Detailed spatial exploration and analysis have been successfully applied by archaeologists in parts of north-west Europe, providing a great deal of information about the nature of socio-economic interaction within and between given regions, information which can also be used to infer socio-political relationships. The analysis of spatial relations has rarely been used by classical archaeologists as a method of understanding intercommunity contacts of a socio-economic or political kind, despite the successful application of such methods by geographers. Yet such methods are particularly appropriate in the study of ethnos-dominated regions. This chapter explores how we might begin to examine the interplay of spatial with other factors in Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace.
Keywords: Thessaly, Macedonia, Thrace, spatial relations, socio-economic interaction
