The Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey: integrated methods for a dynamic landscape.
ABSTRACT
From 1997 to 2003, the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey (EKAS) investigated a 350-[km.sup.2] region east of the ancient city of Corinth, focusing primarily on the northern Corinthian plain. EKAS developed an interdisciplinary methodology that emphasizes novel applications of geological science, computer-based knowledge systems, and strategies ...

RESEARCH COMPONENTS Numerous research components were included under the EKAS umbrella (Table 2). They are described briefly here as an introduction to the detailed treatments of methods and results below. EKAS created a precise terminology to define specific methodological concepts, giving rise to

THE ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The eastern Corinthia is environmentally diverse, and thus may be partitioned in a variety of ways for analysis. One approach is to suggest that three notional geographic zones make up the EKAS survey area: the northern Corinthian plain, a lowland corridor that links

EXPERIMENTS TO EVALUATE AND CALIBRATE RESULTS All regional-scale surface surveys would benefit by having an experimental component operating in tandem with the main archaeological reconnaissance. EKAS conducted a series of experiments in 1999 and 2001 with two specific aims: (1) to measure the

RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY AND INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES A persistent concern in regional archaeology is the continuing inability of survey data to support increasingly sophisticated social questions. Because archaeological survey permits in Greece typically do not allow regional data sets to be

METHODS OF PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION The main archaeological activity of EKAS was to systematically investigate a sample of landscapes within the survey universe. As noted above, the survey operated in three modes: intensive discovery mode, extensive discovery mode, and site investigation mode.

CONCLUSIONS Dense human occupation of the eastern Corinthia for more than 8,000 years, combined with an active tectonic, sedimentary, and erosional landscape, presents serious challenges to eliciting meaningful data from the surface record. The density of material across the landscape is variable,
