  • Lake Vegoritida's Water Level and Catchment Area Alterations As A

Farkas2 1 Department of Ichthyology and Aquatic Environment, School of Agricultural Sciences, University of Thessaly, Fytokou Str., 38445, Nea Ionia, Magnesia, Greece 2 Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, NIBIO, Frederik A. Dahls vei, 20, 1430, Ås, Norway * e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The catchment of Lake Vegoritida is a highly fragile environment. Within its borders there are four inland lakes hydraulically connected to each other. The area is historically characterized by intense industrial and agricultural activities. The objectives of this paper are the following: a) to study and report the modifications occurred to the Vegoritida’s Lake water level and the catchment’s area size due to human activities during the last sixty years (1955- 2016) and b) to review the existing scientific literature concerning the water balance of the lake and its water pollution. To this purpose, the software packages ArcGIS and Surfer were used. The results revealed that due to the completion of hydraulic projects construction that took place in the area, the catchment area was increased by 537% in comparison to 1955. Moreover, the lowest estimations for the absolute altitude, area size covered and water volumes of the lake correspond to the year 2002. However, since 2002 an increase in these parameters has occurred. Systematic information exchange and cooperation between farmers, water agencies, Public Power Corporation (PPC) and research institutes is proposed for the optimal utilization of the water resources of the area.

  • The Case of a Hellenic Region)
    Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol. 2 1177 Land use evaluation and planning for integrated rural development (the case of a Hellenic region) O. Christopoulou1 & G. Arabatzis2 1Department of Department of Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, Greece 2Department of Forestry and Management of the Environment and Natural Resources, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Abstract Proper land use and management of natural resources are considered as subjects of high importance for the achievement of fundamental socio-economic objectives. Lack of competent management and inappropriate use of land, concerning both current and future needs, will result in the continual degradation of these valuable resources. This paper examines the potential for three alternative land uses (agriculture, forestry and range management) and reforestations in the county of Pella. It was established that land usage cannot be changed from agriculture to forestry and/or range management; while on the contrary, the transition from range management to forestry can be successfully achieved. Keywords: land use, land evaluation, land capability, rural development. 1 Introduction The surface of our planet is a mosaic of different foliage and geophysical features. Its characteristics are defined by many different factors such as: permanent and temporary changes in the atmosphere, land type and usage, geological factors, the availability of water and the different plants and animals that are found both above and below its surface. It is at the same time a terrain of both physical and socioeconomic activity, it is the area where human activity takes place and where human needs are met, and it is the foundation on which WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 84, © 2005 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) 1178 Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Cremation, Society, and Landscape in the North Aegean, 6000 – 700 BCE A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology by MaryAnn Kontonicolas 2018 © Copyright by MaryAnn Kontonicolas 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Cremation, Society, and Landscape in the North Aegean, 6000 – 700 BCE by MaryAnn Kontonicolas Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor John K. 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 to the adoption of the Greek alphabet by the eighth century BCE or earlier. Based on my review of the evidence, I also offer suggestions regarding: 1) why cremation is adopted so early in the Neolithic north Aegean, and essentially nowhere else in contemporary southeast Europe and the Near East; 2) why cremation perseveres and re-emerges as a popular burial rite in ii the Early Iron Age in this region; and 3) whether cremation endured in this region in association with kinship-based states attested in the region later in antiquity, or on the basis of social status, gender, age, or personal preference.

    FUNERARY PRACTICES AT CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC EDESSA THE WORLD OF THE DEAD: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES AMONG EDESSA AND OTHER PLACES OF MACEDONIA Spyridon Charalampidis SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia January 2019 Thessaloniki – Greece Student Name: Spyridon Charalampidis SID: 2204170004 Supervisor: Prof. Ioannis M. Akamatis I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. January 2019 Thessaloniki - Greece ABSTRACT This dissertation was written as part of the MA in the Classical archaeology and the ancient history of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. The study deals with the up to present available information about the funerary practices in the ancient Edessa of the Classical and the Hellenistic Period. Historical and archaeological information concerning generally the place, the population and the remains of human culture from early times to the Roman conquest is also included. This information focuses on the period from Archaic Era and later giving a useful historical insight into the society which was characterised by the relevant to the particular study rites. As it concerns the funerary practices, the issues that are discussed have to do with the grave types, the way in which people of the region buried their dead, the funerary ceremonies and the grave gifts that accompanied the deceased. An attempt has also been made to “decipher” the meaning of each among the various categories of items found inside the graves.
