The Fourth Season of Danish-Greek Archaeological Fieldwork on the Lower Acropolis of Kalydon in Aitolia Has Now Been Underway for Two Weeks
The fourth season of Danish-Greek archaeological fieldwork on the Lower Acropolis of Kalydon in Aitolia has now been underway for two weeks. The fieldwork is a collaboration between the Danish Institute at Athens and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Aetolia-Acarnania and Lefkada in Messolonghi and directed by Dr. Søren Handberg, Associate Professor at the University of Oslo and the Ephor Dr. Olympia Vikatou. This year work focuses on the completion of the excavation of the Hellenistic house with a courtyard, which was first identified in 2013. During the past two weeks, the excavations have already produced significant new finds. In one room, where a collapsed roof has preserved the content of the room intact, fifteen small nails have been identified, which presumably originally belonged to a small wooden box kept inside the room. Last Friday, an Ionic column drum was excavated in an area that might be part of the courtyard of the house. A considerable amount of Roman Terra Sigillata pottery of the Augustan period has also been found, which is surprising since the ancient literary sources suggest that the city was abandoned at this time. The ongoing topographical survey of the entire ancient city has revealed approximately thirty previously undocumented structures, one of which might be a larger public building in the eastern part of the city. This year’s team comprises 50 people from Greece, Denmark, and Norway including students of archaeology from Aarhus University, the University of Copenhagen and the University of Oslo. The project is grateful to the Carlsberg Foundation for the continued financial support, which facilitates the fieldwork that is essential for establishing the ancient history of Kalydon and the region of Aitolia. -
Biological Agriculture in Greece: Constraints and Opportunities for Development
BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN GREECE: CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT By Leonidas Louloudis Department of Agricultural Economics and Development Agricultural University of Athens Paper presented to the Seminar: “The Common Agricultural Policy and the Environmental Challenge – New Tasks for the Public Administrations? European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) Maastricht (NL), 145-15 May 2001 2 DRAFT PAPER (not to be quoted) BIOLOGICAL AGRICULTURE IN GREECE: CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT Leonidas Louloudis Department of Agricultural Economics and Development Agricultural University of Athens Introduction Organic agriculture or biological agriculture, as it is called in Greece, does not account to more than 0.63% of the national agricultural output. But since the last food crisis (winter 2000) caused by the sudden re-appearance of the "mad-cow disease" in Europe, it has gained a new developmental momentum. The Greek press, although no incident of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy has been recorded so far within the national borders, covered this last food crisis extensively and devoted much space on the risks to human health, which were considered almost innate to the conventional agro-food system, and to the associated consumption and dietary patterns. In this historical conjuncture, biological agriculture entered the public debate through the mass media as the most immediate and radical solution to the industrial system of food production, which had lost its reliability almost entirely. The Ministry of Agriculture was not prepared to deal with such a severe crisis in the meat sector and thus to apply competently the measures against BSE, agreed upon at EU level. Thus it rushed to support that biological agriculture, and more specifically biological stockbreeding, is the only solution that guarantees a safe and healthy way out of the problem. -
The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework. -

In Focus: Corfu, Greece
OCTOBER 2019 IN FOCUS: CORFU, GREECE Manos Tavladorakis Analyst Pavlos Papadimitriou, MRICS Director www.hvs.com HVS ATHENS | 17 Posidonos Ave. 5th Floor, 17455 Alimos, Athens, GREECE Introduction The region of the Ionian Islands consists of the islands in the Ionian Sea on the western coast of Greece. Since they have long been subject to influences from Western Europe, the Ionian Islands form a separate historic and cultural unit than that of continental Greece. The region is divided administratively into four prefectures (Corfu, Lefkada, Kefallinia and Zakinthos) and comprises the islands of Kerkira (Corfu), Zakinthos, Cephalonia (Kefallinia), Lefkada, Ithaca (Ithaki), Paxi, and a number of smaller islands. The Ionian Islands are the sunniest part of Greece, but the southerly winds bring abundant rainfall. The region is noted for its natural beauty, its long history, and cultural tradition. It is also well placed geographically, since it is close to both mainland Greece and Western Europe and thus forms a convenient stepping-stone, particularly for passenger traffic between Greece and the West. These factors have favored the continuous development of tourism, which has become the most dynamic branch of the region’s economy. Island of Corfu CORFU MAP Corfu is located in the northwest part of Greece, with a size of 593 km2 and a costline, which spans for 217 km, is the largest of the Ionian Islands. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality is also named Corfu, after the island’s name, with a population of 32,000 (2011 census) inhabitants. Currently, according to real estate agents, foreign nationals who permanently reside on Corfu are estimated at 18,000 individuals.
