Abstract

The last three decades have produced a wide range of methodological developments in the study of landscapes. The landscape during the Neolithic has been influenced by the interactions of water and human land use. This paper aims to present an overview of the research about the Neolithic off-site land use in Greece, based on old and new data and techniques. Our focus is on the well-known Neolithic record of Thessaly and Macedonia and also the Peloponnese and Attica with decidedly lowest density of Neolithic sites and elsewhere. Land use changes and landscape processes are influenced by multiple bio-physical and socioeconomic factors in a multi-scale system. This paper will answer questions such as: What sorts of activities can be identified? What about the off-site land use intensity? Land use changes should be analysed in isolation or with accounting for both on-site and off-site effects on landscape processes.
