Experts will be involved in the identification and study of animal bones, human bones, pottery, and military equipment and ammunition. It is a goal to digitize all floor plans and to record findings in a database so that all data can be cross-referenced and sorted as needed during analysis. This will also help to make the data easily accessible at all levels for other researchers after the completion of the project. |

The study will result in a monograph, divided
into five main chapters. The introductory chapter will include a
section on Pelion's topography, the professional objectives and an
overview of the methods and approaches that were used during the
archaeological and ethnological fieldwork. Subsequent chapters will
include presentations of the archaeological material from the cave
floors, structures in and around the caves and the ethnographic
data. Syntheses of individual assessments will be accompanied by a
representative selection of drawings and photos. The final main
chapter presents a synthesis and interpretation of the overall
results. Cave use will be translated into a cultural framework and
viewed against the socio-economic development at the local and
national level. The monograph will also address a number of
theoretical and methodological issues relevant to studies of modern
cave use. |
