Biocultural Aspects of Physiological Stress During Classical Antiquity in Thebes, Central Mainland Greece
During the first millennium B.C.E., mainland Greece experienced notable economic and demographic growth, though this trajectory shifted from 300 B.C.E. onward, when Macedonian dominance and the rise of larger political entities concentrated wealth in the hands of elites. Within this broader context, cycles of prosperity, destruction, and recovery in Thebes closely mirror wider historical, social, and economic transformations. This study investiga…
Investigating animal exploitation in Late Byzantine Greece: A zooarchaeological study from Ismenion, Thebes
An organized system of mutton production might have functioned during this time. • Meat was processed in a standardized way at the household level. • Habits of Western ethnic groups did not affect local animal husbandry and diet. • Fishing predominantly took place in near-shore marine environments and consisted of local species. This study investigates animal husbandry, fishing techniques, diet and their socio-economic implications within the cha…
A Biodistance Study of Mobility, Biological Kinship, and Lifestyle in Central Mainland Greece During Classical and Hellenistic Times
During Classical and Hellenistic times, mainland Greece witnessed profound historical and sociopolitical changes, including warfare, urbanization, and extensive exchange networks that shaped the broader Graeco‐Roman world. Boeotia played an active role in these developments, with Thebes emerging as a major regional power until its destruction by Alexander the Great in 335 bce . Following this event, its population was displaced to adjacent cities…

L’autel des Muses au sanctuaire de l’Hélicon sur le territoire de Thespies
Au iiie s. av. J.‐C., la cité de Thespies réaménage le sanctuaire des Muses sur les pentes de l’Hélicon et fait notamment construire, sur une vaste terrasse en contrebas du théâtre et d’un imposant portique ionique, un autel monumental flanqué d’une statue. Taillé dans le calcaire local, l’édifice, proche par son type et ses dimensions d’autels contemporains, se compose d’un soubassement à deux degrés ornés de feuillures et d’une table d’autel su…

Chapter One: Ancient Eleon in Boeotia: An Overview of the Greek–Canadian Excavations
The first phase of Greek–Canadian excavations at the site of ancient Eleon in eastern Boeotia was conducted from 2011 to 2015. Fieldwork on the elevated plateau located between Thebes and the Euboean Gulf provided new evidence for occupation of Bronze Age and historical periods. Tombs of the early Mycenaean period have been found within and around a funerary structure known as the Blue Stone Structure. By the later Mycenaean period, settlement de…
Fieldwork at Ancient Eleon in Boeotia, 2011-2018
This article presents the results of the first excavations at the site of ancient Eleon in eastern Boeotia, Greece. Fieldwork focused on the elevated limestone ridge on the western edge of the village of Arma about 14 km east of Thebes. The chronological framework of the excavated remains includes pottery dating from Early Helladic II through early Middle Helladic found in secondary contexts and not associated with any architectural remains. Fune…
La base des Muses au sanctuaire de l’Hélicon
Cet article propose la première publication complète d’un monument consacré par les Thespiens aux Muses dans leur sanctuaire au pied de l’Hélicon, dont les éléments constitutifs sont connus depuis le xixe s., et notamment depuis les fouilles de P. Jamot au Val des Muses. Les statues en bronze de petite taille des neuf Muses se dressaient sur une base en arc de cercle d’une ampleur de ca 10 m, placée dans un écrin architectural largement ouvert su…
Archaeological geophysics of a Bronze Age agricultural landscape: The Aroura Project, central mainland Greece
Between 2010 and 2012, the AROURA project conducted magnetometric prospection in the ancient polder around the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1300–1190 b.c.) fortress of Glas, mainland Greece. As had been hypothesized, the anomalies detected were consistent with a system of agricultural fields. This system appears to have been irrigated and drained through previously identified hydraulic mechanisms in and around the polder. Comparison of soil profiles of a…
