This 40th volume of the ASLU series focuses on the study of the Cycladic settled landscape in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine Early Middle Ages. It offers a fresh approach to the history and archaeology of the Cyclades in light of current archaeological investigations. It is an attempt to interpret human-environmental interaction in order to “read” the relationship between islands, settlements, landscapes and seascapes in the context of the diverse and highly interactive Mediterranean world. The methodology proposed is an interdisciplinary approach, which combines archaeological evidence, literary sources, and observations of the sites and micro- landscapes as a whole, with the advantages offered by the application of new technologies in archaeological research (Geographic Information Systems).
The islands of Paros and Naxos are used as case-studies. It is a challenging task to trace how these neighbouring insular communities reacted under the same general circumstances pertaining in the Aegean and to what extent the landscape played a role in this process.
Konstantinos Roussos completed his PhD research at the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University (2017). He has collaborated with survey and excavation projects in Greece, Cyprus and Turkey, and his research interests include the archaeology of Byzantine landscapes and the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages, Material Culture and Application of new technologies in Byzantine Archaeology.
