This thesis is contains descriptions and definitions of the 2nd millennium BC tholos tomb architecture in Mainland Greece. The study area is divided into eight regions: Peloponnessos, Central Greece, Epirus, Attica, Euboea, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace. The time period of earliest tomb dated between 2000-1675 BC and the latest between 1320-1160 BC. Attention has been put on issues of typological characteristics, construction technique and stone materials of the tholos tombs.

Samples from nearly 800 Bronze Age pottery sherds from Euboea, Eastern Boeotia and Eastern Thessaly were analysed together with 9 raw clays from the same areas. The-analysis was carried out in an attempt to identify areas of pottery manufacture, to discover the origin of specific groups of pottery, to relate pottery to, raw clays and to see how far pottery compositions can be associated with, and predicted by, geology. The work was done on the same lines as earlier studies at the Oxford Laboratory and at the British School at Athens. The main analytical technique used was therefore optical emission spectroscopy. Some 25% of the total number of sherds were also analysed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry so that the results obtained by the two techniques could be compared. The interpretation of the results was facilitated by the use of, computer program packages for cluster and discriminant analysis. Both optical emission and atomic absorption analysis resulted in broadly similar groupings although the absolute concentrations were not directly comparable. The groupings obtained after atomic absorption analysis had the narrower concentration ranges. Nine elements were measured by both techniques but in atomic absorption potassium was added and proved; useful as an additional discriminant. Six composition groups were distinguished from the data. One of them was identified as Euboean, 2 as Boeotian and 3 as coming from different regions of Thessaly. The greatest movement of pottery within these areas was from Euboea to Thessaly. No composition group which originated from outside these regions was identified. Six of the 9 raw clays were associated with the prevailing composition group in the area from which they came. It was not possible to predict trends in pottery composition by examination of the local geology.

Η παρούσα εργασία πραγματεύεται την τεκτονική ανάλυση δύο μεγασκοπικών επωθήσεων στην περιοχή της νότιας Εύβοιας. Αναλύονται τα εξελικτικά στάδια της παραμόρφωσης στην περιοχή μελέτης, τα μέσα που χρησιμοποιούνται για την κατανόηση των παραμορφωτικών φάσεων είναι εικόνες καθώς επίσης και μετρήσεις με γεωλογική πυξίδα οι οποίες προβλήθηκαν σε στερεογραφικά δίκτυα για εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων. Τονίζεται ότι τα παραπάνω παρουσιάζουν ορθή ερμηνεία πάντα σε συσχέτιση με υπαίθριες παρατηρήσεις. / The present work deals with the tectonic analysis of two megascopic structures in the region of southern Evia. Are analyzed the evolutionary stages of deformity in the region of study,the means that are used for the comprehension of the deforming phases are pictures as well as measurements with geological compass.

Το Αλιβέρι είναι μια κωμόπολη της Εύβοιας. Βρίσκεται λίγα χιλιόμετρα νοτιοανατολικά της Χαλκίδας και βρέχεται από τα νερά του Ευβοϊκού Kόλπου. Είναι μια περιοχή περιβαλλοντικού ενδιαφέροντος εφόσον λειτουργούν στην παράκτια περιοχή θερμικός σταθμός ηλεκτροπαραγωγής της Δ.Ε.Η. και μια τσιμεντοβιομηχανία (Α.Γ.Ε.Τ.), από τις οποίες είτε αποτίθεται τέφρα κοντά στη θάλασσα είτε διαφεύγουν αέριοι ρύποι από τις καμινάδες. Στόχος της εργασίας είναι να γίνει ψηφιοποίηση τοπογραφικών και γεωγραφικών χαρτών κλίμακας 1:50.000 και να αποτυπωθούν δεδομένα από μετρήσεις που έγιναν σε δείγματα που έχουν ήδη ληφθεί από το θαλάσσιο περιβάλλον. Οι μετρήσεις αυτές αφορούν ρύπανση από μέταλλα. / Aliveri is a town on the island of Evoia, located a few kilometers southwest of Chalkida and watered by Evoian Gulf. It is an area of high environmental importance because of the operation at its coastal area of a thermal power plant operated by the Public Power Corporation (PPC) S.A and the cement manufacturing industry (AGET), from which either ash is stockpiled near the sea coast, or air pollutants are emitted from the chimneys. The aim of the study is to digitize the topographic maps (scale 1:50.000) and to depict data from measurements carried out on samples already taken from the marine environment. These measurements are related to metal pollution. The results include a database where we can build further studies and tracking trends in terms of the outfall and the dispersion of pollutants in the marine environment and attempts to determine the source of the metal pollution through geographical maps.

В настоящей работе анализируется политическое устройство и социально-экономическая ситуация в венецианской колонии Негропонт в конце XIV–XV в. Автор приходит к выводу, что власти Республики св. Марка пытались поддерживать социальную и политическую стабильность в Негропонте, лавируя между различными этнорелигиозными группами колонии. Негропонт, его сельское и лесное хозяйство играли важную роль в обеспечении бесперебойного функционирования венецианской колониальной системы в конце XIV–XV в. / This paper analyses the political structure and socio-economic situation in the Venetian colony of Negropont in the late XIV‒XV centuries. The author concludes that the Venetian authorities tried to maintain social and political stability in Negropont, manoeuvring between different ethno-religious groups of this colony. Negropont and its agriculture and forestry played an important role in the sustained functioning of the Venetian colonial system in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
