“…Recent studies of borders and borderlands, such as in the Mazi Plain on the borders of Attica and Boeotia, have overturned assumptions concerning the attribution of fortifications to one polity or another and highlighted shifting levels of engagement between larger polities and rural communities (Knodell et al 2017b;Fachard et al 2020). While regional survey began mainly with prehistorians leading the way (even if in classical contexts), many projects are now also concerned with the more recent past, employing approaches derived from documentary archaeology (especially Venetian and Ottoman tax documents and land records) and ethnography (e.g., Davis 1991;Erny and Caraher 2020;Galaty et al 2013).…”

In this paper we describe the development and state of archaeological surface survey in the Mediterranean. We focus especially on surface survey as a means of documenting long-term settlement patterns at various scales, as an approach to the archaeology of regions, and as a pathway to the interpretation of past landscapes. Over the last decades, literature on Mediterranean survey has increasingly emphasized a distinct set of practices, viewed both favorably and critically by regional archaeologists in the Mediterranean and elsewhere. We show that Mediterranean survey in fact comprises several discrete regional traditions. In general, these traditions have much to offer to wider dialogues in world archaeology, particularly concerning sampling and research design, the interpretation of surface assemblages, and the integration of complex, multidisciplinary datasets. More specifically, survey investigations of Mediterranean landscapes provide comparative data and potential research strategies of relevance to many issues of global significance, including human ecology, demography, urban-rural dynamics, and various types of polity formation, colonialism, and imperialism.

The Greek landscape preserves a wide diversity of settlements of different character, which were established or developed especially during the later Post-Medieval and Early Modern periods (17th–19th centuries). Early studies in Post-Medieval and traditional rural settlements, with specific reference to Greece, have made a distinction between permanent and temporary ones. Temporary agricultural and pastoral settlements usually comprised 40–50 καλύβια or seasonal habitations, while permanent ones comprised clustered villages and hamlets of a compact or loose layout, such as the çiftlik or commercial farm estates. These rural settlement types appeared in mainland Greece in the 17th–18th centuries, and were used for the production of cash-crops to feed the growing demand for raw materials by rising industrial and capitalist states in Western Europe. Thus, past studies have primarily focused on the general appearance of rural settlements, on the economic forces that shaped their history in pre-modern Greece (and Cyprus), or, more recently, on aspects of their abandonment and post-abandonment formation processes and material change.
