Résumé: Le présent ouvrage propose une histoire de l'Erétrie moderne, de la redécouverte du site antique au projet urbanistique de 1834 pour une ville nouvelle destinée à accueillir les réfugiés de l'île de Psara - anéantie en 1824 par les Ottomans - et au développement urbain d'Erétrie/Nea Psara au XIXe et au XXe siècles. Le nom d'Erétrie englobe trois couches historiques distinctes: la cité antique, la ville néoclassique, dessinée par l'architecte allemand Eduard Schaubert (1804-1860), et le village moderne, issu de son projet. Chacune de ces strates - vestiges antiques, tissu urbain néoclassique et constructions plus récentes - est perceptible au sein de cet ensemble urbain et se trouve en relation constante avec les autres. L'exposé des recherches archéologiques - depuis la redécouverte du site antique par Ciriaco de' Pizzicolli d'Ancona (Cyriaque d'Ancône) en 1436 déjà, puis de manière systématique par des voyageurs-archéologues dès le XIXe siècle - comble une lacune dans l'historiographie de la cité antique. Cette approche met également en lumière la relation étroite entre archéologie et urbanisme au XIXe siècle. Si l'exploration de la Grèce avait été jusqu'à son indépendance en 1827 essentiellement le fait des archéologues, des historiens et des philologues, après cette date, des géologues, des ingénieurs et des topographes travaillant pour le développement économique du jeune Etat se mirent également à parcourir le pays, le regard tourné non plus seulement vers l'Antiquité, mais aussi vers l'avenir. L'histoire de la redécouverte d'Erétrie permet ainsi d'éclairer divers aspects liés à la gestation de l'Etat grec. Le projet conçu en 1834 par Ecluard Schaubert de ville néoclassique superposée aux ruines de la cité antique d'Erétrie s'inscrit dans un réseau de créations de villes nouvelles et de modernisations de villes existantes par le nouvel Etat grec, qui cherchait à fonder sa légitimité et son identité, après la domination ottomane, sur les valeurs idéales (ou idéalisées) de l'Antiquité classique. Dans le projet de développement urbain d'Erétrie, la relation étroite entre archéologie et urbanisme et, par conséquent, la référence à l'Antiquité sont évidentes: Eduard Schaubert commença par tracer sur son plan toutes les ruines antiques, dressant ainsi l'état des connaissances archéologiques du site. Sur cette base, l'architecte conçut la ville néoclassique en y incluant les principales ruines, qui devaient servir de repères visuels et qui concrétisaient ainsi le lien idéologique de la monarchie absolue avec l'Antiquité. A Erétrie, deux perspectives principales reliaient le port à l'acropole et l'Ecole navale au théâtre antique. L'intégration de ruines antiques dans un projet urbanistique avait été réalisée par Stamatios Kleanthes et Eduard Schaubert en 1831-1832 dans le plan de l'Athènes moderne, avant que celle-ci n'ait été promue capitale de la Grèce. Les deux architectes ont ainsi anticipé le caractère idéal d'Athènes dans le processus de gestation de l'Etat grec. L'importance de ce plan et de celui qu'ifs ont établi sur le même modèle pour le Pirée a été reconnue par les historiens de l'urbanisme. En revanche, le plan d'Erétrie, qui suit pourtant les mêmes principes, n'a été que partiellement étudié. Cette monographie montre que le projet d'Erétrie était le plus abouti des trois, qui tous se caractérisent par un système de routes rayonnant depuis le siège du gouvernement (résidences royales à Athènes et au Pirée, mairie à Erétrie). Cet éventail de rues ou u patte d'oie» embrasse à Athènes l'acropole et au Pirée fa baie du port, alors qu'a Erétrie il est double, axé en raison de la topographie sur l'acropole et sur Pa baie du port. Cette double patte d'oie crée ainsi le lien idéologique avec l'Antiquité et témoigne, par son ouverture sur le port, de l'essor économique souhaité par le gouvernement. Le plan d'Erétrie représente de manière exemplaire l'urbanisme programmatique de la Grèce sous Othon ler (1832-1862). L'ouvrage s'intéresse ensuite à la réalisation du projet de Schaubert, dont la mise en oeuvre n'a pas répondu aux attentes du Gouvernement. Le faible développement d'Erétrie s'explique principalement par le surdimensionnement du projet, des finances publiques modestes, la malaria endémique et une politique économique inadaptée aux traditions commerciales des Psariotes. Les lenteurs dans la réalisation du projet et même des régressions au cours du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle, puis l'urbanisation accélérée d'Erétrie à partir des années 1960, ont eu pour conséquence que les historiens de l'urbanisme et les urbanistes ont sous-estimé, voire ignoré la valeur historique de ce concept Cependant, l'exécution du projet néoclassique s'est poursuivie de manière continue et des références au plan de Schaubert peuvent être observées dans l'aménagement récent de la localité aujourd'hui encore. Ainsi, des arbres ont été plantés dans les années 1960 le long de l'enceinte urbaine antique, à l'emplacement où Schaubert avait prévu la création d'une promenade arborée. Au centre d'Erétrie, là où l'agora principale aurait dû être aménagée, une grande place publique servant au marché hebdomadaire a été créée. Dans le quartier oriental, une petite église dédiée à la Pan hagia Paravouniotissa a été construite en 2001 sur la parcelle où Schaubert en avait prévue une. D'importants éléments des projets de Schaubert, qui ne sont actuellement plus guère perceptibles à Athènes et au Pirée, le sont toujours à Erétrie. Les espaces verts, par exemple, occupent une place importante dans le domaine privé: malgré la densification du tissu urbain, des parcelles caractéristiques contiennent encore des maisons isolées d'un ou de deux niveaux côté rue, avec un grand jardin à l'arrière, séparé des parcelles voisines par un mur en pierre ou en brique crue. Erétrie mérite donc une reconnaissance plus considérable dans l'histoire de l'urbanisme, puisqu'elle contribue à faire mieux comprendre les projets de ses deux villes soeurs. L'étude du projet urbanistique est complétée par une approche typologique des constructions néoclassiques d'Erétrie qui souligne encore la valeur historique de cet ensemble. Comme la plupart des édifices sont, menacés de démolition, à l'exception d'un petit nombre d'entre eux qui bénéficient d'un bon entretien, un inventaire photographique des constructions d'Erétrie datant du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle a été constitué entre 1994 et 2005, complété par des photographies anciennes. Il en ressort que les formes et les techniques de construction sont représentatives de l'architecture privée à l'époque de la création de l'Etat. Enfin, le plan directeur d'Erétrie, réalisé en 1975-1976 par un séminaire du Département d'architecture de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Zurich avec l'appui de l'Ecole suisse d'archéologie en Grèce, est publié ici intégralement pour la première fois. Le présent ouvrage rend ses lettres de noblesse à un ensemble urbain néoclassique, certes modeste, mais issu d'un projet urbanistique ambitieux, témoin significatif du programme politique du nouvel Etat grec. SUMMARY Translated by William Eisler This book gives an account of the history of modern Eretria. It encompasses the rediscovery of the ancient city, the 1834 urban plan for the new town designed to accommodate the refugees from the island of Psara - destroyed by the Ottomans in 1824 - and also the urban development of Eretria/Nea Psara in the 19th and 20th centuries. The name Eretria carries a rich heritage: the ancient city, the neoclassical town designed by the Germen architect Eduard Schaubert (1804-1860), and the modern village. These three distinct historical layers ancient ruins, neoclassical plan and more recent constructions - can be seen within this urban area and are interlinked with each other. The account of the archeological investigations fills a gap in the historiography of the ancient city. This started with the early rediscovery of the ancient site by Ciriaco de'Pizzicolli d'Ancona in 1436, and was followed by systematic research by travellers/ archeologists from the 19th century onward. Furthermore, this shows the close relationship between archeology and urbanism in the 19th century. The exploration of Greece prier te its independence in 1827 was mainly red by archeologists, historians and philologists. Subsequently, geologists, engineers and topographers working for the young state's economic development travelled across the country, with their attention focused not only on Antiquity but are on the future. The history of Eretria's rediscovery gives new insights on various aspects related to the development of the Greek state. In 1834, Eduard Schaubert's project, planning a neoclassical town built upon the ancient Eretria, took place alongside the development of other new cities and the modernization of existing ones du ring the Ottoman domination. By doing so, the new Greek state wanted to build its legitimacy and identity, based upon the ideal (or idealized) values of Classical Antiquity. In the urban development of Eretria, the close connection between archeology and urbanism, and the reference to Antiquity, are obvious. Eduard Schaubert began by tracing on his plan ail of the ancient ruins, thus showing the knowledge of the archeological site at that time. On this basis, the architect planned the neoclassical town, incorporating the principal ruins which were to serve as visual references embodying the ideological link between Antiquity and King Otto's absolute monarchy. In Eretria, two principal visual axes linked the port to the acropolis and the Naval School to the ancient theatre. The integration of ancient ruins in an urban project had already been achieved by Stamatios Kleanthes and Eduard Schaubert in 1831-1832 in their plan for modern Athens, before it became the capital of Greece. The two architects had therefore anticipated the ideal character of Athens at the beginning of the Greek state. The importance of this plan and that of Piraeus (designed along the same model) has long been recognized by urban historians. By contrast, the plan of Eretria based open the same principles has been only partly studied. This book explains clearly that the Eretria project was the most elaborate. The three cities are characterized by a system of roads radiating from the seat of government (the royal residences in Athens and Piraeus, the town hall in Eretria). This fan-like arrangement of streets includes the Acropolis in Athens and the harbour in Piraeus, whereas in Eretria it is twofold, orientated towards the acropolis and the harbour on account of the topography. This double fan-like arrangement shows the ideological link with Antiquity and, with its opening onto the harbour, the government's desire for economic development. The plan of Eretria is a typical ex- ample of the programmatic urbanism of Greece under Otto I (1832-1862). The book discusses the completion of Schaubert's project, which was not fully carried out as expected by the government. The poor development of Eretria can be explained primarily by the excessive scale of the project, the modest public finances, the endemic malaria and an economic policy unsuitable to the commercial traditions of the Psariotes. Delays, even regressions in the implementation of the project in the course of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, followed by the growing urbanization of Eretria starting in the 1960's, led urban historians and town planners to underestimate or even to ignore the historical value of this concept. Nevertheless, the neoclassical project was carried out steadfastly, and references to the Schaubert plan can still be seen in the modern layout of the town. Trees were planted in the 1960's all along the circumference of the ancient city, where Schaubert had planned a tree-lined promenade. A big public square serving as a weekly market place was created in the centre of Eretria, where the principal agora had been originally planned. In 2001 a small church dedicated to the Panhagia Paravouniotissa was built on a plot of land in the eastern district, where this had been intended by Schaubert. Important elements of Schaubert's projects, which are barely perceptible in modern-day Athens and Piraeus, remain visible in Eretria. Green areas, for example, occupy a significant place within the private properties. In spite of the urban densification, characteristic plots still include isolated houses of one or two stories facing the street, with large gardens in the rear, separated from neighbours by stone or mudbrick walls. Eretria therefore deserves a more prominent position in the history of urbanism, as it contributes to a better understanding of ifs two sister cities. The study of the urban project is enriched by a typological approach to the neoclassical constructions of Eretria, underlining once again the historical value of this heritage. Since only a small number of the buildings have benefited from good maintenance and the greater part is threatened with demolition, a photographic inventory of the constructions of Eretria dating from the 19tIt and early 20th centuries was produced between 1994 and 2005, supplemented by old photographs. This documentation clearly shows that the forms and techniques of construction are characteristic of private architecture at the beginning of modern Greece. Finally, the master plan of Eretria drafted in 1975-1976 by a seminar of the Department of Architecture of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, with the support of the Swiss School of Archeology in Greece, is published here in full for the first time. This book gives credit to a neoclassical urban heritage which, although modest in scale, derives from an ambitious project that embodies the political programme of the new Greek state. ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ Μετάβραση Ελενή Δημητρακοπούλου Η παρούσα εργασία προτείνει μια. ιστορία της σύγχρονης πόλης της Ερέτριας, ξεκινώντας από την αποκάλύψη του αρχαιολογικού χώρου, περνώντας από την σύνταξη, το 1834, του ρυμοτομικού σχεδίου για μια νέα. πόλη που σκοπό είχε να υποδεχθεί τούς πρόσφυγες από τα Ψαρά. - που καταστράφηκαν ολοσχερώς το 1824 από τούς Οθωμανούς - και εξετάζοντας τέλος την πολεοδομική εξέλιξη της Ερέτριας/Νέων Ψαρών κατά τον 19° και τον 20° αι. Πίσω από το όνομα της Ερέτριας κρύβονται τρία διαφορετικά. ιστορικά στρώματα,: η αρχαία πόλη, η νεοκλασική πόλη πού σχεδιάστηκε από τον γερμανό αρχιτε κτονα "Εντοναρντ Σάουμπερτ (1804-1860) και η σύγχρονη πόλη που κτίστηκε πάνω στά. σχέδια του τελευταίού. Κάθε ένα από αυτά τα στρώματα - αρχαία κατάλοιπα. νεοκλασικός πολεοδομικός ιστός και νεώτερα κτίσματα - γίνεται αντιληπτό στο πλαίσιο αυτού του πολεοδομικού συνόλου και βρίσκεται σε άμεση σχέση με τα άλλα δύο. Ηπαρονσίαση των αρχαιολογικών ερευνών, που ξεκινούν το 1436 με την αποκάλυψη τον αρχαιολογικού χώρού από τον Ciriaco de' Pizzicolli d'Ancona (Κυριάκος ο Αγκωνίτης) και συνεχίζονται συστηματικά. από περιηγητές_αρχαιολόγούς κατά το 19° αι., καλύπτει ένα κενό στην ιστοριογραφία της έρεύνας της αρχαίας πύλης. Η προσέγγιση αυτή φωτίζει επίσης τη στενή σχέσημεταξύαρχαιολογίας και πολεοδομίας κατά τον 190 αι. Αν η εξερεύνηση της Ελλάδος, ως την ανεξαρτησία της το 1827, ήταν έργο κνρϊως αρχαιολόγων, ιστορικών και φιλολόγων, μετά από αυτήν την χρονολογία., γεωλόγοι, μηχανικοί και τοπογράφοι που εργάζονταν για την οικονομική ανάπτυξη τον νεοσύστατου Ελληνικού Κράτούς, άρχισαν επίσης να περιτρέχονν όλη την χώρα., με το βλέμμα. στραμμένο όχι μόνο προς την Αρχαιότητα, αλλά και προς το μέλλον. Η ιστορία της αποκάλυψης της Ερέτριας φωτίζει έτσι και διάφορες όψεις που συνδέονται με την γένεση του Ελληνικού Κράτους. Το 1834, υ 'Εντοναρντ Σάουμπερτ εκπόνησε το σχέδιο μιας νεοκλασικής πόλης που Θα επικαθόταν στα; ερείπια. της αρχαίας Ερέτριας?το έργο εντάσσεται στο δίκτυο δημιουργίας νέων πόλεων και εκσυγχρονισμού των υπαρχυυσών από το νεοσύστατο Ελληνικό Κράτος. το οποίο, μετά την Οθωμανική κυριαρχία, επεδίωκε να Θεμελιώσει την νομιμότητα και την ταυτότητά του πάνω στις ιδανικές ή εξιδανικευμένες αξίες της κλασικής αρχαιότητας. Στο σχέδιο της πολεοδομικής ανάπτυξης της Ερέτριας, η στενή σχέση μεταξύ αρχαιολογίας και πολεοδομίας και, κατ επέκταση. οι σαφείς αναφορές στην Αρχαιότητα. είναι εμφανείς: ο Εντοναρντ Σάουμπερτ άρχισε σχεδιάζοντας στο τοπογραφικό τον όλα τα αρχαία. ερείπια, καταγράφοντας έτσι τις τότε αρχαιολογικές γνώσεις για, το χώρο. Σε αυτή τη βάση, ο αρχιτέκτονας συνέλαβε την νεοκλασική πόλη εντάσσοντας σε αυτήν τα κυριότερα αρχαία μνημεία, τα οποία χρησίμευαν ως οπτικά σημεία αναφοράς, ενώ συγχρόνως υλοποιούσαν την ιδεολογική σχέση της απόλύτης μοναρχίας με την Αρχαιότητα. Στην Ερέτρια, δυο βασικοί άξονες συνέδεαν το λιμάνι με την Ακρόπολη και τη Ναυτική Σχολή με το Αρχαίο Θέατρο. Η ένταξη αρχαίων ερειπίων σε ένα πολεοδομικό σχέδιο είχε ήδη πραγματοποιηθεί από τούς Σταμάτιο Κλεάνθη και'Εντουαρντ Σάουμπερτ στα 1831-1832, στον σχεδιασμό της νέας Αθήνας, πριν αυτή ανακηρυχθεί σε πρωτεύουσα. της Ελλάδος. Οι δυο αρχιτέκτονες προεξόφλησαν έτσι τον συμβολικό χαρακτήρα της Αθήνας στην διαδικασία. γένεσης του Ελληνικού Κράτούς, Η σημασία αυτού τον σχεδίου καθώς και εκείνου που συνέταξαν, πάνω στο ίδιο πνεύμα, για τον Πειραιά έχει αναγνωριστεί από τους σύγχρονούς πολεοδόμους. Αντίθετα, το σχέδιο της Ερέτριας, παρ όλο που ακολούθεί τις ίδιες αρχές, μελετήθηκε πολύ λίγο. Η παρούσα μονογραφία δείχνει ότι το σχέδιο της Ερέτριας ήταν το πιο ολοκληρωμένο από τα τρία. Βασικό χαρακτηριστικό των σχεδίων αυτών είναι ένα σύστημα οδών που αναπτύσσονται ακτινωτά από το κέντρο εξουσίας (βασιλική κατοικία στην Αθήνα και τον Πειραιά, δημαρχείο στην Ερέτρια). Αυτή η ακτινωτή διάταξη των οδών συμπεριλαμβάνει στην Αθήνα την Ακρόπολη και στον Πειραιά το λιμάνι, ενώ στην Ερέτρια είναι αμφίροπη, προσανατολισμένη, λόγω της τοπογραφίας, προς την ακρόπολη αλλά και προς τον όρμο του λιμανιού. Αυτή η διπλή ακτινωτή διάταξη από τη μια δημιούργεί τον ιδεολογικό δεσμό ιιε την Αρχαιότητα, ενώ από την άλλη τονίζει, με το άνοιγμά της προς το λιμάνι, την οικονομική άνθηση της πόλης που επιθυμούσε η κεντρική εξουσία. Τα σχέδιο της Ερέτριας αποτελεί αντιπροσωπευτικό δείγμα της προγραμματικής πολεοδομίας της Ελλάδος κατά τα, χρόνια της Βασιλείας του "Οθωνος (1832-1862). Η υλοποίηση του σχεδίου του Σάουμπερτ δεν ανταποκρίθηκε στις προσδοκίες της κυβέρνησης. Η μικρή ανάπτύξη της Ερέτριας οφείλεται κυρίως στούς ανεδαφικούς, μεγαλεπί βολονς στόχους του σχεδίού, στα μέτρια δημόσια οικονομικά, στην ενδημική ελονοσία λόγω των υφισταμένων ελών καθώς και σε μια, οικονομική πολιτική που ήταν ξένη στις εμπορικές παραδόσεις των Ψαριανών. Οι αργοί ρυθμοί της πραγματοποίησης του σχεδίού και μάλιστα κάποιες περικοπές τον κατά τη διάρκεια τον 19°ν και στις αρχές του 2θ αι., και στη συνέχεια η ταχεία πολεοδομική εξέλιξη της Ερέτριας από τη δεκαετία του 1960, είχαν σαν συνέπεια να υποτιμηθεί ή κατ να αγνοηθεί η ιστορική αξία του πολεοδομικού σχεδίου από τους ιστορικούς της πολεοδομίας. Ωστόσο, η εκτέλεση τον νεοκλασικού σχεδίου ακολουθήθηκε με συνέπεια, ενώ αναφορές στο σχέδιο του Σάουμπερτ μπορούν να παρατηρηθούν, ακόμα. και σήμερα. στις νεώτερες διευθετήσεις τον χώρου. Ετσι, στη δεκαετία του 1960, κατά μήκος του αρχαίού τείχούς της πόλης φυτεύθηκαν δέντρα, στη Θέση όπού ο Σάουμπερτ είχε προβλέψει τη δημιουργία ενός δεντροφυτεμένου περιπάτου. Στο κέντρο της Ερέτριας, εκεί όπου Θα έπρεπε να διαμορφωθεί η κύρια αγορά της πόλης, δημιουργήθηκε μια μεγάλη δημόσια πλατεία όπου γίνεται η εβδομαδιαία λαϊκή αγορά. Στην ανατολική συνοικία, χτίστηκε, το 2001, μια μικρή εκκλησία αφιερωμένη στην Παναγία, την Παραβοννιώτισσα, στο οικόπεδο όπου ο Σάουμπερτ είχε προβλέψει μια εκκλησία. Σημαντικά στοιχεία των σχεδίων του Σάουμπερτ, που δεν γίνονται πια καθόλου αντιληπτά στην ΑΘήνα και στον Πειραιά, μπορούν να παρατηρηθούν στην Ερέτρια. Το πράσινο, για παράδειγμα, καταλαμβάνει σημαντική Θέση τον ιδιωτικού χώρου: παρά την πύκνωση τον πολεοδομικού ιστού, χαρακτηριστικά είναι τα οικόπεδα που περιέχούν ακόμα μεμονωμένα σπίτια, μονώροφα ή διώροφα, επί προσώπου οδού, με ένα μεγάλο κήπο στο πίσω μέρος, που χωρίζονται από τα, γειτονικά οικόπεδα με ένα μαντρότοιχο πέτρινο ή από ωμές πλίνθους. Η Ερέτρια οφείλει λοιπόν να λάβει τη Θέση που της αξίζει στην ιστορία της Νεοελληνικής πολεοδομίας, εφόσον συμβάλλει στην καλύτερη κατανόηση των σχεδίων των δυο αυτών αδελφών πόλεων. Η μελέτη τον πολεοδομικού σχεδίού συμπληρώνεται από μια τυπολογική προσέγγιση των νεοκλασικών κτηρίων της Ερέτριας, η οποία υπογραμμίζει ακόμα περισσότερο την ιστορική αξία του συνόλου αυτού. Καθώς τα περισσότερα κτήρια απειλούνται με κατεδάφιση, με εξαίρεση λίγα από αυτά που είχαν την τύχη να συντηρούνται σωστά, μεταξύ 1994 και 2005, καταρτίστηκε ένα φωτογραφικό αρχείο των κτιρίων της Ερέτριας που χρονολογούνται στο 19° και στις αρχές τον 200υ αι., συμπληρωμένο και από παλιές φωτογραφίες. Από αυτό προκύπτει ότι οι μορφές κατ οι τεχνικές δομήσεως είναι αντιπροσωπευτικές της ιδιωτικής αρχιτεκτονικής κατά την εποχή της σύστασης τον Ελληνικού Κράτους. Τέλος, το γενικό ρυθμιστικό σχέδιο της Ερέτριας, που εκπονήθηκε στα 1975-1976 από μελετητική ομάδατης σχολής Αρχιτεκτόνων του Ομοσπονδιακού Πολυτεχνείου της Ζυρίχης, με την υποστήριξη της Ελβετικής Αρχαιολογικής Σχολής στην Ελλάδα., δημοσιεύεται εδώ για πρώτη φορά στην πλήρη μορφή του. Η παρούσα εργασία, αφορά ένα νεοκλασικό πολεοδομικό σύνολο, ταπεινό ίσως, αλλά αποτέλεσμα ενός φιλόδοξου πολεοδομικού σχεδιασμού, ο οποίος αποτελεί σημαντικό μάρτυρα του πολιτικού προγράμματος τον νεοσύστατού Ελληνικού Κράτους.

Both the civic discourse and the religious ritual present in the festival of Great Dionysia make the question of foreigners and their integration a central issue for the Athenian tragedy. The self-image that Athens builds through the tragedy uses this theme to differentiate itself from barbarians and from other Greek cities. Nevertheless there are situations where the integration of the foreigner becomes problematic even in the tragic Athens. Such is in particular the case when the integration involves the marriage. This paper focuses on a case of incompatibility, by confronting the image of Athens in the third stasimon of Euripides' Medea and that of the infanticidal heroine.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A new clinical construct termed embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) was recently introduced, but no such population has been described yet. Our aim is to provide a detailed descriptive analysis of an ESUS population derived from a large prospective ischemic stroke registry using the proposed diagnostic criteria. METHODS: The criteria proposed by the Cryptogenic Stroke/ESUS International Working Group were applied to the Athens Stroke Registry to identify all ESUS patients. ESUS was defined as a radiologically confirmed nonlacunar brain infarct in the absence of (a) extracranial or intracranial atherosclerosis causing ≥50% luminal stenosis in arteries supplying the ischemic area, (b) major-risk cardioembolic source, and (c) any other specific cause of stroke. RESULTS: Among 2735 patients admitted between 1992 and 2011, 275 (10.0%) were classified as ESUS. In the majority of ESUS (74.2%), symptoms were maximal at onset. ESUS were of moderate severity (median National Institute Health Stroke Scale score, 5). The most prevalent risk factor was arterial hypertension (64.7%), and 50.9% of patients were dyslipidemic. Among potential causes of the ESUS, covert atrial fibrillation (AF) was the most prevalent: in 30 (10.9%) patients, AF was diagnosed during hospitalization for stroke recurrence, whereas in 50 (18.2%) patients AF was detected after repeated ECG monitoring during follow-up. Also, covert AF was strongly suggested in 38 patients (13.8%) but never recorded. CONCLUSIONS: About 10% of patients with first-ever ischemic stroke met criteria for ESUS; covert paroxysmal AF seems to be a frequent cause of ESUS.

The Cretaceous Mont Saint-Hilaire complex (Quebec, Canada) comprises three major rock units that were emplaced in the following sequence: (I) gabbros; (II) diorites; (III) diverse partly agpaitic foid syenites. The major element compositions of the rock-forming minerals, age-corrected Nd and oxygen isotope data for mineral separates and trace element data of Fe-Mg silicates from the various lithologies imply a common source for all units. The distribution of the rare earth elements in clinopyroxene from the gabbros indicates an ocean island basalt type composition for the parental magma. Gabbros record temperatures of 1200 to 800 degrees C, variable silica activities between 0 center dot 7 and 0 center dot 3, and f(O2) values between -0 center dot 5 and +0 center dot 7 (log delta FMQ, where FMQ is fayalite-magnetite-quartz). The diorites crystallized under uniform a(SiO2) (a(SiO2) = 0 center dot 4-0 center dot 5) and more reduced f(O2) conditions (log delta FMQ similar to-1) between similar to 1100 and similar to 800 degrees C. Phase equilibria in various foid syenites indicate that silica activities decrease from 0 center dot 6-0 center dot 3 at similar to 1000 degrees C to < 0 center dot 3 at similar to 550 degrees C. Release of an aqueous fluid during the transition to the hydrothermal stage caused a(SiO2) to drop to very low values, which results from reduced SiO(2) solubilities in aqueous fluids compared with silicate melts. During the hydrothermal stage, high water activities stabilized zeolite-group minerals. Fluid inclusions record a complex post-magmatic history, which includes trapping of an aqueous fluid that unmixed from the restitic foid syenitic magma. Cogenetic aqueous and carbonic fluid inclusions reflect heterogeneous trapping of coexisting immiscible external fluids in the latest evolutionary stage. The O and C isotope characteristics of fluid-inclusion hosted CO(2) and late-stage carbonates imply that the surrounding limestones were the source of the external fluids. The mineral-rich syenitic rocks at Mont Saint-Hilaire evolved as follows: first, alkalis, high field strength and large ion lithophile elements were pre-enriched in the (late) magmatic and subsequent hydrothermal stages; second, percolation of external fluids in equilibrium with the carbonate host-rocks and mixing processes with internal fluids as well as fluid-rock interaction governed dissolution of pre-existing minerals, element transport and precipitation of mineral assemblages determined by locally variable parameters. It is this hydrothermal interplay between internal and external fluids that is responsible for the mineral wealth found at Mont Saint-Hilaire.

The wreck U Pezzo, excavated within the Saint Florent Gulf in northern Corsica was identified as the pink, Saint Etienne, a merchant ship which sank on January 31, 1769. In order to determine the composition of organic materials used to coat the hull or to waterproof different parts of the pink, a study of several samples, using molecular biomarker and carbon isotopic analysis, was initiated. The results revealed that the remarkable yellow coat, covering the outside planks of the ship's bottom under the water line, is composed of sulfur, tallow (of ox and not of cetacean origin) and black pitch which corresponds to a mixture called ``couroi'' or ``stuff'. Onboard ropes had been submitted to a tarring treatment with pitch. Hairs mixed with pitch were identified in samples collected between the two layers of the hull or under the sheathing planking. The study also provides a key model for weathering of pitch, as different degrees of degradation were found between the surface and the heart of several samples. Accordingly, molecular parameters for alteration were proposed. Furthermore novel mixed esters between terpenic and diterpenic alcohols and the free major fatty acids (C(14:0), C(16:0), C(18:0)) were detected in the yellow coat. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Quantitative approaches in ceramology are gaining ground in excavation reports, archaeological publications and thematic studies. Hence, a wide variety of methods are being used depending on the researchers' theoretical premise, the type of material which is examined, the context of discovery and the questions that are addressed. The round table that took place in Athens on November 2008 was intended to offer the participants the opportunity to present a selection of case studies on the basis of which methodological approaches were discussed.

Quantitative approaches in ceramology are gaining ground in excavation reports, archaeological publications and thematic studies. Hence, a wide variety of methods are being used depending on the researchers' theoretical premise, the type of material which is examined, the context of discovery and the questions that are addressed. The round table that took place in Athens on November 2008 was intended to offer the participants the opportunity to present a selection of case studies on the basis of which methodological approaches were discussed. The aim was to define a set of guidelines for quantification that would prove to be of use to all researchers. Contents: 1) Introduction (Samuel Verdan); 2) Isthmia and beyond.

Understanding the emplacement and growth of intrusive bodies in terms of mechanism, duration, ther¬mal evolution and rates are fundamental aspects of crustal evolution. Recent studies show that many plutons grow in several Ma by in situ accretion of discrete magma pulses, which constitute small-scale magmatic reservoirs. The residence time of magmas, and hence their capacities to interact and differentiate, are con¬trolled by the local thermal environment. The latter is highly dependant on 1) the emplacement depth, 2) the magmas and country rock composition, 3) the country rock thermal conductivity, 4) the rate of magma injection and 5) the geometry of the intrusion. In shallow level plutons, where magmas solidify quickly, evi¬dence for magma mixing and/or differentiation processes is considered by many authors to be inherited from deeper levels. This work shows however that in-situ differentiation and magma interactions occurred within basaltic and felsic sills at shallow depth (0.3 GPa) in the St-Jean-du-Doigt (SJDD) bimodal intrusion, France. This intrusion emplaced ca. 347 Ma ago (IDTIMS U/Pb on zircon) in the Precambrian crust of the Armori- can massif and preserves remarkable sill-like emplacement processes of bimodal mafic-felsic magmas. Field evidence coupled to high precision zircon U-Pb dating document progressive thermal maturation within the incrementally built ioppolith. Early m-thick mafic sills (eastern part) form the roof of the intrusion and are homogeneous and fine-grained with planar contacts with neighboring felsic sills; within a minimal 0.8 Ma time span, the system gets warmer (western part). Sills are emplaced by under-accretion under the old east¬ern part, interact and mingle. A striking feature of this younger, warmer part is in-situ differentiation of the mafic sills in the top 40 cm of the layer, which suggests liquids survival in the shallow crust. Rheological and thermal models were performed in order to determine the parameters required to allow this observed in- situ differentiation-accumulation processes. Strong constraints such as total emplacement durations (ca. 0.8 Ma, TIMS date) and pluton thickness (1.5 Km, gravity model) allow a quantitative estimation of the various parameters required (injection rates, incubation time,...). The results show that in-situ differentiation may be achieved in less than 10 years at such shallow depth, provided that: (1) The differentiating sills are injected beneath consolidated, yet still warm basalt sills, which act as low conductive insulating screens (eastern part formation in the SJDD intrusion). The latter are emplaced in a very short time (800 years) at high injection rate (0.5 m/y) in order to create a "hot zone" in the shallow crust (incubation time). This implies that nearly 1/3 of the pluton (400m) is emplaced by a subsequent and sustained magmatic activity occurring on a short time scale at the very beginning of the system. (2) Once incubation time is achieved, the calculations show that a small hot zone is created at the base of the sill pile, where new injections stay above their solidus T°C and may interact and differentiate. Extraction of differentiated residual liquids might eventually take place and mix with newly injected magma as documented in active syn-emplacement shear-zones within the "warm" part of the pluton. (3) Finally, the model show that in order to maintain a permanent hot zone at shallow level, injection rate must be of 0.03 m/y with injection of 5m thick basaltic sills eveiy 130yr, imply¬ing formation of a 15 km thick pluton. As this thickness is in contradiction with the one calculated for SJDD (1.5 Km) and exceed much the average thickness observed for many shallow level plutons, I infer that there is no permanent hot zone (or magma chambers) at such shallow level. I rather propose formation of small, ephemeral (10-15yr) reservoirs, which represent only small portions of the final size of the pluton. Thermal calculations show that, in the case of SJDD, 5m thick basaltic sills emplaced every 1500 y, allow formation of such ephemeral reservoirs. The latter are formed by several sills, which are in a mushy state and may interact and differentiate during a short time.The mineralogical, chemical and isotopic data presented in this study suggest a signature intermediate be¬tween E-MORB- and arc-like for the SJDD mafic sills and feeder dykes. The mantle source involved produced hydrated magmas and may be astenosphere modified by "arc-type" components, probably related to a sub¬ducting slab. Combined fluid mobile/immobile trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes suggest that such subduc¬tion components are mainly fluids derived from altered oceanic crust with minor effect from the subducted sediments. Close match between the SJDD compositions and BABB may point to a continental back-arc setting with little crustal contamination. If so, the SjDD intrusion is a major witness of an extensional tectonic regime during the Early-Carboniferous, linked to the subduction of the Rheno-Hercynian Ocean beneath the Variscan terranes. Also of interest is the unusual association of cogenetic (same isotopic compositions) K-feldspar A- type granite and albite-granite. A-type granites may form by magma mixing between the mafic magma and crustal melts. Alternatively, they might derive from the melting of a biotite-bearing quartz-feldspathic crustal protolith triggered by early mafic injections at low crustal levels. Albite-granite may form by plagioclase cu¬mulate remelting issued from A-type magma differentiation.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Information about outcomes in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) patients is unavailable. This study provides a detailed analysis of outcomes of a large ESUS population. METHODS: Data set was derived from the Athens Stroke Registry. ESUS was defined according to the Cryptogenic Stroke/ESUS International Working Group criteria. End points were mortality, stroke recurrence, functional outcome, and a composite cardiovascular end point comprising recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, aortic aneurysm rupture, systemic embolism, or sudden cardiac death. We performed Kaplan-Meier analyses to estimate cumulative probabilities of outcomes by stroke type and Cox-regression to investigate whether stroke type was outcome predictor. RESULTS: 2731 patients were followed-up for a mean of 30.5±24.1months. There were 73 (26.5%) deaths, 60 (21.8%) recurrences, and 78 (28.4%) composite cardiovascular end points in the 275 ESUS patients. The cumulative probability of survival in ESUS was 65.6% (95% confidence intervals [CI], 58.9%-72.2%), significantly higher compared with cardioembolic stroke (38.8%, 95% CI, 34.9%-42.7%). The cumulative probability of stroke recurrence in ESUS was 29.0% (95% CI, 22.3%-35.7%), similar to cardioembolic strokes (26.8%, 95% CI, 22.1%-31.5%), but significantly higher compared with all types of noncardioembolic stroke. One hundred seventy-two (62.5%) ESUS patients had favorable functional outcome compared with 280 (32.2%) in cardioembolic and 303 (60.9%) in large-artery atherosclerotic. ESUS patients had similar risk of composite cardiovascular end point as all other stroke types, with the exception of lacunar strokes, which had significantly lower risk (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.52-0.94]). CONCLUSIONS: Long-term mortality risk in ESUS is lower compared with cardioembolic strokes, despite similar rates of recurrence and composite cardiovascular end point. Recurrent stroke risk is higher in ESUS than in noncardioembolic strokes.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Prestroke Independence, Sex, Age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (ISAN) score was developed recently for predicting stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), one of the most common complications after stroke. The aim of the present study was to externally validate the ISAN score. METHODS: Data included in the Athens Stroke Registry between June 1992 and December 2011 were used for this analysis. Inclusion criteria were the availability of all ISAN score variables (prestroke independence, sex, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score). Receiver operating characteristic curves and linear regression analyses were used to determine the discriminatory power of the score and to assess the correlation between actual and predicted pneumonia in the study population. Separate analyses were performed for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). RESULTS: The analysis included 3204 patients (AIS: 2732, ICH: 472). The ISAN score demonstrated excellent discrimination in patients with AIS (area under the curve [AUC]: .83 [95% confidence interval {CI}: .81-.85]). In the ICH group, the score was less effective (AUC: .69 [95% CI: .63-.74]). Higher-risk groups of ISAN score were associated with an increased relative risk of SAP; risk increase was more prominent in the AIS population. Predicted pneumonia correlated very well with actual pneumonia (AIS group: R(2) = .885; β-coefficient = .941, P < .001; ICH group: R(2) = .880, β-coefficient = .938, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: In our external validation in the Athens Stroke Registry cohort, the ISAN score predicted SAP very accurately in AIS patients and demonstrated good discriminatory power in the ICH group. Further validation and assessment of clinical usefulness would strengthen the score's utility further.

P>The first Variscan pseudo-adakites were identified in close association with the Saint-Jean-du-Doigt (SJDD) mafic intrusion (Brittany, France) in a geodynamic context unrelated to subduction. These rocks are trondhjemites emplaced 347 +/- 4 Ma ago as 2-3 km2 bodies and dykes. Trace-element concentrations and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope ratios indicate that the SJDD pseudo-adakites probably resulted from extreme differentiation of an SJDD-type hydrous basaltic magma in a lower continental crust of normal thickness (0.8 GPa). Modelling shows that garnet is not a required phase, which was commonly believed to be the case for continental arc-derived adakite-like rocks. A massive fractionation of amphibole fits the data much better and does not require high pressures, in agreement with the inferred extensional tectonic regime at the time of pluton emplacement. Alternatively, the SJDD pseudo-adakites could have resulted from the melting of newly underplated SJDD mafic precursors, but thermal considerations lead us to believe that this was not the case.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with radiolabeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen antibodies after complete resection of liver metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer. Patients and Methods: Twenty-two patients planned for surgery of one to four LM received a preoperative diagnostic dose of a 131I-F(ab')2-labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen monoclonal antibody F6 (8-10 mCi/5 mg). 131I-F(ab')2 uptake was analyzed using direct radioactivity counting, and tumor-to-normal liver ratios were recorded. Ten patients with tumor-to-normal liver ratios of >5 and three others were treated with a therapeutic injection [180-200 mCi 131I/50 mg F(ab')2] 30 to 64 days after surgery. RESULTS: Median 131I-F(ab')2 immunoreactivity in patient serum remained at 91% of initial values for up to 96 hours after injection. The main and dose-limiting-toxicity was hematologic, with 92% and 85% grades 3 to 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, respectively. Complete spontaneous recovery occurred in all patients. No human anti-mouse antibody response was observed after the diagnosis dose; however, 10 of the 13 treated patients developed human anti-mouse antibody approximately 3 months later. Two treated patients presented extrahepatic metastases at the time of RIT (one bone and one abdominal node) and two relapsed within 3 months of RIT (one in the lung and the other in the liver). Two patients are still alive, and one of these is disease-free at 93 months after resection. At a median follow-up of 127 months, the median disease-free survival is 12 months and the median overall survival is 50 months. CONCLUSION: RIT is feasible in an adjuvant setting after complete resection of LM from colorectal cancer and should be considered for future trials, possibly in combination with chemotherapy, because of the generally poor prognosis of these patients.
