This book brings these traditions together in considering Antikythera, a tiny island perched on the edge of the Aegean and Ionian seas, over the full course of its human history. Small islands are particularly interesting because their human, plant and animal populations often experience abrupt demographic changes, including periods of near-complete abandonment and recolonization, and Antikythera proves to be one of the best-documented examples of these shifts over time. Small islands also play eccentric but revealing roles in wider social, economic and political networks, serving as places for refugees, hunters, modern eco-tourists, political exiles, hermits and pirates. Antikythera is a rare case of an island that has been investigated in its entirety from several systematic fieldwork and disciplinary perspectives, not least of which is an intensive archaeological survey. The authors use the resulting evidence to offer a unique vantage on settlement and land use histories. 517 3 $aMediterranean Islands, Fragile Communities & Persistent Landscapes 606 $aHuman ecology$zIslands of the Mediterranean 606 $aHuman ecology$zGreece$zAntikythe?ra Island 606 $aArchaeology$zIslands of the Mediterranean 606 $aArchaeology$zGreece$zAntikythe?ra Island 607 $aIslands of the Mediterranean$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aAntikythe?ra Island (Greece)$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aIslands of the Mediterranean$xSocial life and customs 607 $aAntikythe?ra Island (Greece)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aArchaeology 615 0$aArchaeology 676 $a304.209182/2 700 $aBevan$b Andrew$f1974-$0777032 702 $aConolly$b James$f1968- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824057003321 996 $aMediterranean Islands, fragile communities and persistent landscapes$94073959 997 $aUNINA
