Abstract:
VIII n.s.
La scelta della regione del Peloponneso come oggetto di questo studio nasce dalla possibilità, offerta da tale contesto agli studiosi contemporanei, di potersi confrontare con un territorio ricco di tracce materiali, testimonianze storiche e monumentali di un passato nel quale essa è stata al centro del mondo antico. La proposta di tentare una ricostruzione storica dei paesaggi attraverso le fonti documentarie e la Cartografia storica si inserisce in un filone europeo di studi, che pone le basi nel metodo regressivo di matrice storica, e nell’individuazione ed interpretazione di tracce quali segni residuali del passato nei paesaggi contemporanei. I paesaggi sono elementi pluristatificati dove “le opere durature dell’uomo ovvero le strutture e le infrastrutture necessarie alla sua vita, al suo agire economico, culturale e spirituale, si sovrappongono al substrato naturale e si inseriscono in una eredità storica in via di progressivo arricchimento”. Il “paesaggio storico” è il risultato delle mutate culture, dell’approccio diverso che i vari gruppi umani hanno con l’ambiente che li ospita, e, fattore da non sottovalutare, delle caratteristiche geomorfologiche che hanno determinato l’evoluzione dei luoghi, come le tipologie di occupazione e di sfruttamento. Gli aspetti fisici di un territorio, come i fiumi, i monti, le vallate, determinano la forma degli spazi e rappresentano gli elementi di lunga durata su cui si impostano i paesaggi, che a loro volta vivono e mutano a seconda delle sollecitazioni dell’uomo. Il metodo archeologico per la ricostruzione del paesaggio storico, come notato già da Rizakis nel 1992, è stato elemento di discussione fra i sostenitori di un’archeologia estensiva, che procede all’esplorazione di vaste zone e quanti sono a favore di un approccio intensivo ed esaustivo, che predilige campioni ridotti con il risultato di una maggiore completezza dell’indagine. Il primo approccio traccia su una buona base di dati le linee generali della storia del popolamento, ma dà risposte deboli sui cambiamenti e sulle problematiche relative alla ... [a cura dell'autore]

Abstract:
The eastern Mediterranean area is a region of high archaeological importance, it is also a region where climate has been a force interacting with humans in shaping the landscape and vegetation history. Variations in pollen content and composition in various climate archives (e.g. lake sediments and peat sections) are widely used to reconstruct vegetation changes and human impact in the Quaternary environments. Pollen sampling has been conducted throughout the Peloponnese peninsula but there is a lack of regional synthesis of these locally based studies. The aims of the thesis are partly to show how pollen data may be used in a regional analysis on Late Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation changes, partly to assemble all published pollen data from Peloponnese peninsula in a database. The question formulations are; i) how may a database with pollen dataserve as a basis for interpretations of regional vegetation changes on Peloponnese?, ii) what are the possibilities of using classification of pollen and distinguish between driving factors behind the historic vegetation changes? The constructed database facilitates further research regarding pollen records at Peloponnese. Pollen recordsmay show important patterns in landscape changes during Late Pleistocene and Holocene but using pollen records at a regional scale need comparisons between coring sites which may be troublesome due to different approaches, different species investigated and varied calculation of pollen sum. In order to distinguish between driving forces and actors affecting the vegetation, pollen data may be used both in detail but also in using groups and classifications of the pollen included.

Smith, David Michael. "Hierarchy in the Early Helladic Peloponnese." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.568985.

Full text
Abstract:
The Early Helladic period in the Peloponnese (c. 3100 -2000 BC) is traditionally viewed as a phase of incipient hierarchical social organisation. This interpretation rests with a series of socio-economic developments perceived to represent an increased socio-economic complexity over that visible during the Late and Final Neolithic, including the appearance of organised, highly-socialised burial practices, a monumental architectural tradition, a non-uniform shift in Peloponnesian settlement patterns, the advent of sealing practices, an expansion of overland and maritime trade relationships and an increased visibility for metallurgical practice and Other specialist technologies. The second phase of the period, Early Helladic (E!"!) Il, and particularly so its later stages, is seen to represent a socio-cultural apex for the Early Helladic period and that for which the existence of elite groups on the Early Bronze Age Greek mainland -: has been most fervently proposed. There is a persistent belief that these dynamic multi-scale changes represent correlative developments articulated within a coherent and contemporary 'system' of social behaviours, within which social hierarchy was present from the start or out of which it quickly developed. Through the analysis of infant and adult burial practices, regional settlement activity and the use of monumental architecture in multiple modes of social interaction, this thesis demonstrates that a far more complex situation is evident. One in which systemic centralisation of 'elite' behaviours can be largely deconstructed in favour of temporally- and spatially-specific developments resulting from inter-group interaction or the particular geological, geographical or socio-political position of the study area. Increasingly accurate artefactual chronologies have allowed the identification of local and regional variation in behaviour which challenge existing ideas of 'hierarchy' and its operation in the Early Bronze Age Peloponnese, and suggests instead that the evident complexity of the period may find its origins in non-stratified communal and inter-communal action.

Abstract:
Halvön Mani i södra Peloponnesos, Grekland, ligger enbart 50 km från subduktionszonen Hellenic arc. Det medför att aktiva tektoniska processer påverkar geomorfologin. Genom fjärranalys, analys av digital terrängmodell samt genom ett fem dagars fältarbete har en del av södra halvöns geomorfologi studerats. Recenta processer som idag skapar landformer har identifierats. Av dessa är det främst kemisk vittring och tektonik som dominerar. Även relikta landformer studerades för att skapa en komplettare bild över området. Två stycken stenfält upptäcktes på en av uddarna, som troligen skapats innan udden lyfts upp till nivån den befinner sig idag. Ett konglomerat överlagrade kalkstenen i en av vikarna och vittnar om stora massrörelser som skett då markytan även här var lägre än idag. Ett pediment finns på den västra sidan av berget Sagias. Asymmetrin beror troligen på en kombination av tektonik och havsnivåförändringar.
The Mani peninsula in the south of Peloponnesos, Greece, is situated only 50 km from the subduction zone of the Hellenic arc. The active, tectonic processes taking place influence the geomorphology of the area. Through the use of remote sensing, analysis of a Digital Terrain Model and a five-day fieldwork study, certain areas of the southern peninsula’s geomorphology were examined for this project including recent processes that create landforms to date. Among those, chemical weathering and tectonics dominate. Also relict landforms were studied to get a greater understanding of the area. Fieldwork resulted in the discovery of two fields of rocks in one of the capes, which most likely were created before the cape underwent uplift to its current level. Also, a conglomerate superimposition of limestone in one of the bays showed indication that great mass movements took place when the surface was lower than today. A pediment is located on the west side of the Sagia Mountain. The asymmetry is probably due to a combination of tectonics and sea level changes.

Abstract:
Ce travail vise a etudier les conversions a l'islam dans le peloponnese durant la seconde domination ottomane (1715-1821) et la guerre d'independance (1821-ca. 1832), et les conversions au christianisme lors de cette derniere periode, qui precede la creation de l'etat neo-hellenique. Mais la disparition des siccils des tribunaux turcs du peloponnese empeche une etude plus approfondie des islamisations. Pour comprendre les conversions a l'islam apres 1715, nous voyons d'abord rapidement le meme phenomene durant la premiere domination ottomane (1460-1685/87), ainsi que les reconversions au christianisme (apres 1685/87) d'individus islamises auparavant, surtout dans la contree de gastouni. Apres 1715, de nouvelles islamisations ont lieu, bouleversant la composition ethnique et religieuse du peloponnese. En 1716, quelque 1700 chretiens doivent embrasser l'islam dans le district de gastouni, car ils sont vus par l'administration turque comme des renegats de l'islam. Les conditions economiques difficiles, entre autres, poussent nombre de chretiens a adherer a l'islam jusqu'en 1770. Apres cette annee-la, suite a l'echec de l'insurrection de 1770, les islamisations sont plus frequentes dans deux foyers principaux : peloponnese du sud-est et du nord-ouest. Plusieurs individus ne sont islamises que superficiellement. Le syncretisme religieux et l'osmose, dus a la longue cohabitation de deux peuples, aux mariages entre chretiennes et turcs, caracterisent la vie des convertis. Mais l'eglise et la solidarite communale empechent les conversions a l'islam de prendre de trop grandes proportions. Apres 1821 et jusqu'a 1832 environ, des musulmans se font chretiens a cause des conditions de la guerre mais aussi de leur origine chretienne ou semi-chretienne. A la meme periode sont islamises, dans le peloponnese, en egypte ou ailleurs, des peloponnesiens captures apres 1821, surtout lors de la campagne d'ibrahim pacha dans cette region (1825-1828)
The objective of this work is to study the conversions to islam in the peloponnese during the second ottoman rule (1715-1821) and the independence war, and the conversions to christianity during this period which precedes the creation of the modern greek state. But disappearance of the siccils of the peloponnese makes this study of islamisations difficult. To understand conversions to islam after 1715, we first had to see the same phenomenon during the first ottoman rule (1460-1685/87), as well as conversions to christianity (after 1685/87) of people who had been islamised before, especially in the region of gastuni. After 1715, new islamisations occur, which change the religious and ethnical composition of the peloponnese. In 1716, some christians have to become moslems, because they are considered as renegades by the turkish administration. Economic difficulties too were a good reason why christians become moslems untim 1770. After 1770, and as a consequence of repressed insurrection of 1770, islamisations become more frequent in north-western and in south-eastern peloponnese. Religious syncretism and mutual influence are the product of the long cohabitation between two populations and the result of marriages between christian women and turkish men, and are characteristic of the life of converts. Church and communal solidarity prevent from much more conversions to islam. After 1821 and until 1832 some moslems become christians because of the war and because of their christian or half-christian origin. On the same time, in peloponnese, in egypt and elsewhere, peloponnesian people who were captured by ibrahim pacha after 1821 are islamised

Abstract:
This thesis explores the roles played by secretaries in Athens and the Peloponnese. Secretaries are present in some form in all documents produced by the Athenian boule. They are often named as the writer of a stele, or their existence is inferred from the existence of the document itself. However, little is known about the daily duties of these individuals, as the means of writing and setting up of inscriptions is limited to brief, epigraphic formulae lacking in procedural detail, and any other information about an office is confined to passing references in ancient authors and bald statements in ancient lexica. These issues are even more pronounced in the Peloponnese, where the existence of a secretary can be limited to a single word – his job title or designation – in an inscription, and many unique types of Peloponnesian secretary are absent from ancient historical works and lexica altogether. This thesis takes both a quantitative, and analytical approach to the question ‘what does it mean to be a secretary in ancient Greece?’. It examines all sources from Athens and the Peloponnese which refer to any type of secretary, or specify that an officer is to write something (i.e. perform some or all of the duties of a secretary). It categorises secretaries using various criteria (such as their activities, the duration of their appointment and collegial environment, and their public profile), and thus provides a catalogue of characteristics and duties which fall under the remit of the secretary. Using these criteria, these offices are analysed both geographically and chronologically, to illustrate how the work of the secretary could differ from location to location, and over time. This thesis constitutes the first comprehensive work on the secretaries of Athens in over one hundred years, and the first work of its kind on the secretaries of the Peloponnese.

Abstract:
The fresh water resources of the world are stressed due to the increasing population. Theclimate change has also affected the water resource availability due to the occurrence offrequent and uneven extreme events such as drought and flash floods. In the context ofPeloponnese, Greece water resource management is an important issue for tourism developmentas well as the water supply for the people in the peninsula. To assess the potential climatechange and to quantify the water resource availability linear regression trend analysis andhydrological modeling has been done in this study. The hydro-climatic data (Temperature,precipitation, evapotranspiration and precipitation surplus) show a decreasing trend when a longstudy period (1951-2008) is considered; however, all the trends are not statistically significantexcept precipitation, actual evapotranspiration and precipitation surplus. Similarly, the case isquite opposite when IPCC standard period (1961-1990) is considered. In this period,precipitation and precipitation surplus is increasing but not statistically significant, whereastemperature and potential evapotranspiration has decreasing and statistically significant trendand actual evapotranspiration is decreasing but not statistically significant. Hence, it cannot beconcluded that the climate has changed in the peninsula with reference to linear regressionanalysis. On the other hand, it should be noted that the water resource availability will decreasein the peninsula if the current trend in the hydro-climatic data continues. Furthermore, a spatialanalysis shows that water availability is less in the eastern part and the coastal area of thepeninsula due to low precipitation and high evapotranspiration. Hence, these areas need to befocused on for the better water resource management and planning. However, the uncertaintiesrelated to data and model should be accounted for in the water resource management andplanning.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis will contend that Polybius' stress on Achaean unity was related to his need to contrast how tyche and anacyclosis, the two vital supernatural forces that he believed influenced historical events, had influenced the Achaean system of polity detrimentally. Examining the rationale behind Aetolian intervention in the Peloponnese during the Hellenistic period, it will contend that the Aetolians and their allies in Elis and Sparta were engaged in a struggle for control over the Peloponnese against the Macedonians and their Arcadian allies, a situation the Romans exploited. During the Second Macedonian War Polybius presents the Achaean league and Rome acting as equals; this was related to his desire to show the eventual decline in Greece that allowed the Romans to gain control. In reality Flamininus exploited Megalopolitan fears over Aetolian and Spartan interests to ensure the Peloponnese remained stable during the Aetolian/Syrian War. Afterwards Polybius took the question of the Spartan exiles, a relatively unimportant question, and presented its resolution as the decisive turning point in the relationship between Rome and the Achaean league, Callicrates' speech in front of the senate marking the onset of the final stage of anacyclosis in Achaean democracy. This process continued in his portrayal of later events; Polybius was detained by the Romans because of his sympathy for Perseus during the Third Macedonian War; however he blamed Callicrates because at this point he wished to present the corruption and decline that was occurring in the Achaean league. This process ended with the destruction of Corinth in 146BC, where Polybius emphasises the madness and irrationality of the Achaean mob and leadership. This was to provide his readers with the consolation that their society would emerge renewed and strengthened at a time that the Roman Republic began its eventual decline through the resumption of anacyclosis.

Full text
Abstract:
An integrated sedimentological, structural and geochemical study has been used to elucidate the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Pindos Zone in the NW Peloponnese. The study area is interpreted as part of the Apulian passive margin which was bordered to the east by a small Neotethyan basin, the Pindos Ocean. The Pindos Zone is an elongate north-south trending imbricated terrane consisting of deep-water sedimentary rocks (the Pindos Group) that were deposited in the Pindos Ocean. The sedimentary rocks range in age from the Late Triassic to the Eocene. These sediments were deposited on a volcanic substratum that is sparsely preserved as blocks within melange at the base of Pindos thrust sheets. Cursory analysis suggests that the extrusive igneous rocks exhibit geochemical signatures comparable with island arch tholeite (IAT). However, further geochemical study indicates that parental members of the suites represent transitional within plate basalt (WPB) to mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) lava. The recognition of spatial and temporal facies trends within the over lying sedimentary rocks, augmented by laboratory analysis, allows the sedimentary evolution of the passive margin to be documented from rifting to final suturing. Earliest recorded sediments consist of Late Triassic sandstones, derived mainly from a metamorphic source terrane, intercalated with Halobia-bearing limestones. Thereafter, a proximal to distal facies distinction is recognised in the sedimentary sequence. Late Triassic to Liassic facies consist of coarse calcirudites and nodular limestones in the west, while to the east, distal calciturbidite, micrite and chert facies are present. During Aalenian times, sedimentation underwent a fundamental change from calcareous to siliceous deposition, via an argillaceous interval. The Middle and Late Jurassic is dominated by radiolarian-rich, ribbon-bedded, cherts. The passive margin period was interrupted in the Late Jurassic by a short period of localised faulting and volcanic activity.

Abstract:
This study presents an analysis of the zooarchaeological remains from Klissoura Cave 1, a Middle Paleolithic through Mesolithic site in Peloponnese, Greece. Changes in subsistence patterns are evaluated across a long sequence (ca. 80,000-10,000 BP) against a backdrop of environmental change. Results are interpreted using models from evolutionary ecology, specifically prey choice, central place foraging, and patch choice models. Two major trends are apparent in the series. One is a decline in the exploitation of high-ranked ungulate species with an overall increase in lower-ranked small game animals. The second is an increase in low-ranked small, fast-fast moving animals (e.g., hares and partridges) at the expense of higher-ranked small, slow-moving animals (e.g., tortoises). These changes cannot be accounted for by environmental shifts alone, though shifts in ungulate diversity likely track the expansion and contraction of plant communities. The increase in use of low-ranked prey indicates human population growth and demographic pressure in southern Greece during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. In addition to these overarching trends, there are changes in site use during the sequence. In the Middle Paleolithic, foragers used Klissoura Cave 1 more during the winter and overwhelmingly hunted prime-aged adult animals, maternal herds of fallow deer in particular. In the Upper Paleolithic and later periods, the site continued to be used during the winter, in addition to other times of year, but the mortality profiles reflect a natural fallow deer herd structure. There was an intense period of occupation during the Aurignacian period. This is evidenced by numerous clay-lined hearth features, a possible rock-lined structure, and increases in ornaments, as well as abundant lithic and faunal materials. The ungulate faunas are particularly rich during this period, but there is evidence of resource intensification based on increased bone marrow processing and the transport of marrow-rich elements to the site. After this period there was a gradual decline in site use through the end of the Upper Paleolithic and into the Mesolithic, though the exploitation of low-ranked resources (e.g., small, fast-moving game) indicates that populations were on the rise in there region as a whole.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the relationship between the Arkadian city of Megalopolis and the Achaian koinon in the Hellenistic period. By arguing that Megalopolis was a polis which used its own local identity to carve out a prominent position for itself within the Achaian federation, this thesis is able to provide new insights into the study of the wider topic of the relationship between federations and their member states. To support this argument, the thesis is divided into three parts. In part one of the dissertation, the Megalopolitan identity is clearly established by identifying its basic components, which were the result of the city's foundation by the Arkadian koinon around 368 BC as well as its Achaian membership of 235 BC. The Megalopolitan identity was marked by a complex structure; it was characterised by a deep and traditional hatred for Sparta, longstanding relations with the Macedonian kings, a clear understanding of the mechanisms of a federal state and multi-ethnic politics, and, by Polybius' time, a connection to both Arkadia as well as Achaia. The second part examines the influence of this local identity on the koinon through the direct relationship of Megalopolis with the federal government via its Achaian membership. Within the Achaian League, Megalopolis was an active member, taking part in the federal institutions and minting coins. However, through its interactions with other members of the federal state, Megalopolis used its relationship with the federal state to its own advantage. Finally, the last part of the thesis explores the role of Megalopolis and its local interests in Achaian foreign politics. The polis seems to have influenced these through the emergence of a series of influential statesmen (such as Philopoimen and Lykortas) as well as several new policies pursued by the Achaians after Megalopolis' membership. Examples of these new policies are the Achaian alliance with Macedon of 225 BC and the increased focus of the koinon on Sparta in the second century BC, something that also shaped Achaian interactions with Rome. Throughout the thesis particular attention is paid to the narrative of the historian Polybius and the problems his writings pose, since he was an important source for the history of the Achaian koinon and who, as a Megalopolitan, was an excellent example of this distinct Megalopolitan identity. By shedding light on the various ways in which Megalopolis affected the Achaian koinon and its politics, this thesis shows that Megalopolis merits more attention than it has received in the past, as it was more than just an Arkadian city that was a member of the Achaian koinon. Furthermore, the intricate analysis of the distinct Megalopolitan identity makes a novel contribution to the wider study on the interaction between the polis, as a civic unit, and the federal state, as a developing political structure.

Ivrou, Vasiliki. "The maritime cultural landscape in the South Peloponnese, Kythera, West Crete during the late Bronze Age." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5767/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers the perception of maritime space in the SW Aegean area of Greece during the Late Bronze Age, analysing and linking issues of coastline morphology and harbour location and maritime ideology. Drawing heavily on the concept of the maritime cultural landscape, the thesis reviews the state of knowledge about the nature of coastal settlement during the Mycenaean period in the SW Aegean and how the coastline has altered since antiquity due to geomorphological processes. The thesis presents the results of a coastal and offshore (snorkeling) survey carried out along several stretches of coast in Messenia and Laconia in the Peloponnese, the island of Kythera and in West Crete with the aim of assessing the location of possible harbours/anchorages dating to the Late Bronze Age. These results are compared with those available for comparable harbour locations in the Cyclades, Central and East Crete, the Dodecanese, East Aegean and parts of Italy dating to the Late Bronze Age period. The survey included the coastal sites of Pavlopetri and Epidauros Limera in the South Peloponnese and Kastelli, Chania and Phalasarna in West Crete. In the research presented in this thesis, harbours/anchorages of the Late Bronze Age should be considered as located at promising ancient sandy beaches, river outfalls and promontories. As there are no stone built harbour structures the default landing place was the beach. This thesis adopts a maritime perspective, viewing the coastal littoral from the sea. It examines various parameters including natural processes on the coast and hinterland that were, and remain, vital to the connectivity of cultures through the sea during the Late Bronze Age and thereafter. The intention is to contribute to a fuller understanding of seascapes and the maritime cultural landscape as seen through the evidence of potential harbours, and to gain insight into how maritime space may have impacted on the issue of harbour installations in the Late Bronze Age Aegean world.

Full text
Abstract:
Chlemoutsi was the most important castle of the Principality established in the Peloponnese after the Fourth Crusade. The glazed pottery of the Frankish period (early 13th - early 15th c.) is almost exclusively Italian, reflecting the connections of the Principality of Achaea with Italy and illustrating the tastes of the Latin elite in ceramics. The pottery proves that the castle remained important after the end of the Frankish occupation and indicates its decline in the 18th c. The ceramic material of the Post-Byzantine period reflects the incorporation of the castle into the Ottoman Empire, the relations it developed with the rest of Greece, but, also, the continuation of its close connections with the West. Although a Turkish castle for most of the period between 1460 and the early 19th c., its imported pottery is mainly Italian, while the number of Islamic ceramics is small. The close political and economic relations with Italy developed after the Fourth Crusade, the Venetian interests in the Peloponnese, the constant Venetian occupation of the neighbouring Ionian Islands and the direct access to the Ionian Sea and Italy seem to have made the NW Peloponnese one of the most strongly Western-influenced areas of the Greek mainland.

Full text
Abstract:
This work focuses on the sedimentation and geomorphology of the Messenia and Eastern Lakonia Peninsulae (S Peloponnese, Greece) during the Pliocene-Quaternary (last ca. 5 Ma). Shallow-marine and subaerial sediments and landforms are described and interpreted in terms of tectonic and sea level controls. The S Peloponnese underwent regional uplift since the Middle Miocene. Normal faulting, in directions parallel and transverse to the Aegean Arc led to the formation of horsts and grabens on scales varying from <1 to >20 km. Sea level cyclicity resulted in deposition of shallow-marine to subaerial sequences separated by unconformities. Changing climatic conditions since the Middle-Late Miocene influenced subaerial erosion and sedimentation and also the facies/fauna of marine and marginal marine deposits. Pliocene-Quatemary landforms and sediments in the two areas studied reflect the interplay between the above controls. In both the Ntessenia and Eastern Lakonia Pensinsulae Late Tertiary surfaces of subaerial erosion and Quaternary marine sediments and terraces are present at progressively lower altitudes with decreasing age as a result of uplift and forced regression. Maximum numbers of terraces are present in fault-bounded areas of maximum Quaternary uplift, in the NW parts of each peninsula, where uplift rate since the early Pleistocene (last ca. l Ma) was 0.08-0.35 m/ka. Pliocene (only in the Messenia Peninsula) and Quaternary shallow-marine sediments (in both peninsulae) are subdivided into informal units, correlated with 3rd or higher-order sea level cycles. The Pleistocene part of the stratigraphy, present in both peninsulae, is resolved into two 3rd order sequences, of early and middle-late Pleistocene age, respectively. The middle-late Pleistocene sequence is further divided into Eutyrrhenian and Neotyrrhenian units, correlated with higher order late Pleistocene sea level cycles.

Full text
Abstract:
The primary aims of this three year study were to investigate the incubation environment of Caretta caretta embryos, and how this related to clutch survival and hatchling phenotype. Incubation temperature (mean 30.4 °C, n=33 nests) was significantly related to laying date and female choice of nest site.  Nests laid early or late in the season, or further down the beach were more likely to attain temperatures below the pivotal for sex determination.  Overall, a female biased sex ration was estimated. Low temperatures at the start of incubation and deeper nests were associated with higher early embryonic mortality.  Older embryonic death increased due to seawater inundation and shallower nest depth.  Post-hatching mortality increased with higher temperatures in the egg chamber at the end of incubation.  Hatchling body sizes were not significantly influenced by any of the variables considered. Rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in eggs artificially incubated at 27.5, 29.9, and 31.8 °C, increased during the second half of incubation, reaching greater maxima at higher incubation temperatures, then declining towards hatching.  Respirometry quotients indicated temporal changes in substrate utilisation, with a shift from carbohydrate, to protein, and finally fat oxidation. Carbon dioxide concentrations increased then reached asymptote in natural nests.  Analysis of the ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 (determined by mass spectrometry) revealed that the increase in nest CO2 concentration was attributable to embryonic metabolism.  Nest CO2 concentration increased with the number of developing embryos to a maximum of 1.8 %, but did not have a negative effect on hatchling success, suggesting substrate diffusion capacity does not constrain clutch mass.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the competitive advantage strategy into heritage management within tourism and general development on the basis of differentiation. It is suggested that, if heritage is perceived as the competitive advantage in the development process of a region or nation, sustainable conservation can be achieved, as tourism and general development will depend on the existence and maintenance of heritage. Heritage is not treated as an attraction by nature but as the main resource/input on the basis of which a product might be created, called destination. Furthermore, operational management of heritage is integrated into strategic management introduced in this thesis. The differentiation of a destination lies primarily in the uniqueness of heritage itself. However, it is advocated that differentiation can be further developed through the localisation of the process, which means the incorporation within it of cultural and other differences or values. To incorporate these within the strategic management procedure, participatory methods are needed. Consequently, it is suggested that the competitive advantage strategy be applied, based on differentiation through the values and significance assessment system. Lastly, it will be argued that in a long term managerial policy, such as the one proposed in this thesis, achieving sustainable conservation through development has a higher probability of success by shifting responsibilities to the public. The lack of a precedent managed in this way has necessitated the creation of a case-study, a strategic management model for a region in southern Greece, called Mani. This region is rich in cultural heritage but has been largely abandoned by its inhabitants. The different aspects to be taken into consideration and the urgent need to save Mani's heritage have been the reasons for its selection. The result is a strategic management and development plan for Mani and a paradigmatic strategic model for further cases internationally.

Full text
Abstract:
This study presents results from stable isotope analyses of a modern stalagmite and three soda straw stalactites from Kapsia Cave, the Peloponnese, Greece. The resulting values from the stalagmite are put into context of local meteorological data, as well as previous research from Kapsia Cave. The potential for using soda straw stalactites as complementary climate archives on shorter time scales on the Peloponnese is also explored. The isotopic values in the stalagmite confirm a strong link to the amount effect on an annual scale. On a seasonal scale, variations in the isotopic signal can be detectedas a result of i.e. increased cave air temperature in summer. The stable isotope values in the soda straw stalactites largely correspond to previous isotopic measurements in Kapsia Cave. The trend of the isotopic carbon signal in two of the straws also strengthens earlier theories suggesting a link to CO2 concentrations in the external atmosphere. Soda straws are, thus, encouraged for use in future climate studies, although the sampling method should be further explored. The results of this study contribute to an increased understanding of Peloponnesian speleothems in relation to environmental processes and new insights are suggested into the use of soda straw stalactites as climate archives.

Full text
Abstract:
The Panhellenic Sanctuary at Nemea was an important political and religious feature in the landscape of the Northeast Peloponnese in the Hellenistic period (323-146 B.C.). As a small, rural sanctuary in a valley without any evidence of a permanent settlement, Nemea was dependent on the towns and cities in the vicinity for supplies and support. Located on a crossroads between the two most politically and economically important cities in the region—Corinth and Argos—Nemea serves as an ideal site for the study of ceramic distribution in the area. However, one of the most interesting aspects of Nemea is the Kiln Complex located within the sanctuary itself, demonstrating that it was independent in some respects. This study utilises a combination of traditional ceramic study and ceramic petrography to answer questions relating to the identification and provenance of plain, coarse, and cooking wares found within the sanctuary at Nemea. By focusing the ceramic study on assemblages from two types of contexts, both domestic, from a series of houses, and industrial, from the Kiln Complex and other crafting areas, the extent of ceramic production and exchange taking place at Nemea is examined. In order to provenance many of these ceramics, extensive comparative studies were completed on ceramics excavated in Corinth and Lerna. It is contended that such an integrated, analytical approach offers new insights not only into the production of ceramics at Nemea, but also the identification and distribution of ceramics produced in other centres within the Northeast Peloponnese.
