This paper utilizes the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of bulk animal bone collagen to better understand animal management practices in Archaic and Classical period Argilos in northern Greece. The results from Argilos are compared with data from other sites in northern Greece to provide new insights into herd management in the region over time. Our results reveal some changes in cattle and pig diets at Argilos between the Archaic and Classical periods. Throughout both periods cattle and caprines exhibit evidence of having consumed C4 vegetation, likely obtained from the nearby salt marshes in the Strymon river delta. This dietary regime is similar to that observed at other north Aegean sites dating back to the Neolithic, suggesting that the long tradition of animal herding in the marshes was an environmentally specific practice in the region.

For the last twenty years, a team of Greek and Canadian archaeologists have been excavating Argilos, the earliest known Greek colony in the area of the mouth of the Strymon river. An overview of research on what was one of the four colonies founded by Andrians after the abandonment of Zagora allows discussion of questions related to the origin of the settlers, the choice of location, the foundation date, and the reasons for the settlement. First occupied by Thracians, Argilos was settled by Greeks no later than the mid-7th cent. B. C. Some of these Greeks came from Andros ; however, one should not eliminate the possibility that Argilos may have been a joint venture between Andrians and Chalcidians. Cohabitation between Greeks and Thracians lasted until the mid-6th cent., when it is believed a wave of immigrants arrived, some of whom were from east Greece. Argilos remained affluent until the foundation of Amphipolis in 437, after which it suffered decline. Its capture by Philip II in 357 and the deportation of its inhabitants to Amphipolis put an end to its existence.

Fourteen papers explore a range of issues relating to prehistoric extraction sites, including ethnography, geochemical signatures, the application of neutron activation analysis, exploitation of erratics, excavation, survey and conservation. Topics include quernstone extraction, use of hammers, stages of extraction, geographical and social contexts, changing social regimes, the ritualised nature of journeys to quarry sites, study of petrofabrics, and the effects of joint and cleavage on quarrying practice. Two contributions are in French with extended summaries in English.

This article deals with the Greek colonization of ancient Argilos which took place towards the middle of the 7th century B.C., and addresses the question of cohabitation between the Greek colonists and the native Thracian population. A study of the archaeological remains, the literary sources and the development of Greek penetration in the lower region of the Strymon river tends to show that Greeks and Thracians did live together in Argilos, but also in several other sites of this region.
