Overtourism & rapid building development already threaten #cultural #heritage sites & landscapes on Paros. We encourage this approach to be applied more widely for efficient documentation of these areas before too late, sharing data w/ Ministry colleagues to inform site preservation & protection.

❗️Our recent work around the #ancient tower at Palaiopyrgos (Paros) is published in JAS Reports 🎉 🏺

We used multi-method #survey & #geophysical prospection to better understand landscapes of #agriculture and production in the rural #Cyclades.

In advance of any length is gold standard, in my opinion! Just as often, they arrive after print it seems.
