Urban development of the city of Assos from its beginnings to Roman times

Assos为全面调查其城市发展提供了良好的条件，因为中世纪的连续聚落历史和唯一的小型现代建筑密度，以及非常好的遗址保存程度。该项目的目的是描述Assos在其城市变革的关键历史阶段的城市发展，从而将该城市介绍为目前关于小亚细亚西部和爱琴海城市发展的科学讨论中一个基本上未被注意但特别富有成效的案例研究。项目第一阶段对雅典卫城的城墙和建筑结构以及城市内部调查的初步研究结果有助于了解该定居点从公元前7世纪历史上建立到罗马时代的发展，以及相关的政治变革及其相关的建筑和建造。该项目的第二阶段旨在通过考古地层发掘，在当前古代都市学研究的背景下，验证、充实和讨论ASSOS城市发展的新成果和新理论。作为ASSOS研究项目的最终结果，将提交ASSOS城市发展的综合介绍，包括所有城市和建筑、考古和历史因素。新的城市发展模式将在当前对西亚、小亚细亚和爱琴海地区古城发展的研究背景下构思。

Assos offers good conditions for a comprehensive investigation of its urban development due to the continuous history of settlement to the Middle Ages and the only small modern building density, as well as an extremely good degree of preservation of the ruins. The aim of the project is to describe the urban development of Assos in its essential historical phases of urban change and thus to introduce the city as a yet largely unnoticed, but particularly fruitful case study in the current scientific discussion on urban development in western Asia Minor and the Aegean. The preliminary results of research on the city walls and the building structures on the Acropolis and of the intra-urban City Survey from the first phase of the project allow understanding the development of the settlement from its historical founding in the 7th Century B.C. to Roman times, as well as the associated political transformation and its related architecture and construction. The second phase of the project serves to verify, substantiate and discuss the new results and theories of the urban development of Assos in the context of current research on ancient urbanistics by archaeological stratigraphic excavations. As a final result of the Assos research project a complex presentation of the urban development of Assos will be submitted, including all urban and architectural, archaeological and historical factors. The new urban development model will be conceived in the context of current research on ancient city development in Western Asia Minor and the Aegean.
