The two main aims are to 1.) reconstruct how agriculture and animal husbandry were organized during the initial phase of the Greek migrations, and determine from what pre-existing, agricultural basis early settlers operated (homeland, indigenous milieu and/or other sources); 2.) analyze how subsistence strategies and surplus production evolved over time, and how these choices and strategies determined the further development of colonial settlements.
