The action addressed the objectives it had set by employing a number of techniques and methods. Their synthesis along with the multidisciplinary approach allowed better results.
Thus, we acquired numerous drone images of the microtopography of the areas under study, which allowed the understanding of landscape in the past and its diachronic evolution. The collection of satellite remote sensing and air-photography clarified the boundaries of areas, whilst in the case of Abdera it revealed the Classical period road system north of the polis. The multi-scale survey and their datasets were incorporated into the GIS system and allowed a thorough analysis of evidence and their dispersal in space. Archaeomorphological data provided a diachronic comprehension of changes around the city of Abdera. Furthermore, more recently acquired evidence will provide a focus on the formation of the port and the role natural and anthropogenic processes affected it in the past. The multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental analyses are in progress and will provide more datasets in the near future.
All of these provide good quality data that are employed to understand the research questions that have been set in this action. Their dissemination and exploitation has been made by using the data in papers in international conferences and articles that have been already published. Parts of the palaeonevironmental analyses have been presented in EAA 2022 at Budapest and 7th LAC 2022 at Iasi (Romania), while an article will be submitted in an international journal. The survey, GIS, drone, and remote sensing aspect have been presented in an IMS at Groningen (2019), EAA 2020 at Budapest (co-organised a session), 6th LAC 2021 (co-organised a session) and IMS at Montpellier (2021). The results have been published in the form of an article at AEMTh and at the Archaeological and Anthropological Science journals and one more will appear in AEMTh in one year. For the relations between different cultural groups an article has been published at a Conference (Aegis Series) and one more on landscape and the relationship between rivers and economy (Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology). The analysis of antefixes and survey methodologies are two more articles in press as an edited book at Documenta, the series that ICAC publishes, following a workshop held at Athens (July 2022) and two papers presented there. A synthesis of technologies and methods employed in this action has been presented in a paper at a conference held in Athens on Computational Methodologies in Thrace (September 2022). Finally, a workshop as part of the Marie Sklodowska Curie grant that I have received will take place November 24th 2022 at Tarragona, which I am organising. The theme is landscape, display and economy, whose results will be published and I will be the editor of the volume. Overall, for the dissemination there have been nine oral presentations in conferences, four published articles, three more are in press and two further are in preparation, covering various themes of this action.
