“…Certain periods (Arab, Muslim, Ottoman) are poorly investigated or chronological assignments are made with little supporting evidence. For instance, coastal sites in Crete are often dated up to the 7 th century under the assumption that Arab raids ended coastal occupations [10,11,12].…”

Synecdemus Novus is a dataset of published archaeological sites, buildings, and associated markers located in Crete and dating between the Late Roman Period (3rd century C.E.) and the Venetian domination of the island (1204 C.E.). The dataset, consisting of 1234 entries, lists the location, spatial coordinates, type of the site/ building/marker, chronological range, and relevant scholarly references for each entry. Synecdemus Novus is a resource for heritage management and allows researchers to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of settlement patterning in Crete between aforementioned periods.

“…The growing interest in these time periods has resulted in an increased number of research projects, workshops, congresses, and publications over the last 15 years. While the Roman, Late Antique/Protobyzantine, and Early Byzantine periods have been receiving greater attention for some time now, and it is predominantly these earlier phases that this article will report on, it is only in the last five years that the transitional periods from Byzantine to Islamic to Venetian Crete have begun to receive more archaeological attention (Randazzo 2019; 2020; Coutsinas et al 2022).…”

This article aims to overview the last 15 years of archaeological work on Crete (2007–2022) for the Roman and Byzantine periods. It is a resource that can provide the first step in the research process for those looking to investigate these time periods in Crete. It not only communicates recent discoveries and research, but also directs scholars to earlier key publications – which this article follows on from – and to an extensive bibliography of recently published research. After covering the main publications of the last 15 years and the workshops, congresses, and conferences that have taken place, it organizes the recent archaeological discoveries by site type. It begins by covering surveys of both the landscape and those conducted underwater that have been extensive across and around Crete. It then covers public buildings and infrastructure, domestic architecture, production and craft, and cemeteries. While it is not a complete listing of all finds, it summarizes the key discoveries, publications, and events in order to demonstrate the major developments for study of these time periods in Crete.

In January 2019, the colloquium entitled ‘The Medieval Countryside: An Archaeological Perspective’ was held in San Diego, gathering among some of the most prominent scholars working on the Medieval rural landscape across the Aegean and Anatolia. Recent projects of field-surveys and landscape archaeology focusing on these regions, in fact, have played a fundamental role in improving the understanding of rural settlement patterns and forms of habitation and land use during the Middle Ages. Discussion, moreover, has touched upon some academic flaws and obstacles to interdisciplinary approaches, especially emphasising the persisting marginal impact of these survey projects, and their rich datasets of material evidence, in existing historiographical narratives and sociocultural reconstructions of the Medieval countryside in these regions.
