Summary:

"This volume presents an interdisciplinary discourse on recent archaeological investigations at the ancient sites of Sikyon, Aigeira and Lousoi. These three Northern Peloponnesian poleis represent microregions which from the Geometric and Archaic periods onward participated in similar networks of exchange, albeit with different roles. In light of their geographical location on the southern coast of the Corinthian Gulf and in the mountainous hinterland, respectively, they offer insight into three microcosms with very different environmental conditions, socio-political structures and economic potential. As the new studies demonstrate, the microregions and their main settlements were linked throughout antiquity by strong cultural, economic and at times also political ties, despite all their differences. The new primary sources revealed by the various contributions help to characterise each place within its unique local context from the Geometric up to the Roman period. The broad spectrum of topics discussed include the spatial configuration of settlements, the various factors of urban growth and decline, changes in consumption and production patterns as well as religious practices, and the shaping of group identities on different cultural levels"--Provided by publisher.
