The volumes of The Greek State at War are an essential
reference for the classical scholar. Professor Pritchett has
systematically canvassed ancient texts and secondary literature for
references to ...specific topics; each volume explores a unique aspect
of Greek military practice.
Portus, investigaciones geoarqueológicas en el muelle
este-oeste collects the scientific results of the
geoarchaeological project on the east-west pier of Portus (Rome)
developed within the framework ...of the Archaeological Projects
Abroad program of the Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte of the
Kingdom of Spain, and also under a collaboration agreement between
the University of Huelva and the Parco Archeologico di Ostia
Antica. Since 2017, without interruption until the present, various
excavation and study campaigns have focused their efforts on the
pier via an inter- and multidisciplinary methodology involving
archaeologists, geologists, palaeobotanists and palaeontologists.
Thus, excavation activities, geophysical prospecting, petrographic,
archaeometric studies and architectural analysis have been
developed, always with the application of new photogrammetric
techniques and laser scanning, which have allowed us to obtain a
significant volume of data. Its analysis and interpretation now
gives the most extensive and up-to-date picture of one of the most
interesting and extensive docks in Portus, with new contributions
related to its chronology, with a building phase from the fourth
century AD; its construction system, whose foundations have been
determined; the surrounding paleoenvironment, with new data related
to the silting process of the Claudio inlet; as well as the changes
that occured in the transition to the Early Middle Ages, among
others.
Este volumen recoge los resultados científicos del proyecto
geoarqueológico sobre el muelle este-oeste de Portus (Roma),
desarrollado en el marco del programa de Proyectos Arqueológicos en
el Exterior del Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte del Reino de
España, así como en el de un Convenio de colaboración específico
entre la Universidad de Huelva y el Parco Archeologico di Ostia
Antica. Desde el año 2017, sin interrupciones hasta el presente,
han sido diversas las campañas de excavación y estudio que han
centrado sus esfuerzos en dicho muelle, siempre con la aplicación
de una metodología inter y multidisciplinar en la que han
participado arqueólogos, geólogos, paleobotánicos y paleontólogos.
Desde este punto de vista se han desarrollado actividades de
excavación, prospección geofísica, estudios petrográficos,
arqueométricos, análisis paramental, siempre con la aplicación de
nuevas técnicas fotogramétricas y escaneado láser, que han
permitido obtener un importante volumen de datos. El análisis e
interpretación de los mismos, suponen, a día de hoy, el
conocimiento más amplio y actualizado de uno de los muelles más
interesantes y extensos de Portus , con novedosas
aportaciones relativas a su cronología, con una fase edilicia del
s. III d.C., su sistema constructivo del cual se ha precisado su
cimentación, el paleoambiente circundante, con nuevos datos
relativos al proceso de colmatación de la ensenada de Claudio, así
como su diacronía en el tránsito hacia el Altomedievo, entre
otros.
The Troodos Mountain range in central Cyprus is a region of great physical and cultural diversity. The landscapes range from fertile, cultivated plains to narrow, dry valleys and forested mountain ...regions and this physical topography is overlain by a rich human cultural landscape of farming, mining, industry, settlement, burial and ritual behaviour. Over six field seasons, a team of specialists and fieldwalkers from the Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project (TAESP) investigated the northern edge of this region and explored the complex and dynamic relationship between landscape and people over 12,000 years. The results of their integrated and interpretative approach are presented here, in the first of two volumes. Beginning with a considered overview of the context, research aims and methodology of the project, Volume 1 provides detailed accounts of the archaeology, material culture, geography and environmental record of the entire survey area. This wealth of information is then bought together to produce a series of chronological and thematic analyses of the interaction between people and landscape in this region of Cyprus from the Prehistoric through to the Modern period.
This is an updated and revised second edition of a handbook originally prepared for the XVIIIth International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies in Amman, Jordan in 2000 - a reflection of the growing ...importance of Roman studies in Jordan in recent years. In Part A, there are chapters on geography and environment, the Romans in Jordan and the Roman army there. In Part B there are 15 chapters surveying, region by region, the evidence for forts, towers, roads, literary texts, inscriptions and excavation around the entire country, ending with a chapter on the immediately adjacent parts of Roman Arabia that now lie in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel. The book is profusely illustrated throughout and has many aerial views including 20 full-page photographs in colour.
The TAESP Landscape, the second of two volumes, presents an area-by-area analysis of the fieldwork and research undertaken by the Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project (TAESP) in ...the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus. Covering four regions of the survey area (The Plains, Karkotis Valley, Upper Lagoudhera Valley and The Mountains) the volume focuses on explicit research questions appropriate to each region. Organised geographically, chronologically and thematically, each region is investigated from the Neolithic to the present day and, through ‘Intensive Survey Zones’ – selected to give a representative range of the physical and cultural terrain – many notable new discoveries are made. These include the pattern of Bronze Age Settlement in the Plains, Archaic rural sanctuaries and cemeteries, the scope of Late Roman copper-mining and isolated Medieval mountain settlements. The TAESP Landscape provides a fully integrated and data-rich analysis of the material from a wide range of contrasting archaeological perspectives. Taken together, these wide-ranging and interdisciplinary perspectives give a nuanced and sensitive approach to a strikingly multi-faceted landscape.
Gabii through its Artefacts brings together 15 papers
written by as many scholars on objects from the excavations of the
town of Gabii undertaken by three different international teams
since 2007: ...The Gabii Project, which is a primarily US-based group
of scholars; a team from the Musée du Louvre; and a team from the
University of Rome "Tor Vergata" collaborating with the
Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma. The
contributions aim to consider artefacts outside the ceramic report
and small finds catalogue format in terms of both the wide variety
of materials and the possibilities for unique individual stories.
Objects ranging from the pre-Roman to Imperial periods are examined
using a mix of approaches, making an effort to be sensitive to
excavation context and formation processes. Approaches include
archaeometric, spatial, and statistical analyses, artefact life
history approaches, and archival approaches. Thus, different scales
of analysis are also undertaken: in some cases individual objects
are focused on, in others whole classes or assemblages. The papers
ultimately share the common goal of offering new stories about the
inhabitants of Gabii told through their artefacts. Together they
enliven the Gabines' behaviours: their concerns about personal and
economic security and status, their productive activities and trade
connections to other towns, their aesthetic and ritual concerns,
their political affiliations and aspirations.
