Description
Summary:   This paper presents the preliminary results of the Archaeological Project at Abdera and Xanthi (APAX), a systematic regional survey applying intensive pedestrian sample collection conducted in Greek Thrace. This new archaeological programme has investigated different landscape settings in the Xanthi area. Different collection strategies were developed to adapt to the conditions of visibility presented by the areas under study. The preliminary results of this research have provided quantitative and qualitative spatial data on the distribution of ancient activities, particularly for the Archaic and Classical. Moreover, they allowed a useful assessment of two cultural groups that were active in the same region during most of the 1st millennium BC, namely Greek colonists and indigenous Thracians.
