Abstract
In this paper Kenna describes the disappearance of a distinctively local style of building construction, the barrel-vault, on the Island of Anafi, and links '…it to a set of well-known occurrences: migration, capital accumulation, improved communications, knowledge of other building styles and access to new technology and materials, and changing attitudes and values including the adoption of both new, urban and internationsl styles and of other local Greek styles as traditional' (p. 440). The author then discusses the social meaning of houses, neghborhoods, and parts of the landscape.
