Nowadays, the landscape of the region, as defined by hills, valleys and the coastline at the SE of Attica, includes a variety of land uses, such as settlements (with prevailing traditional or contemporary styles), isolated properties (legal or illegal, inland or by the coast), agricultural lands (mainly vineyards and olive groves), uninhabited areas, roads, pathways and other transport routes, industrial units, tourist complexes, geological formations, archaeological and historical sites and landmarks, protected forest and shrub areas. However, the connecting element between them all has always been the large multi-metallic ore deposits found underground - their exploitation has shaped the landscape diachronically in a multitude of ways. This paper aims to explo...

Harland 1928. participants were, aside from Harland, his wife, Agnes Westerlund Harland, Dorothy cox (American School of classical Studies, architect), Vassilis Yiannikos (vase mender), Dimitris Zoes, mr. petritsis (the official photographer in the National Archaeological museum in Athens), George Kachros, and Nikos Neroutso (cook). Other men from the village were hired as excavators, but unfortunately there is no list with their names.

The ore geology of Lavrion is briefly summarized. Evidence is presented that geologists, mineralogists and mining engineers with expert knowledge of the Lavrion region have described the presence of copper ores and recorded the smelting and production of significant amounts of copper metal from these ores in the 19 th . Century AD. Both chalcopyrite and very easily smelted, by non-slagging processes, rich oxidized ores such as azurite and malachite were present in considerable amounts, especially in Lavrion. We present analyses which show that the oxidized ores often contain arsenic at the per cent level, and are potential sources for the accidental production of arsenical copper. Evidence is presented confirming that Lavrion copper ores were used in the Final Neolithic site of Kephala on Keos and that Lavrion copper ores were smelted in the Early Bronze Age furnaces at the site of Raphina in Attica. Data is given for the existence of some Bronze Age copper ingots, from both land based sites and from the Uluburun and Cape Gelidonya shipwrecks, which were made from Lavrion copper, and which attest to the movement of copper from Lavrion about the Aegean in the Bronze Age.

The fifteen papers offer insight and commentary on various facets of the archaeological profession and scientific branch, in Greece, during the actual period of crisis. Papers concern topics as: the relation to Archaeology to Environmental Education; secondary high school Education; the Archaeology of Magna Graecia; the teaching of History, National Consciousness and the Crisis; the functioning of the Archaeological Service; the "Labyrinth" of the archaeological profession; archaeological Research and the prerequisites for the Archaeologist as Public Officer; the Registry of Archaeologists; study and publication of finds from old excavations by young(er) Archaeologists; the destructive aspect of the Excavation Procedure; the principles of "Integrated Conservation" and "Sustainability" of Cultural Wealth; Cultural Heritage Management; Cultural Guiding and Archaeology. The aim of this volume is to stimulate discussion concerning various aspects of the archaeological profession
