Description
Topographic anomalies identified in 1950's aerial photography along the Ionian Coast of southern Italy suggest systematic separation of space surrounding the ancient Greek settlement of Metaponto. Are these proof of property delineation in the countryside, systems of travel, or entirely natural? Using least cost path, we connect ancient farmsteads with local sanctuaries, revealing overlap with the anomalous "division lines," suggesting that they functioned (at least in part) as communication throughout the countryside.
