    Crete April 2016 Bonelli’s Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete April 9 - 19, 2016 With Elissa Landre Photo of Chukar by Elissa Landre With a temperate climate, Crete is more pristine than the mainland Greece and has a culture all its own. Crete was once the center of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), regarded as the earliest recorded civilization in Europe. In addition to birding, we will explore several famous archeological sites, including Knossos and ancient Phaistos, the most important centers of Minoan times. Crete’s landscape is very special: defined by high mountain ranges, deep valleys, fertile plateaus, and caves (including the mythological birthplace of the ancient Greek god, Zeus) Rivers have cut deep, exceptionally beautiful gorges that create a rich presence of geological wealth and have been explored for their aromatic and medicinal plants since Minoan times. Populations of choughs, Griffon Vultures, Lammergeiers, and swifts nest on the steep cliffs. A fantastic variety of birds and plants are found on Crete: not only its resident bird species, which are numerous and include rare and endangered birds, but also the migrants who stop over on Crete during their journeys to and from Africa and Europe. The isolation of Crete from mainland Europe, Asia, and Africa is reflected in the diversity of habitats, flora, and avifauna. The richness of the surroundings results in an impressive bird species list and often unexpected surprises. For example, last year a Blue- cheeked Bee-eater, usually only seen in northern Africa and the Middle East, was spotted. Join us for this unusual and very special trip.

The Egyptian civilization is thought to have been begun in about 3150 BC until 31 BC. For the ancient Greek civilization, it started in the period of Minoan (ca. 3200 BC) up to the ending of the Hellenistic era. There are various parallels and dissimilarities between both civilizations. They co-existed during a certain timeframe (from ca. 2000 to ca. 146 BC); however, they were in two different geographic areas. Both civilizations were massive traders, subsequently, they deeply influenced the regional civilizations which have developed in that region. Various scientific and technological principles were established by both civilizations through their long histories. Water management was one of these major technologies. Accordingly, they have significantly influenced the ancient world’s hydro-technologies.

  • Comments on the Proposed Itanos Gaia (Cavo Sidero) Development
    Moody and Rackham Comments on the Itanos Gaia Resort Development, June 2016 1 Comments on the proposed Itanos Gaia (Cavo Sidero) Development by Jennifer Moody and Oliver Rackham† June 20161 These comments and discussion are our assessment of the Sustainability Report (ΣΜΠΕ, 2014) and maps for the Itanos Gaia Resort Development (hereafter The Development) posted online in 2014 by Loyalward Ltd (hereafter The Developers) and written by ECHMES Ltd. The publically available documents describe a number of land categories including tracts to be built on, as well as other land classifications that should not be impacted by the development (Figure 1). We are primarily concerned with the tracts of land designated for tourist development: class A. Nearly 40 % of the area (37.21 %) falls into this category. Class A land is divided into two categories: A1 and A2. A1 land (30.16 %), denotes areas where tourist installations will be built (ΣΜΠΕ, Ch 2, p. 14). Development in A1 zones will include any of the following (ΣΜΠΕ, Ch 3, p. 23): a) Tourist Accommodation (major and non-major, complex tourist accommodation etc). b) Special tourist infrastructure and other tourist facilities (convention centers, golf courses, spas, etc.) c) Mild port infrastructure (indicative permanent moorings) d) Retail stores and services included in the tourist accommodation or amenities; e) Sports facilities included in tourist accommodation or amenities; f) Cultural facilities included in tourist accommodation or amenities; g) Religious sites included in tourist accommodation or amenities; h) Public gathering spaces - which fit in tourist accommodation or amenities; i) Focus which fits in tourist accommodation or amenities; j) Canteens included in tourist accommodation or amenities; k) Parking (buildings tennis) included in tourist accommodation or amenities; l) Equipment showrooms to promote local and organic products m) Any other related uses which do not alter the general in the property A2 land (1.76 %) is where supporting installations will be built (ΣΜΠΕ Ch 2, p.

  • The Great Minoan Eruption of Thera Volcano and the Ensuing Tsunami in the Greek Archipelago
    Natural Hazards 5: 153-168, 1992. 153 © 1992 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. The Great Minoan Eruption of Thera Volcano and the Ensuing Tsunami in the Greek Archipelago JOHN ANTONOPOULOS Civil Engineering Department, School of Engineering, University of Patras, GR-26110 Patras, Greece (Received: 28 March 1990; in final form: 9 April 1991) Abstract. The eastern Mediterranean has been the cradle of many great civilizations. The history of the area consisted of glorious battles, heroic acts, and the rise and fall of great civilizations. But, sometimes, natural hazards became the cause for a new classification of the political, as well as of the military status quo of the region. The enormous eruption of the submarine volcano at the Greek island of Thera (Santorini) during the Bronze Age, around 1500 BC, is such a natural hazard. The tsunami generated by the eruption, literally wiped out the peace-loving Minoan civilization who inhabited the island of Crete. After the sea subsided, the configuration of the area was altered, and the decline of the Minoan principality on the Archipelago began. The present paper introduces evidence concerning the tsunami and states some of the after-effects which were partly responsible for the decline of the Minoan empire. All the information is gathered from historical sources and from recent research works. An effort has been made to include many of the theories introduced by various researchers through time concerning the event. Finally, information has been included from all known research, as well as from the author's own conclusions, in order to make the paper useful to future researchers.

  • Arsinoe in the Peloponnese: the Ptolemaic Base on the Methana Peninsula
    Arsinoe in the Peloponnese: the Ptolemaic base on the Methana peninsula D. Gill In the late nineteenth century, an Egyptian portrait head was recovered from the sea off the island of Aegina. The piece, clearly a royal portrait with double crown and broken uraeus, was inscribed with hieroglyphs and was quickly rec- ognised as a portrait of Ptolemy VI Philometor. It is not clear if the portrait had been displayed on the island of Aegina or somewhere bordering the Sa- ronic Gulf, or if it had been dumped in modern times as excess ballast from a passing sailing ship. One possibility is that the statue was linked to one of the Ptolemaic bases in the Aegean, perhaps that located at the nearby peninsula of Methana. The Methana Peninsula The Methana peninsula adjoins the eastern side of the Argolid, pointing into the Saronic Gulf (Figure 1). To the east lies the island of Poros, and to the north-east the island of Aegina. Methana is linked to the mainland by a nar- row isthmus, a feature which was fortified from at least the fifth century BCE. The peninsula is largely volcanic, and the main dome rises to 760 m. Mineral springs are found around the peninsula, on the north side at the modern set- tlement of Pausanias, named in honour of the second century AD Roman travel writer who described the peninsula, and on the east side at Loutra, the modern spa-town of Methana, much frequented by present-day Athenians. The historic settlement of Methana lay on the west side of the peninsula at the site of Palaiokastro near the modern village of Megalochori.

Scientific studies have been published, largely focused in the field of History, Prehistoric Archaeology, Marine Santorini but of Geological changes. This island has to bring, interesting points in different disciplines (Archaeology, History, Folklore, Architecture, Church History, etc.). Thanks to geological history, Santorini became center of attraction and the subject of archaeological research. The group of islands that make up Santorini, belongs to a wider group of islands, that of the Cyclades. The geographical structure, consists of the islands of Thira, Thirasia, Aspronisi, Palea and Nea Kameni occupying an area of 79194 sq. km and a length of 67 km. Thera crescent- shaped with a length of 15 km and a maximum width of about 6 km to the center. The island population of about 14218 inhabitants (2011) and distributed in fifteen villages: Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, Oia, Emporio, Megaloxorio, Pyrgos, Mesa Gonia-Kamari, Exo Gonia, Vourvoulos, Firostefani, Kontoxori, Bothwnas, Karterados, Mesaria, Akrotiri. The highest formation of the island is the rocky mass of the Prophet Elias –there the namesake monastery. West of Thera and towards the northern end lies the second largest island of Thirasia.

Geophysical Data Presentation Using GIS Antonis Vafidis1, Nikos Economou1 and Apostolos Sarris2 1Applied Geophysics Laboratory, Mineral Resources Engineering, Technical University of Crete, Chania 73100, Greece 2Laboratory of Geophysical-Satellite Remote Sensing and Archaeo-Environment, Institute of Mediterranean Studies, Foundation of Research and Technology (F.O.R.T.H.), Rethymno, 74100 Greece Abstract. A GIS project was created in order to manipulate and present geophysical and topographical data from the archaeological site of Itanos, Crete, Greece. This GIS project can handle different types of geophysical images such as maps, depth or time slices, depth sections and three-dimensional images. Thematic information such as type of measurement, station spacing, size of the profile or grid can also be retrieved for each geophysical image. Another feature of the project is the superposition of selected geophysical images and other types of datasets like aerial photographs, as well as archaeological, geological and elevation maps. The combination of maps led to an easier way of presentation and a more valid interpretation of geophysical data. The outline of the ancient port of Itanos was revealed by combining seismic, soil resistance, magnetic gradient and soil conductivity data with a 3D elevation model of the site. Keywords. GIS, archaeology, geophysics. 1 Introduction different types of geophysical data. As an example, the results of an integrated geophysical survey in the archaeological site The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are useful in of Itanos (Crete) are presented.

Kalpaxis b a Applied Geophysics Laboratory, Mineral Resources Engineering, Technical University of Crete, Chania 73100, Greece b Laboratory of Geophysical-Satellite Remote Sensing and Archaeo-Environment, Institute of Mediterranean Studies, Foundation of Research and Technology (F.O.R.T.H.), Rethymno 74100, Greece Received 18 June 2002; received in revised form 22 July 2004 Abstract The results of an integrated geophysical survey at the archaeological site of Itanos (Crete) are presented and discussed. At Hellenistic Itanos, which is located near the seashore, the buried ruins are partially under the saline water table. The purpose of this geophysical survey was to map buried relics of buildings, streets and walls of ancient Itanos. In particular, the usefulness of combining conventional geophysical mapping techniques and high resolution imaging methods in delineating shallow targets of archaeological interest at such complex archaeological sites is studied. Magnetic gradient, soil resistance and electromagnetic measurements were taken in grids covering an area of approximately 16,000 m2. Processing of geophysical maps included filtering with the gradient and first derivative operators in the space domain and the upward continuation and Butterworth filters in the wavenumber domain. Emphasis is given to the mathematical description of the processing steps. The integration of the geophysical measurements revealed the existence of a well and three parallel walls verified by excavation.
