Document Details : Title: The Hinterland of Medieval Chalkida Subtitle: A Preliminary Overview of the 2021 and 2022 Fieldwork Seasons Author(s): VROOM, Joanita , KOSTARELLI, Alexandra , BLACKLER, Andrew , KALANTZIS-PAPADOPOULOS, Dionysis , KOLVERS, Ritchie Journal: Pharos Volume: 25 Date: 2021-2023 Pages: 179-234 DOI: 10.2143/PHA.25.0.3293423 Abstract : This article presents the first results of fieldwork in central Euboea undertaken as part of a five-year research project into the Hinterland of Medieval Chalkida (HMC). The study region is demarcated by the Lelas and Messapion river valleys to the north and east of the city of Chalkida. The key research aims of the project are, amongst others, to gain insight into the long-term changes in habitation, land use, water systems, wetlands, and salt pans, and the environmental evolution, military organisation and socio-economic structure of the region. It also focuses on the region’s wider commercial and industrial links during the Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman periods – from ca. mid-4th to mid-19th centuries CE. |
