“…So, while East Lokris and Phokis may appear as a somewhat circumscribed network in map 25, Kalapodi and Delphi functioned as major hubs through which significant "weak ties" were maintained to the surrounding regions. A northern Euboean connection is also significant, both in the network model and in a neat axis of oracles to Apollo that run in a straight line from Orobiai (Rovies) to Kalapodi to Delphi, with Orobiai and Kalapodi in clear visual connection with Mount Parnassos (on the little-known sanctuary at Rovies, see Mariolakos et al 2010).…”

How can archaeological analysis cross these scales? How do the trajectories of early Greek societies relate to those of other human groups (or not)? These questions are necessarily broad, and in this book I have aimed to address them in a way that will resonate with archaeologists interested in other parts of the world as well. With this in mind, I set out to write an archaeological history relevant to people working in a variety of disciplinary traditions-archaeologists and historians of ancient Greece, as well as anthropological archaeologists concerned with the broader archaeology of complex societies.The arguments in this book are built on the achievements of generations of previous scholars. I hope to do justice to their work in discussing it here, incorporating it into new analyses or visualizations, or reframing it in new interpretations. Even if I am in occasional disagreement with these scholars, I have tremendous respect for the efforts of fieldwork, interpretation, and publication that have allowed for the type of synthesis presented here. This book deals with a broad range of evidence and ideas, and it is inevitable that I have gotten some of it wrong. There are certainly sites, discoveries, or interpretations that I have overlooked, and the relevant dataset is ever evolving. Nevertheless, I hope to have provided some new insights concerning early Greece and the Mediterranean world, in ways that will be useful to other scholars as well.My interests in early Greece and the archaeology of complex societies were fos-

“…In close proximity there is also underground stream, as seen in the figure. Also the temple of Amphiaraus, a very important oracular center of antiquity, that was mostly used for healing purposes, lies on a prominent active fault (Mariolakos, Nikolopoulos, Bantekas, & Palyvos, 2010). It is located along a river and the surrounding underground streams.…”

“…It is located along a river and the surrounding underground streams. Mariolakos directly links the seismically active and fractured terrain, and copious thermal spring activity with proliferation of oracular sites in Evia (Mariolakos, Nikolopoulos, Bantekas, & Palyvos, 2010). An example is the Oracle of Apollo in Oroviai, which is located on an active normal fault on the north side of Evia Gulf.…”

Η υπόθεση αυτής της έρευνας είναι ότι οι γεωφυσικές ανωμαλίες έχουν βιολογικά αποτελέσματα και συνδέονται με την αρχαία αρχιτεκτονική μνημείων μέσω της διαδικασίας της όρμησης. Η επίδραση της θέσης και των γεωφυσικών ιδιοτήτων της στην βιολογία ήταν γνωστή από τη αρχαιότητα. Αυτή η εργασία επιχειρεί να προσδιορίσει γεωφυσικές ανωμαλίες και να αναλύσει τις διάφορες παραμέτρους που τις συνθέτουν. Επιπλέον, αναλύονται οι μηχανισμοί μέσω των οποίων αλληλεπιδρούν αυτές οι ανωμαλίες με την ανθρώπινη βιολογία, τη χλωρίδα και την πανίδα. Η επίδραση της έντασης μαζί με την έκθεση στο χρόνο λαμβάνεται υπόψη σχετικά με τις αντιφατικές επιδράσεις των διαφόρων παραμέτρων των γεωφυσικών ανωμαλιών - ορμονίας. Τέλος, εξετάζονται οι γεωφυσικές ιδιότητες της τοποθεσίας των διαφόρων αρχαίων μνημείων σε όλο τον κόσμο, όσον αφορά την πιθανή συσχέτιση με το φαινόμενο της όρμησης. Τα αποτελέσματα καταλήγουν στο συμπέρασμα ότι υπάρχει συνδυασμένη επίδραση της θέσης και της αρχιτεκτονικής των αρχαίων μνημείων στην ανθρώπινη βιολογία και φυτά και γίνεται μια προσπάθεια να υποδειχθεί η πιθανή λειτουργία αυτών των μνημείων.
