"During the last years, systematic excavations are in progress near the village Kerassiá in Northern Euboea. From 1992, when the first excavations were carried out by the University of Athens, Department of Historical Geology and Palaeontology, a lot of fossiliferous sites have been discovered in the area of Kerassiá. In the present report we discuss the available results, mainly concerning the three richest until now sites, Kerassiá 1 (K1), Kerassiá 3 (K3) and Kerassiá 4 (K4).
The fauna is characterised by the relative scarcity of the hipparions and especially of the bovids. Though the presence of these taxa is significant, their specimens are much fewer than it is usual in the Greek Late Miocene localities. The bovids are represented mainly by dental material making their identification doubtful. Most of the Giraffidae findings are referred to Helladotherium. The rhinocerotid findings include some very rare and impressive specimens (complete skulls and mandibles) but the postcranial material is scanty. A complete skull with articulated mandible from the K4 site is attributable to a new aceratheriine species. Another complete but juvenile skull from K3 has all the morphological characters of Ceratotherium neumayri, while a complete mandible from K4 is possibly referred to “Dicerorhinus” pikermiensis. The available carnivore material is discussed separately in this volume.
The fauna suggests a fairly open environment, as the forest elements (suids, cervids, etc.) are rare or absent. The geological correlation, the sedimentological and taphonomic studies of the Kerassiá sites are still in progress. However, according to the available data the K3 and K4 are plausibly isochronous, as they seem to belong to the same stratigraphic level; the K1 is stratigraphically younger. The locality is of great taphonomic interest, as the material has signs of sorting."

"CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS: "MAPPING THE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA IN TURKEY"
Editors: Barış Çoban & Bora Ataman
Extended Deadline for abstracts:
January 1st 2013
http://alternativemediamap.net/
We aim to map the alternative media in Turkey, which is varied in form, structure and working styles such as “cracks”, “rhizomes” and “fronts”. Similarly to what has occurred with the mainstream media, both large and small examples of the alternative media, alongside their widespread prevalence inside the country, have also already transcended the national borders. We argue that mapping the alternative media, embracing newspapers, radio and television channels, cinemas, blogs, forums and platforms, essentially the full range of conventional and new media organs and vehicles, is one of the most useful research approaches to comprehending the nature of alternative politics in Turkey.
The alternative media works as a source of memory and an archive helping to understand the historical and current structure of alternative politics in Turkey. IT also gives voice to alternative ideologies and politics and makes their political activities visible. In addition, the alternative media, which mainly represents the “otherised”, oppressed and marginalised groups, forms the vanguard of struggle against the hegemony and barbarism of the oppressive, globalized neo-liberal society.
Alternative media, as an umbrella term, applies to those media organs which are typically bottom up organisations. In principle, their organizational structures and decision making processes are democratic, participatory, polyphonic and dialogic. Their opposition to the mainstream media finds its roots, in its form and content, in social and political struggles and is based in radical ideologies such as anarchism, radical democracy and Marxism. The existence of alternative media indicates the struggle to construct a truly democratic and free sphere of communication from a number of broad perspectives, varying from the idea of simply being independent from either the state or capital, to being completely opposed to them. In this context, it is also possible to claim that every organ of the alternative media, as a centre of subaltern resistance, is part of a greater alternative communication network.
This so-called alternative network (or networks) is/are the voice of different political or social groups, communities, minorities or even individuals at the grassroots level. Thus, they open the way for these groups to actively participate in political and social life, as either real “agents” or as “spectacles” in the field of symbolic struggle. Therefore, individuals or groups can find opportunities to get involved in both real and symbolic struggles for hegemony, not only as consumers, but also as producers; as active agents.
Therefore, alternative media institutions either on the micro- or macro-scale cannot be considered as combatants solely at the informational level. In addition to their struggle to gather, record and spread news and ideas concerning local, national and transnational problems, they also provide a response to the establishment through real political actions. It is not unusual to see their active participation in protests, or even note that they hold the leadership positions in the organisation of some of these dissident political actions. Therefore, their active struggle with the hegemonic powers can also be considered as an effort to create alternative political forms. More commonly however, alternative media operate as the symbolic production centre of alternative politics and as an incubation ground for the intellectual and ideological constructs of social movements.
Alternative media, along with other dissident institutions, are seen as paving the way for a brighter and more just future by being the voice of the voiceless and contributing to the imagining of a different world. Threatening so-called representative democracy by supporting participatory social, cultural and political activities is also deemed useful to this end. By engaging in such activities, they may be able to cause the transformation of political culture in general. More importantly, however, the ways in which subordinate constituents of the society interpret politics and their own means of participation could change in a positive manner. Moreover, such efforts may also lead to the construction of efficient counter-public spheres alongside the more common examples of alternative spaces.
Diverse anti-systemic, reformist and revolutionary ideological orientations, varied political discourses and different modes of action constituting the alternative media landscape mostly open up an opportunity for the “oppressed” to actively participate in these alternative political spaces that are, to a certain extent, diverse, colourful, vivid and, most importantly, innately dialogic.
In this context, we argue that the “duty” of academia should be to understand these alternatives without stigmatizing them as the source of conflicts within the prevailing social system. After all, we as editors, would like to study these initiatives since the imagining of an alternative world may only be possible by embracing the oppressed and their voice, even though the world around us is not particularly welcoming.
Abstracts of papers are sought on topics such as:
• Radical- militant media (affiliated with revolutionary organizations)
• Radical media (Struggling within legal parameters to push the limits of the existing system
• Identity and rights-based media (Human rights, labour and trade-union rights, gender, environment, ethnicity, struggles based on faith or denomination
• Transnational and diaspora-based alternative media
• Independent, objective, opposition media
• Dissident voices, “cracks” in the mainstream media
However, it should be noted that the categories above do not refer to independent categories with clear differences. It is possible to say that; most examples of the alternative media operating in Turkey can be included under more than one of the rubrics mentioned above. Nevertheless, the alternative media organs in Turkey, despite a degree of permeability in the boundaries that separate them, may be seen as belonging more to one or another of the above-mentioned classifications, therefore, these categories will constitute the book’s chapters.
Furthermore, we are mainly interested in the case studies (comparative if possible) and empirical research possessing theoretical and methodological clarity, and focusing on at least one of three basic dimensions of media studies; such as “Production”, “Text”, or “Audience”, without missing the multi-layered and intertwined relationships between these dimensions.
Abstracts of a maximum of 250 words in Turkish and English outlining the topic, theoretical and methodological approach as well as the research question, should be submitted to either Barış Çoban (bcoban@dogus.edu.tr) or Bora Ataman (bataman@dogus.edu.tr) until January1st 2013.
Announcement of the abstracts selected will be made by February 1 2013.
The deadline for full paper submissions is August 1, 2013
The editors are planning to publish book in Turkish and English and have made an agreement with Yordam, to publish in January 2014.
After the evaluation of the abstracts, negotiations with foreign publishing houses will begin for the English version.

The excavations currently underway at Ouriakos, along the southeastern coast of the island of Lemnos, brought to light an Epipalaeolithic settlement AMS dated to the second half of the eleventh millennium BP (Younger Dryas). The analysis of the lithic artefacts show that specialized tools were manufactured at the site, mainly microlithic bipolar lunates, from raw materials (limnoquartzite and radiolarite) available some 8 km to the north west in the deposits of the Havouli Valley.

Turkish–Greek problems are not new. They are well delineated and have remained dormant until very recently when the EU Helsinki summit in 1999 took a decision to accept Turkey's candidature, accompanied by lifting of the Greek veto on Turkish membership aspirations and veiled Turkish acceptance of the Union's relations with Cyprus. Since then, we have witnessed more twists in the 'long standing-easy to predict'Greek–Turkish relations than we had witnessed over the last 40 years.

The present research attempts to identify the impact of the financial crisis on online shopping in Greece, while identifying the percentage of Greeks purchasing food online, as well as their characteristics and preferences. In that sense, it acts merely as a starting point for related academic research in the Greek online market. Results show a negative impact of the financial crisis in the disposable income towards online purchases and rather low levels of online food purchases.

""La chanson politique a existé dès le Moyen Âge. On a souvent étudié ses manifestations diverses, mais le corpus, très vaste, reste assez rebelle à l’analyse. C’est la raison pour laquelle on a choisi d’aborder ces chansons politiques en Europe, aux XIXe et XXe siècles pour l’essentiel, dans plusieurs pays, afin de mieux cerner, par-delà le foisonnement des variétés, la différence entre chansons directement associées à un événement et chansons devenues politiques sous l’impulsion d’un contexte sociohistorique. Il a fallu prendre en compte aussi l’existence de registres divers — chanson noble (Lied), chanson d’origine populaire (Volkslied), chanson intellectuelle « à la française » (Das Chanson), et chanson à grande diffusion, « tube » pour employer le langage d’aujourd’hui (Schläger) —, dont le choix est souvent déterminé par la langue et la culture considérées. La question s’est, en outre, nécessairement posée de l’efficacité de ces chansons : visent-elles seulement, dans certains cas, à susciter une exaltation sans lendemain ? Sont-elles de nature satirique, relevant par là de l’univers carnavalesque ? Ou bien réellement en prise sur l’événement ? Avec le recul, les meilleures d’entre elles, exprimant« l’air du temps », se sont transformées pour nous en témoignage sur telle ou telle époque, à la « modernité » de laquelle elles contribuent, au sens que Baudelaire donne à ce mot. On peut se demander cependant si, étant donné les conditions actuelles de production et de diffusion, les temps actuels en transmettront beaucoup aux générations futures.

Tour operators are a major source of tourist traffic for a large number of destinations including large European cities. The latter have been witnessing a steady rise in city breaks during recent years with a significant portion of visitors travelling on inclusive tours assembled by tour operators. Tourist authorities of these cities are, therefore, aiming their marketing efforts also at tour operators offering city breaks programmes. Properly understanding a destination’s standing in those programmes is a prerequisite for efficiently promoting the destination to tour operators.
Analysis of tour operator catalogues has long been employed by both hotels and destination marketing organisations as a tool to benchmark one’s own position against the competitive set. Such a brochure analysis has yielded a wealth of information relevant to strategic marketing planning when it was applied in the case of Athens. This analysis, conducted in late 2008, clearly indicated the position of Athens in the city breaks programmes of tour operators. The method of content analysis was applied to the city breaks catalogues of eight of Europe’s largest tour operators headquartered in Germany and the UK.
Comparisons were made between Athens and its competitive set as defined in previous research. Aspects that were reviewed included scope and depth of the presentation of each city, local activities and services offered to tourists in each city, characteristics of hotels on offer, proposed events and itineraries etc. Shortcomings of Athens compared to its competitive set were clearly identified.
The final outcome of this research has been a series of practically oriented policy recommendations to the tourist authorities of Athens as to how to market the city more efficiently to tour operators selling city breaks. These recommendations especially focus on product development, sales promotions and web-based activities aimed at tour operators with city breaks programmes.

"This paper uses Bayesian analysis tools for the stochastic evaluation of work time losses due to occupational accidents in a workplace. Models are developed for accident frequencies, duration of recovery from an accident, and the worker unavailability. The unavailability statistics are hereby derived considering a two state stochastic model, to provide estimates for the expected work time losses over a base period of workplace operation. The above models are applied on real multiyear accident data collected from the Greek Petrochemical Industry.
Highlights
► Bayesian analysis of occupational accident data. ► Prediction of work time loss due to recovering from occupational accidents, and related statistics. ► Two state Markov model for worker availability. ► Evidence from multiyear accident data collected from Petrochemical Industry.
