Abstract

Warfare and city sieges provoked fire-beacon signaling, with intervisibility of settlements and watchtowers attesting to the importance of warnings. I After Dark i delivers a diverse contrast of ancient centers in which only fires, torches, or oil/resin lamps countered darkness. Modern technology illuminates cities, to the point that the biological cues of many species are disrupted (see, e.g., Eklöf, [1]). [Extracted from the article]
