Finding the Limits of the Limes
This open access book demonstrates the application of simulation modelling and network analysis techniques in the field of Roman studies. It summarizes and discusses the results of a 5-year research project carried out by the editors that aimed to apply spatial dynamical modelling to reconstruct and understand the socio-economic development of the Dutch part of the Roman frontier (limes) zone, in particular the agrarian economy and the related development of settlement patterns and transport networks in the area. The project papers are accompanied by invited chapters presenting case studies and reflections from other parts of the Roman Empire focusing on the themes of subsistence economy, de...
Methods in Ancient Wine Archaeology
Bringing together a wide array of modern scientific techniques and interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides an accessible guide to the methods that form the current bedrock of research into Roman, and more broadly ancient, wine. Chapters are arranged into thematic sections, covering biomolecular archaeology and chemical analysis, archaeobotany and palynology, vineyard and landscape archaeology and computational and experimental archaeology. These include discussions of some of the most recent techniques, such as ancient DNA and organic residue analyses, geophysical prospection, multispectral imaging and spatial and climatic modelling. While most of the content is of direct relevance ...

The Resilience of the Roman Empire
The Resilience of the Roman Empire discusses the relationship between population and regional development in the Roman world from the perspective of archaeology. By adapting a comparative approach, the focus of the volume lies on exploring the various ways in which regional communities actively responded to population growth or decline in order to keep going on the land available to them. The starting point of the theoretical framework for the case studies is the agricultural intensification models developed by Thomas Malthus and Ester Boserup. In order to advance the debate on the validity of these models for identifying the societal and economic pathways of the Roman world, the contributor...
Arqueología y Téchne: Métodos formales, nuevos enfoques
Presents papers resulting from the EPNet project (Production and Distribution of Food during the Roman Empire: Economic and Political Dynamics) which aimed to investigate existing hypotheses about the Roman economy in order to understand which products were distributed through the different geographical regions of the empire, and in which periods.
El santuari ibèric de la cova de les Encantades del Montcabrer (Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona)
En aquest treball s'estudien les dades referents al santuari ibèric de la Cova de les Encantades del Montcabrer, que presenta un gran volum de material arqueològic. Cronològicament cal situar-lo entre els segles IV aC i II dC, com a lloc on es practicaven sobretot rituals d'ofrena i de comensalitat. Fins alguna resta permet afirmar que el lloc encara fou visitat esporàdicament amb finalitats cúltiques en la tardoantiguitat. L'anàlisi inclou l'estudi del material preibèric, datable majoritàriament en l’edat del bronze, que a priori no tindria a veure amb cap cerimonial religiós.
