Geoarchaeological research in the Black Sea and the Azov Sea
Recherches géoarchéaologiques en Mer Noire et en Mer d’Azov
Published on mercredi, octobre 29, 2014
Summary
Since the first studies undertaken in 1783 by Gablitz on the chora of Chersonesos, the Black Sea comprises an important area to look at the rural and coastal development of the Greek colonial world. Systematic surveying of ditches and walls that line the western coast of Crimea, initiated within the framework of Catherine II’s Greek project, began several decades before the earliest excavations of the urban spaces in 1832. A decisive new step was made during the 1960s, when archaeological surveys provided fresh insights into the internal organization of several kleroi close to Chersonesos, Kerkinitis and Kalos Limen. Around the same time, in the western Black Sea, the first research on the territory of Istros began, complemented by numerous geomorphological studies of the neighbouring Danube Delta. The foundations of geoarchaeological inquiry had been laid, and these have since been added to thanks to recent research undertaken throughout the Pontic area.

The aim of this issue, to be published in 2016, is to furnish a state-of-the-art of recent research on the Black Sea and Azov Sea by presenting data obtained within the context of current projects in the field of geoarchaeology and physical geography, applied to protohistory or the historical periods, through the lens of Greek colonization of the region. The papers should follow the publication guidelines of Méditerranée (http://mediterranee.revues.org/), with a particular emphasis on geographical approaches. Two reviewers will read each article.
This issue of Méditerranée will be jointly edited by A. Baralis (Musée du Louvre), V. Kuznetsov (Moscow Institute of Archaeology), N. Marriner (CNRS), C. Morhange (Université d’Aix-Marseille), A. Porotov (University Lomonossov of Moscow) and V. Zinko (Demetra Foundation, Kerch).
Deadline for the receipt of papers: 1st April 2015Contact: Christophe Morhange (morhange@cerege.fr)

The submitted articles are anonymously transmitted to two well-known thematically and geographically experienced reviewers. They proceed to a deep exam of the text and report their ratings and annotations to the review managers. This report is then anonymously returned to the author for correction. The corrected text is submitted for the second time to the reviewers. The author is eventually invited to proceed to the last corrections.

- if the scientific level of the text is considered inadequate,
- if the corrections are not applied,
- if the presentation standards are not respected.
Every rejection will be justified.
For every published article, the author will get a copy of the corresponding Méditerranée volume and several offprints
