The Ancient City and Nature's Economy in Magna Graecia and Sicily

Panel 2.1

Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World: Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology, Cologne/Bonn 2018

The panel offered archaeological landscape studies and paleoenvironmental reconstructions, thus shedding light on human-environment interactions. Archaeological research combined with Earth Sciences made different patterns of these interactions visible at several sites in Magna Graecia and Sicily.
Approaches combined archaeological methods with Geoarchaeology, Palynology, Zooarchaeology, and Climate History. The case studies covered a long period, reaching back to the early phases of Greek settlement on Sicily. Moreover, shifts in settlement dynamics between Roman and Greek times were observed and hypotheses created by taking a paleoenvironmental perspective. At the same time, economic and social implications and their effects on the data were considered. Examples originated from survey archaeology as well as from samples gained during excavations.

Johannes Bergemann was Professor of Classical Archeology at Ruhr University in Bochum since 2000 and at Georg August University in Göttingen since 2009. He is a specialist in Greek and Roman sculpture, urbanism and Landscape Archaeology and has directed and published survey projects in Gela, in the hinterland of Argigento and in Camarina (Sicily) as well as excavations in Thorikos (Greece) and Camarina (Sicily).

Mario Rempe is a PhD researcher at the University of Göttingen. His focus is on landscape archaeology, paleoenvironmental research and ancient economies.
