​



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.
