Examination of a number of satellite and aerial images of the Milesian peninsula has allowed the mapping of a large number of apparently ancient linear features across the landscape. These are here interpreted, for the most part, as relicts of agro-economic field systems of unknown date, but most plausibly established during the Archaic, Hellenistic or late antique periods and perhaps used for centuries after, before the economic decline of the region in the second millennium AD. While earlier survey work has noted the existence of terracing and rural divisions at certain points in the landscape, the new remote-sensing data have provided an unprecedented large-scale insight into the extent and variety of forms of division, as well as documenting the stripping of macquis overgrowth by modern farming practices, which has, on the one hand, exposed these ancient landscapes but also, on the other, poses a threat to their preservation. The extent of the linear features suggests a high degree of land use on the peninsula at certain points in the past. Further investigation of these important features has the potential to provide critical insights into the economic history of rural and urban Miletos over the last 2,000 to 5,000 years.

农牧业重述：从航空和遥感图像对米利西安半岛历史农村经济的新见解

对米利西安半岛的一些卫星和航空图像的检查允许绘制大量明显古老的线性特征在整个景观中。这些在这里被解释为大部分时间未知的农业经济领域系统的遗迹，但最有可能在古代、希腊化或晚期古代时期建立起来，并且可能在该地区经济衰退之前的几个世纪中使用公元第二个千年。虽然早期的调查工作已经注意到景观中某些点存在梯田和农村划分，但新的遥感数据提供了前所未有的大规模洞察，了解划分形式的范围和多样性，并记录了剥离一方面，现代农业实践导致 macquis 过度生长，暴露了这些古老的景观，但另一方面，也对它们的保护构成了威胁。线状特征的范围表明半岛过去某些时间点的土地利用程度很高。对这些重要特征的进一步研究有可能为过去 2000 到 5000 年农村和城市米利托斯的经济历史提供重要的见解。
