This book was released on 2014 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mehr denn je ist altertumswissenschaftliche (archäologische und historische) Forschung auf interdisziplinäre und internationale Zusammenarbeit angewiesen, um Funde und Befunde angemessen bearbeiten, bewerten und einordnen zu können. Das gilt für sowohl für Funde, die bei Ausgrabungen, als auch bei solchen, die bei Surveys gewonnen werden. Dieser Band stellt auf der einen Seite die Ergebnisse aktueller Ausgrabungen in Magnesia am Mäander und Metropolis (Ionien) aus der Westtürkei vor, auf der anderen Seite beschäftigen sich Beiträge zugleich mit der angemessenen Präsentation und Einordnung der Befunde, indem neue geographische und geodätische Untersuchungsmethoden an diesen Orten vorgestellt sowie moderne Methoden der Archivierung und Präsentation in Datenbanken dargeboten werden. Es handelt sich dann um exemplarische Erörterungen, die paradigmatischen Wert über die konkreten Ortschaften hinaus haben und - wie die anderen Beiträge - bei einer internationalen Konferenz am 3.11.2012 in der Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg vorgestellt wurden."--

Book Synopsis The Impact of the Roman Empire on Landscapes by :
Download or read book The Impact of the Roman Empire on Landscapes written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the results of the fourteenth workshop of the international network 'Impact of Empire'. It focuses on the ways in which Rome's dominance influenced, changed, and created landscapes, and examines in which ways (Roman) landscapes were narrated and semantically represented. To assess the impact of Rome on landscapes, some of the twenty contributions in this volume analyse functions and implications of newly created infrastructure. Others focus on the consequences of colonisation processes, settlement structures, regional divisions, and legal qualifications of land. Lastly, some contributions consider written and pictorial representations and their effects. In doing so, the volume offers new insights into the notion of ‘Roman landscapes’ and examines their significance for the functioning of the Roman empire.
Book Synopsis Cityscapes and Monuments of Western Asia Minor by : Eva Mortensen
Download or read book Cityscapes and Monuments of Western Asia Minor written by Eva Mortensen and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cityscapes consist of houses, streets, civic buildings, sanctuaries, tombs, monuments, and inscriptions created by multiple generations of citizens and foreigners with an interest in the city; they are interpreted and reinterpreted as expressions of past lives, changing relations of power, memories, and various identities. The present volume publishes 25 contributions written by scholars specializing in the history and archaeology of western Asia Minor. New and well-known material – literary, epigraphical, numismatic, and archaeological – is presented and analyzed through the twin lenses of memory and identity. The contributions cover more than 1000 years of cultural diversity during changing political systems, from the Lydian and Persian hegemony in the Archaic period through Athenian supremacy and Persian satrapal rule in the Classical period, then autocratic kingship in Hellenistic times until, finally, more than half a millennium of Roman rule. Identities are voiced through several media and visible at many levels of the ancient societies. So are the places of memory – the Lieux de Mémoire – and the studies presented here provide new insights into how human beings chose, deliberately or subconsciously, to commemorate their past and their ancestors, and how identity was displayed and expressed under shifting political rule.

Book Synopsis Crossing Experiences in Digital Epigraphy by : Irene Rossi
Download or read book Crossing Experiences in Digital Epigraphy written by Irene Rossi and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a relevant number of projects digitizing inscriptions are under development or have been recently accomplished, Digital Epigraphy is not yet considered to be a proper discipline and there are still no regular occasions to meet and discuss. By collecting contributions on nineteen projects - very diversified for geographic and chronological context, for script and language, and for typology of digital output - this volume intends to point out the methodological issues which are specific to the application of information technologies to epigraphy. The first part of the volume is focused on data modelling and encoding, which are conditioned by the specific features of different scripts and languages, and deeply influence the possibility to perform searches on texts and the approach to the lexicographic study of such under-resourced languages. The second part of the volume is dedicated to the initiatives aimed at fostering aggregation, dissemination and the reuse of epigraphic materials, and to discuss issues of interoperability. The common theme of the volume is the relationship between the compliance with the theoretic tools and the methodologies developed by each different tradition of studies, and, on the other side, the necessity of adopting a common framework in order to produce commensurable and shareable results. The final question is whether the computational approach is changing the way epigraphy is studied, to the extent of renovating the discipline on the basis of new, unexplored questions.
Book Synopsis Human Landscapes in Classical Antiquity by : John Salmon
Download or read book Human Landscapes in Classical Antiquity written by John Salmon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Landscapes in Classical Antiquity shows how today's environmental and ecological concerns can help illuminate our study of the ancient world. The contributors consider how the Greeks and Romans perceived their natural world, and how their perceptions affected society. The effects of human settlement and cultivation on the landscape are considered, as well as the representation of landscape in Attic drama. Various aspects of farming, such as the use of terraces and the significance of olive growing are examined. The uncultivated landscape was also important: hunting was a key social ritual for Greek and hellenistic elites, and 'wild' places were not wastelands but played an essential economic role. The Romans' attempts to control their environment are analyzed. This volume shows how Greeks and Romans worked hand in hand with their natural environment and not against it. It represents an outstanding collaboration between the disciplines of history and archaeology.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology by : Umberto Albarella
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology written by Umberto Albarella and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals have played a fundamental role in shaping human history, and the study of their remains from archaeological sites - zooarchaeology - has gradually been emerging as a powerful discipline and crucible for forging an understanding of our past. The Oxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology offers a cutting-edge compendium of zooarchaeology the world over that transcends environmental, economic, and social approaches, seeking instead to provide a holistic view of the roles played by animals in past human cultures. Incisive chapters written by leading scholars in the field incorporate case studies from across five continents, from Iceland to New Zealand and from Japan to Egypt and Ecuador, providing a sense of the dynamism of the discipline, the many approaches and methods adopted by different schools and traditions, and an idea of the huge range of interactions that have occurred between people and animals throughout the world and its history. Adaptations of human-animal relationships in environments as varied as the Arctic, temperate forests, deserts, the tropics, and the sea are discussed, while studies of hunter-gatherers, farmers, herders, fishermen, and even traders and urban dwellers highlight the importance that animals have had in all forms of human societies. With an introduction that clearly contextualizes the current practice of zooarchaeology in relation to both its history and the challenges and opportunities that can be expected for the future, and a methodological glossary illuminating the way in which zooarchaeologists approach the study of their material, this Handbook will be invaluable not only for specialists in the field, but for anybody who has an interest in our past and the role that animals have played in forging it.
Book Synopsis Comparative Issues in the Archaeology of the Roman Rural Landscape by : P. A. J. Attema
Download or read book Comparative Issues in the Archaeology of the Roman Rural Landscape written by P. A. J. Attema and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats theoretical and methodological implications of the classification of archaeological sites of the Roman period in regional survey and archaeology, and the potential of classifications for making intra- and interregional comparisons and interpretations. Overall the papers testify to the importance of surface survey as an autonomous form of archaeological investigation with well-developed methodologies and analytical frameworks able to generate data that is just as complex as that derived from excavation, and with a similarly wide interpretative potential.

Book Synopsis Cetamura del Chianti by : Nancy Thomson de Grummond
Download or read book Cetamura del Chianti written by Nancy Thomson de Grummond and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding the study of Etruscan habitation sites to include not only traditional cities but also smaller Etruscan communities, Cetamura del Chianti examines a settlement that flourished during an exceptional time period, amid wars with the Romans in the fourth to first centuries BCE. Situated in an ideal hilltop location that was easy to defend and had access to fresh water, clay, and timber, the community never grew to the size of a city, and no known references to it survive in ancient writings; its ancient name isn’t even known. Because no cities were ever built on top of the site, excavation is unusually unimpeded. Intriguing features described in Cetamura del Chianti include an artisans’ zone with an adjoining sanctuary, which fostered the cult worship of Lur and Leinth, two relatively little known Etruscan deities, and undisturbed wells that reveal the cultural development and natural environment, including the vineyards and oak forests of Chianti, over a period of some six hundred years. Deeply enhancing our understanding of an intriguing economic, political, and cultural environment, this is a compelling portrait of a singular society.
