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. In questa sede si intende ricostruire il quadro delle vicende insediative di epoca classica ed el - lenistica connesse alla porzione occidentale del territorio dell’isola di Lemno che ricadeva sotto la giurisdizione della città di Myrina: tale distretto, in relazione al quale

Thewalt@chemie. uni-ulm. de Abstract The present study describes the geology and mineralogy of the main petrified wood occurrences in Evros-Rhodopi and Limnos and integrates them in a volcanic- hydro thermal framework taking into consideration the nature of hydrothermal solu­ tions during the silicification process. In the Lykofi-Fylakto-Lefkymi area, quartz and opal-CT are the main silica polymorph within the wood. The hostrocL· exhibit a zeolitic alteration suggesting reduced and slightly alkaline fluids for the silicifica­ tion of wood. At Kassiteres/Sappes area the presence ofsilicified wood within kao- linite±alunite altered tuffbreccias indicates that slight acidic fluids were involved in the silicification processes. In Limnos Island the fossiliferous Portianou, Varos- Roussopouli and Moudros-Roussopouli areas occur in the periphery of an eroded volcanic edifice exposed at Fakos peninsula. The silicified wood occurs: (a) within weakly altered pyroclastics and (b) associated to several horizons of sinters inter- bedded within the pyroclastics.

  • Lemno Dai ‘Tirreni’ Agli Ateniesi
    SIA ANNUARIO Volume LXXXVIII Serie III, 10 - 2010 LEMNO DAI ‘TIRRENI’ AGLI ATENIESI SCUOLA ARCHEOLOGICA ITALIANA DI ATENE LEMNO: DAI ‘TIRRENI’ AGLI ATENIESI. PROBLEMI STORICI, ARCHEOLOGICI, TOPOGRAFICI E LINGUISTICI (Napoli, 4 maggio 2011) lemno in età arCaiCa nel presente contributo presento un tentativo di inquadramento della facies archeologica do - cumentata a lemno tra il periodo orientalizzante e l’età arcaica, attraverso l’esame delle principali scoperte effettuate presso i due centri principali dell’isola nell’antichità: myrina sulla costa occi - dentale ed efestia su quella nord-orientale. il periodo cronologico in questione, compreso tra l’ul - timo quarto dell’viii e la fine del vi sec. a.C., è caratterizzato da una cultura peculiare che sembra aver subìto una drastica interruzione nelle sue principali manifestazioni in seguito alla conquista ateniese dell’isola intorno al 500 a.C. 1. Premessa negli ultimi anni, la documentazione archeologica dell’isola di lemno si è arricchita di nuove, importanti scoperte effettuate a myrina e, soprattutto, ad efestia (Fig. 1): i recenti scavi condotti in quest’ultimo sito hanno rivelato una complessa stratigrafia che ha consentito di stabilire che l’insediamento conobbe un periodo di vita ininterrotto dall’età del Bronzo all’età bizantina. le esplorazioni degli ultimi anni hanno permesso, infatti, di mettere in luce i resti di un abitato del tardo elladico iiia-B 1 e, inoltre, un grande deposito di ceramica cd. ‘grigia’ che, ascrivibile all’età del Ferro, attesta indirettamente la presenza contestuale di un florido insediamento 2. le ricerche condotte in precedenza nello stesso insediamento dalla scuola archeologica italiana di atene (prima, negli anni ’30, con la direzione di a.
