Item In the Valley of Anthemous … (Northern Greece)(Faculty of Archaeology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, 2021-12) Andreou, Stelios; Pappa, Maria; Czebreszuk, Janusz; Vouvalidis, Konstantinos; Syrides, George; Doani, Sofia; Hildebrandt-Radke, Iwona; Niebieszczański, JakubThe Anthemous Valley Archaeological Project is a cooperation between Greek and Polish scientists aiming towards archaeological recognition of the northern Aegean within the alluvial Anthemous Valley. The methodology of the project consists of the multidisciplinary tools of settlement archaeology and geoarchaeology. The timeframe spans the prehistoric periods from the Neolithic to the Early Iron Age. One of the main research tasks is to reconstruct the evolution of the landscape in close reference to the cultural changes in the region. To date, all sites within the valley have been catalogued and identified through archaeological prospection and some with the use of geophysical survey. The results point to an intensive occupation in the past, especially during the Bronze Age. Geoarchaeological research was conducted in the tell of Nea Raedestos, which has shown major landscape transformations in the Holocene due to river activity. The current work focuses on the mouth of the Anthemous River to reconstruct the progradation processes and formation of the deltaic plain in relation to prehistoric human occupation of this area.
