Abstract

Archaeological practice in Ionia has a long history that mainly focused on the urban
centres and monuments. Within the last three decades, owed to the archaeological
surveys conducted at rural landscapes we have a better understanding of rural lives
and landscapes of Ionia. KLASP is a survey project dedicated to exploring the khorai
around Klazomenai, Teos, Erythrai and Lebedos diachronically. The lecture will
present the results of the KLASP project and a holistic assessment of evidence from
rural territories in Ionia.

The lec­ture takes place on Wednes­day, Jan­u­ary 18, 2023, at 19.00 (Athens) in a hy­brid for­mat with live pres­ence at the Swedish In­sti­tute at Athens, Mit­seon 9, and on­line via Zoom.
