Wagstaffs interpretation of the evolution of settlement patterns in southern Greece in terms of catastrophe theory is in general welcomed as an instructive contribution enabling further assessment of the theory when applied within a specific historical context. But some methodological and technical reservations are expressed about Wagstaffs argument which lead to the view that while his interpretation is a possible one it has not convincingly been demonstrated to be a probable one.
