This landmark study, representing both the first field survey of a Greek agricultural territory in southern Italy (Magna Graecia) and the first true integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in a survey publication, is the first of two volumes presenting the results of the ICA/University of Texas field survey of the Metapontino. Volume I describes the regional topography, geology, and geomorphology as the setting for 600 sites, ranging from the prehistoric through early modern periods, between the Bradano and Basento Rivers. With the aid of statistical and spatial analyses and GIS, the colonial Greek settlement and land-use patterns are modeled and interpreted in the light of the regional geomorphology and hydrography, the socioeconomic conditions prevailing in the various historical periods, and other relevant influences. Specialist studies, lavishly illustrated with drawings and photographs, describe the chronologies and typologies of the major classes of artifacts collected: prehistoric pottery and lithics, Greek black-gloss pottery, Greek table and storage/processing wares, Greek terracottas, Greek and Roman cooking wares, Greek and Roman transport amphorae, Roman grey ware, Imperial Roman fine and coarse wares, and post-Roman ceramics.
