Therasia IV

Synopsis
The collective work presented in this book is the result of long-term, multidisciplinary research on Thirasia, carried out within the framework of the research project “Diachronic Island Cultures: The Case of Thirasia.” It is the fourth volume in the series, a fact that reflects the rich and diverse body of work that has been accomplished.

The ten articles in this volume, together with the abundant visual material that accompanies them—produced through primary on-site documentation—cover aspects of traditional life and its imprints on the human-made environment, from the scale of settlement ensembles and rural architecture (terraces, dry-stone walls, water management), to the typology, building technology, and pathology of the cave structures.
