In the two volumes of this book, the history of human presence in Imbros is presented evolutionarily, as well as its archaeological documentation based on current data. The scant information from ancient and medieval texts, some descriptions from old travelers, and mainly the studies of scholars and archaeologists from the second half of the 19th century were until recently the only documented background for engaging with the archaeological remains of Imbros. The lack of excavation research, and therefore publications, from the services and university institutions of the Turkish state prolonged the absence of Imbros from modern archaeological literature until almost the end of the 20th century. The authors managed, through long hikes in inhabited and abandoned settlements, in gentle plains and rugged mountainous areas, in beautiful coastal locations, and in wooded slopes in the center of the island, to ascertain the strong reciprocal relationship that contemporary Imbrians had with their land. Since archaeology "co-writes" history by constituting its visible and tangible part, they considered it appropriate to record and capture, at least photographically, the surviving surface archaeological and other indications that document the historical course of Imbros. In numerous locations, they identified remnants of works that reveal and compose the framework of life and activity of the people who inhabited Imbros and left their marks in every corner of the island. In many areas of the eastern and southern coastal parts of the island today, there are preserved indications characteristic of the use of spaces by Paleolithic humans. Throughout the island, scattered remains of dozens of settlements with use from Neolithic times until the end of the Bronze Age are preserved, while in numerous locations, remnants of the life of Athenian cleruchs and their descendants during the classical, Hellenistic, and Roman times are visible. Marble architectural members embedded in churches and chapels, ruins of castles and towers, and inscriptions preserve elements of the early Christian and Byzantine history of Imbros, while its seven villages with the characteristic architecture of their public and private buildings and the dozens of ruined rural settlements (xomeria) with their barns, chapels, threshing floors, and fountains are the indisputable witnesses of the uninterrupted continuity of Imbrian Hellenism in modern times. The first volume develops the data documenting human presence during prehistoric and historical antiquity, that is, the history of the island from the depths of prehistory until the end of Roman times. The second volume includes the scant (at least until the mid-19th century) elements recorded in sources for the Christian times, from the beginning of the early Christian era until today, as well as the considerably more information revealed by the surviving remains. The book is published with the generous sponsorship of His All-Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
