Historical Archaeology and Heraldry on Chios presents the results
of research into the island's medieval period, a terra incognita in
the contemporary scholarly record. It is the first to be devoted to
this topic in more than 100 years, following the publication of the
seminal History of Chios by G. Zolotas in the 1920s. The book
discusses the archaeology and history of Chios during the Byzantine
and Genoese periods, focusing on Mount Amani, the region on the
north-western part of the island. Harsh, remote, and poor, Mount
Amani is nevertheless surprisingly rich in material for the
landscape archaeologist and the student of historical topography,
yet unknown in scholarly literature. Different types of
evidence-both tangible and intangible-are used to discuss aspects
of the local history and culture, from the evolution of the
Byzantine settlement pattern, the rural economy, communications by
land and sea and the chain of watchtowers, to the genealogy, the
prosopography and the insignia of the local aristocracy, with many
stone carvings illustrated for the first time.
