The Pontos and its Empire of Trebizond (1204-1461) embraced the distinctive Black Sea coastlands, mountains and pastures of northeastern Anatolia. "The purpose of this Study is twofold. First, it is an essay in placing the material remains of the medieval peoples of a distinct region of Anatolia, the Pontos, in their historical and geographical setting. Second, it is a record all too often of what can no longer be recorded. In the two decades since Anthony Bryer (A.A.M.B.) and David Winfield (D.C.W.) first met in the east porch of the Hagia Sophia, Trebizond, on 19 August 1959, the Pontos has suffered a greater physical transformation than in its entire previous history."

Contains list of figures, abbreviations and an extensive bibliography at front, appendix with measurements and indices at rear.
