 A non academic dissemination act of the project was to make a presentation of medieval ways,

vessels, and structures of water collection and management at a high school in Messinia. 

 

Presentation                               included

 - an archaeological overview of local cisterns, acqueducts, channels preserved,

 - samples of clay conduits, jugs,  pitchers and their manufacture by a ceramist, and 

 - the quality of water in the old days by a biologist

 Comments included the impact of hydraulic landscape and environmental resources

in the subsistence of medieval communities, the role of women in carrying

water from the source, the ingenuity (and need) of people in exploitating

and storing the most valuable good.
