SUMMARY
The archaeological evidence for rural housing in Boeotia during the Late Medieval or Frankish and Early Ottoman periods is rather limited. The identification of rural settlements dated between the 13th and 16th/17th centuries relies on systematic surface survey and the discovery of ruined feudal towers, traces of longhouses, and surface pottery concentrations. Late Ottoman houses share similar characteristics to housing types that remained more or less unchanged from the Late Medieval period, in Boeotia as well as in other regions of Greece. They fall generally in two categories, the ground floor longhouse, and the two-storey house. |
