The target of this book is dual: first, it presents the findings of the archaeological excavations, during these two decades, as well as the results obtained from the relevant studies (architecture, pottery, small finds); secondly, it attempts to demonstrate the diachronic role of the Bronze Age settlement at Dimini, not only in the adjacent geographical area, especially in relation to the other two, well-known contemporary sites in the Pagasetic Gulf (Kastro Volou/Palia and Pefkakia), but also in the wider area of Bronze Age Thessaly, in an attempt to highlight inter-settlement economic and sociopolitical relations.

Within archaeological studies, land tenure has been mainly studied from the viewpoint of ownership. A host of studies has argued about land ownership on the basis of the simple co-existence of artefacts on the landscape; other studies have tended to extrapolate land ownership from more indirect means.

The fact that Aegean type pottery is found in Italy is of great importance when we consider the cultural contacts between the Apennine peninsula and the southern Balkans in the late Bronze Age. Ever since the 19th Century its interpretation has been subject of great controversy, the colonisation with the permanent presence of Aegean groups or commercial settlements have been taken into consideration as well as the modes of exchange and the significance of imports.
