Tracking Re-cycling: Archaeological and Anthropological Survey in the Habitat of Xanthi Region-Thrace (TRAASH)
In the last decades we have a continuous encouragement to Τhink Green
and to recycle, upcycle, reuse, reduce waste and repurpose a
variety of objects, which could be called a ‘secondary use’ of materials. The Research Programme TRAASH is based on the view that this
secondary use, their disposal and taking them out of circulation emphasizes the biography of the objects and their makers. The region of
Xanthi as a case study allows the diachronic analysis, from Prehistory until modern times, of how all these practices were and are used
by various cultural groups, such as the Greeks colonists and the indigenous Thracians in Antiquity or, later, the modern rural
communities. However, all these practices are not restricted to material culture but they are applicable to landscapes and concepts,
while they have a deeper impact in human societies and cultures, both modern and ancient. The changing patterns of landscape
(natural and human-induced) exploitation and of the locally available natural resources can provide a footprint of how distinct
cultural groups acted through time. The diachronic analysis of all these parameters (material culture, landscape, natural resources) in
the area of Xanthi will allow the understanding of broader social and cultural interchanges within an often neglected geographical area.
It will also highlight the ways which people diachronically used in order to extend (or reduce) the lifetime of objects, landscapes and
ideas, which were bearers of various meanings and reflect the mentality, the individual and group identity, memory, and cult. Within the
framework of the current research programme experienced specialists and young researchers will actively participate in order to collect
archaeological, historical, ethnoarchaeological and other types of data that will formulate a paradigm of environmental and material
sustainability for immediate or future application in modern societies.
