The Fall of Polystylon Fort to the Ottomans: The Historical Context and the Narrative of its decapitated Defender
Abstract
Στο άρθρο συνεξετάζονται αρχαιολογικά και ανθρωπολογικά δεδομένα από τις ανασκαφές στο Πολύστυλον/ Άβδηρα. Οι ιστορικές μαρτυρίες από τον τελευταίο αιώνα του Βυζαντίου συνδυάζονται με τις παλαιοπαθολογικές ενδείξεις από τα σκελετικά υπολείμματα ενός βυζαντινού πολεμιστή, και διαφωτίζεται η κατάσταση των ανθρώπων ιδιαίτερα στα χρόνια της πολιορκίας του φρουρίου Πολύστυλον (αρχαία Άβδηρα) από τους Οθωμανούς και της απέλπιδας αντίστασης των υπερασπιστών του.
