Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.

  • Objectives and Preliminary Results from Crete
    Anastasia G. Yangaki Τhe Immured Vessels in Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Churches of Greece Research Programme: objectives and preliminary results from Crete Abstract The study presents the preliminary observations from the “Immured vessels in Byzantine and Post-Byzantine churches of Greece” research programme with a focus on immured vessels in churches on Crete. It refers to the areas where this practice is most widespread, to the most common patterns in which the vessels are placed on church façades, and to the different categories of glazed wares used asbacini . Particular interest is paid to the reasons why bacini are used and to the importance of their study, not only for this particular aspect of the material culture of Crete, but also for the additional information they provide about the monuments they adorn. Keywords: Immured vessels, bacini, churches, glazed pottery, Venetian and Early Modern periods, Crete I. Introduction ‒ General information on the research programme Although the practice of embedding glazed open clay vessels in patterns on the exterior walls of ‒ mostly religious ‒ buildings has been noted in various areas (for example: Berti, Tongiorgi, Tongiorgi 1983, 35), the most systematic research conducted to date has been in Italy. The pioneering composite studies conducted by G. Berti and L. Tongiorgi on vessels immured in churches in Pisa are included among the numerous relevant studies1 (Berti, Tongiorti 1981; Berti 1992, 133-172). In the territories of what is now Greece, although this form of decoration was identified very early by scholars of Byzantine architecture, with the earliest references dating from the first half of the 20th c.

  • Fourteenth-Century Regional Cretan Church Decoration : the Case of the Painter Pagomenos and His Clientele
    Angeliki Lymberopoulou Fourteenth-century regional Cretan church decoration : the case of the painter Pagomenos and his clientele Series Byzantina 8, 159-175 2010 Series Byzantina VIII, pp. 159 175 Fourteenth-century Regional Cretan Church Decoration: the Case of the Painter Pagomenos and his Clientele* Angeliki Lymberopoulou The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK This paper has arisen from certain important questions regarding the way the production of art on Crete during the period of its Venetian domination (1211-1669) has been studied. For ex­ ample, research on the fourteenth-century frescoes in provincial churches, on which I would like to focus, involves attributions based on stylistic analysis. Broader practical circumstances of the creation of these fresco decorations have not been studied in detail and, therefore, a number of questions have been answered only very partially or not at all. Why, for instance, were decorated churches built in greater numbers in certain regions than in others? While stylistic attributions have given rise to tentative reconstructions of entire artistic schools, what can be assumed real­ istically about the size and composition of the workforce involved in the creation of the frescoes? And what was the relation between the social status of the patrons who commissioned fresco decorations and the style in which they were executed? While not claiming to have precise an­ swers to all these questions, I would like to present a few case studies which will, I hope, be an incentive for further research in this direction. The period of Venetian domination on Crete was a direct outcome of the Fourth Cru­ sade.1 The Venetians obtained the island in the aftermath of the first fall and sack of Con­ stantinople by the crusaders in 1204 - although they had to fight off their naval rivals, the Genoese, and managed to establish their rule on the island only from 1211 onwards.

Introduction The objective of the Project CRETAPLANT (LIFE04NAT_GR_000104, Fig. 3.1) has been the creation of a pilot Plant Micro-Reserves Network in Western Crete (Chania Prefecture), on the trail of the pioneering experience of the Valencia Re- gion (Spain). The network is comprised by 7 reserves of an area less than 20 hectares each (Fig. 3.2, Table 3.1). Each reserve has been established on pub- lic land, within 4 NATURA 2000 sites and includes a signi cant part of (if not all) the population of the following targeted species of European Community priority: *Androcymbium rechingeri, *Anthemis glaberrima, *Bupleurum kakiskalae, *Cephalan- thera cucullata, *Hypericum aciferum, *Nepeta sphaciotica and the priority habitat 9370, *Palm groves of Phoenix. The Habitat and Species Directive 92/43/ EEC includes 28 plant species of Community priority for Greece: 8 of them grow in Crete, 6 in the Chania Prefecture (of which 5 ONLY in Cha- nia and nowhere else on the planet).

The place of origin of the Latin language was the capital of the Roman Empire, site of the Pontifical State under the temporal power of the popes, and capital of the Kingdom of Italy (from 1871 to 1946).
