Dr Giannis Apostolou
My research combines multi-disciplinary approaches in landscape archaeology integrating computational, analytical and groundtruthing strategies for the long-term understanding of human history. This means I work a lot with 3D photogrammetric reconstructions and multi-source modelling of past landscapes, GIS-based survey and advanced geospatial analyses–particularly for the detection and evaluation of archaeological sites, land-use systems and environmental change. I direct the Langadas Archaeological Project in northern Greece, where I explore the origins of the Macedonian Kingdom and, broader, questions around societal structure and state formation in Greece and the Balkans during the first millennium BCE. I also hold research positions in various projects in Greece and Spain, while I have served as associated lecturer at the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).
