Introduction to the Volume

Abstract

Given the ‘CROSSROADS’ research agenda, there could be multiple ways to organise the contributions in this volume. A temporal and geographic principle, rather than thematic, was chosen, in order to best showcase related work (for example, the multiple lines of research undertaken in the Megalopolis Basin). The book is organised in three sections: section one collects six contributions from earlier periods, from the late Miocene to the early Pleistocene, represented in Northern Greece; section two is by far the largest one, presenting seventeen contributions on the Middle Pleistocene Megalopolis Basin; and section three focuses on the late Middle and Late Pleistocene, with four contributions from Greece and beyond.
