ABSTRACT
Timothy Gregory is well-known for his scholarship in Byzantine history and Classical archaeology, but, over the years, he also developed and refined many innovative archaeological survey methods, including "off-site" investigations, remote sensing, predictive modeling, and non-destructive data recording. Tim has long been an advocate of “landscape archaeology,” and his survey projects have provided environmental and cultural contexts for the prehistory and history of the Eastern Mediterranean.1 The goal of the “landscape approach” is to take research beyond single sites into regions and landscapes. The field and laboratory methods employed in survey are multidisciplinary, and draw on the expertise of ethnographers, geophysicists, landscape architects, botanists, and chemists, as well as archaeologists and historians. Tim was an early advocate of this approach in a region where archaeologists trained in the humanities were wary of scientific and anthropological approaches.2 He was aware of the value of truly multidisciplinary
investigations in the heart of the Classical world, and set out to bridge the gulf between the sciences and humanities.
