Ancient farming and farmsteads: sources, problems, and debates -- The archaeology of farmsteads and their agricultural role -- The connected countryside: agricultural networks in the northeastern Peloponnese -- Farming and the ancient agricultural economy -- The ancient Greek farmstead. Introduction --

Despite the difficult nature of scholarship surrounding farmsteads, this site type is repeatedly used to describe small sites in the countryside which have varying evidence of domestic, storage, and agricultural activity. The aim of this book is to engage with the archaeological and textual data for farmsteads dating to the Classical-Hellenistic period of mainland Greece, with the purpose of understanding how these sites fulfilled agricultural roles as centres for occupation, storage, and processing for those working the land.
