several Roman, Ottoman and Sephardic Jewish structures.

  • Active Faults in North Greece
    The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources (GreDaSS): state-of-the-art for northern Greece. Caputo R.*, Chatzipetros A.°, Pavlides S.° and Sboras S.* *) Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ferrara, Italy °) Department of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources (GreDaSS) is a repository of geological, tectonic and active fault data for the Greek territory and its surroundings. In this paper, we present the state-of- the-art of an on-going project devoted to the building of GreDaSS, which represents the results of decades of investigations by the authors and a myriad of other researchers working on the active tectonics of the broader Aegean Region. The principal aim of this international project is to create a homogenized framework of all data relevant to the seismotectonics, and especially the seismic hazard assessment, of Greece and its surroundings as well as a common research platform for performing seismic hazard analyses, modelling and scenarios from specific seismogenic structures. In particular, we introduce and synthetically describe the results obtained (and included in the database) up to date relative to the northern sector of continental Greece and Aegean Sea. As a first step we collected all available data (both published and unpublished) relative to the historical and instrumental seismicity determining the causative faults. Following the experience of recent 'surprising' earthquakes (e.g. 1995 Kozani and 1999 Athens), we realized the deficiency of such approach and decided to include in GreDaSS also active faults (i.e. seismogenic sources) recognized on the basis of geological, structural, morphotectonic, palaeoseismological and geophysical investigations.

  • Technical and Economic Analysis for the Bioenergy Production from Agricultural Residues in the Region of Central Macedonia
    Technical and Economic Analysis for the bioenergy production from agricultural residues in the region of Central Macedonia Christina Moulogianni1, Thomas Bournaris1, Banias Georgios2 1Department of Agricultural Economics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, e-mail: [email protected] 2School of Economics and Business Administration, International Hellenic University, 57001 Thermi, Greece, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The aim of this paper is to analyze the bioenergy production from agricultural residues. The selected case study was the agricultural area of the Region of Central Macedonia in Northern Greece. In this context, a technical and economic analysis is conducted for the existent crop plans in each of the seven regional units of the region. The analysis included the calculation of six indicators (three economic and three environmental indicators). From the calculations derived the existent values for the bioenergy (thermal energy and electrical energy) production of the region. From the results we can conclude that the size of each regional unit is the most important factor for the results of the indicators. The second important factor is the variety of crops in the existent crop plans. On the other hand, the number of crops that participate in the crop plan seems not to play any role for the indicators calculations. Keywords: bioenergy, agricultural residues, thermal energy, electrical energy 1 Introduction Almost two thirds of renewable energy sources, in the European Union (EU), origin from biomass, including agri-food waste (Fischer and Schrattenholzer, 2001). As biomass sources are considered energy crops, agricultural crop residues, animals’ waste and forest residues. The bioenergy production from agricultural residues enhances the role of agriculture in the creation of new sustainable energy sources and connects directly with rural development policy (Rosillo-Calle, 2003).
