Seller's Description:
New. Excellent New Book. The Topography and Population of Ancient Boiotia is a product of nearly 25 years of field work in Central Greece by the author. Throughout the book the archeological evidence is combined with the literary and epigraphic testimonia and with the indications of modern toponyms to present a full picture of what has been obtained by this extensive survey. Recurrent seasons of extensive survey permitted Professor Fossey to discover or re-examine all the major settlement sites of the area, as well as many minor ones, and to establish a fairly complete picture of their history of occupation. It is this material, the basic data for the whole study, which constitutes the second, and largest, section of the book, following immediately after an introductory presentation of the physical geography of Boiotia. In the main section of data presentation the whole region is divided into geographic units which correspond essentially to the territories of the historical federation's constituent cities. 552pp. + maps.
