- Title
THE ANCIENT TOWERS OF THE PAXIMADI PENINSULA, SOUTHERN EUBOIA.
- Authors
Seifried, Rebecca M.; Parkinson, William A.
- Abstract
This article discusses the organization and distribution of ancient towers on the Paximadi peninsula of southern Euboia, most o f which date to the Classical period. Much attention has been given to the sporadic occurrence and possible uses of stone-built towers in different regions and time periods in Greece. Rather than identifying a single function for the Paximadi towers, the authors suggest that they fulfilled a variety of roles over time. Thus, changes in their form and distribution can be used to model how the rural landscape was exploited under different political and economic regimes.
