Trace historical dynamics of power & resistance in landscape through time: 3. Detect networks that connected micro-regions of argolid to each other and to neighbouring valleys. Orneai (series of walls, acropolis (naturally defensible) Little time to cover areas (debate on how to do survey archaeology) Some archaeologists may not be observant as others.
