Where: Sphakia is a deme (formerly eparchy), a modern administrative district, in SW Crete (Greece) with an area of 472 km. sq. It includes most of the White Mountains, and a dozen gorges, running S to the Libyan Sea -- the best known is the Samaria Gorge -- and very little arable land.
Why: The main objective of the Sphakia Survey is to investigate human interaction with the landscape. When: We have looked at evidence for human activity from the time that people first arrived in Sphakia at the end of the Stone Age (by ca 3000 B.C.) to the end of the Turkish period in Crete (A.D. 1898-1900). We divided this long period into three epochs: Prehistoric (3500 - 1050 B.C.); Graeco-Roman (1050 B.C. - A.D. 700); Byzantine-Venetian-Turkish (A.D. 700 - 1900). The work of the Survey was done in several stages: reconnaissance in Sphakia: 1986 field seasons in Sphakia: 1987-90, 92 08.042 study seasons in the Khania Museum: 1989, 1993-8 finds photography: 1999.
