Burial and Memorial in Late Antiquity
Burial and Memorial explores funerary and commemorative archaeology, A.D. 284–650, across the late antique world. This first volume includes an overview of research, and papers exploring bioarchaeology, mortuary rituals, mausolea, and funerary landscapes. It considers the sacralisation of tombs, the movements of relics, and the political significance of cemeteries. The nature and fate of statue monuments is explored, as memorials to individuals. Authors also compare the destruction or preservation of tombs in relation to other buildings. Finally, the city itself is considered as a place of collective memory, where meanings were long maintained, via a study of spoliation.

Dal butto alla storia. Indagini archeologiche tra Medioevo e Postmedioevo. Atti del Convegno di Studi (Sciacca-Burgio-Ribera, 28-29 marzo 2011), a cura di Marco Milanese, Valentina Caminneci, Maria Concetta Parello, Maria Serena Rizzo Lo studio dei rifiuti delle città storiche, dei sistemi e delle pratiche di smaltimento oggi ha un valore che investe la storia ambientale e che non si limita più alle prospettive dello studio storico-documentario (Leggi, Statuti, Consuetudini, che stabiliscono l’opposto di quelli che erano i comportamenti più diffusi) e di quello archeologico. Le metodologie archeologiche si rapportano a butti, scarichi e rifiuti approfondendo quella chiave d’accesso pr...

A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, 2 Volume Set
A one-of-a-kind exploration of archaeological evidence from the Roman Empire between 44 BCE and 337 CE In A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, distinguished scholar and archaeologist Professor Barbara Burrell delivers an illuminating and wide-ranging discussion of peoples, institutions, and their material remains across the Roman Empire. Divided into two parts, the book begins by focusing on the “unifying factors,” institutions and processes that affected the entire empire. This ends with a chapter by Professor Greg Woolf, Ronald J. Mellor Professor of Ancient History at UCLA, which summarizes and enlarges upon the themes and contributions of the volume. Meanwhile, the sec...
Theatre and Autocracy in the Ancient World
Why did ancient autocrats patronise theatre? How could ancient theatre – rightly supposed to be an artform that developed and flourished under democracy – serve their needs? Plato claimed that poets of tragic drama "drag states into tyranny and democracy". The word order is very deliberate: he goes on to say that tragic poets are honoured "especially by the tyrants, and secondly by the democracies" (Republic 568c). For more than forty years scholars have explored the political, ideological, structural and economic links between democracy and theatre in ancient Greece. By contrast, the links between autocracy and theatre are virtually ignored, despite the fact that for the first 200 years...

THEAOMAI. Teatro e società in età ellenistica. Atti delle XI giornate gregoriane (Agrigento, 2-3 dicembre 2017)
Il volume raccoglie gli atti della undicesima edizione delle Giornate Gregoriane, organizzate dal Parco Archeologico e Paesaggistico della Valle dei Templi nel 2017, un anno dopo la felice scoperta del teatro antico di Agrigento. I contributi, suddivisi in sezioni tematiche, presentano alcuni casi studio che evidenziano, alla luce delle fonti storiche ed archeologiche, il ruolo dell’edificio teatrale, pensato non solo per lo spettacolo, ma anche come luogo di aggregazione sociale e spazio privilegiato per l’epifania del potere. Il titolo delle Giornate, Theaomai, riassume in modo pregnante l’esperienza contemplativa dell’andare a teatro, momento fondamentale della dimensione comunitaria e partecipata della vita della polis.
Technology, Crafting and Artisanal Networks in the Greek and Roman World
This volume aims to merge theoretical models with methodological approaches on ceramic technology and artisanal networks in the Classical world. This convergence of analytical frameworks allowed scholars to explore some traditional archaeological topics that usually have a very low-level of visibility, such as the skillful gestures of the craftspeople involved, the organization of the ceramic production, the dynamics of apprenticeship and knowledge transfer as well as intra and inter-regional artisanal mobility, in the Graeco-Roman ‘communities of practice’. The papers promote interdisciplinary dialogues among various fields of study, such as archaeology, archaeometry, anthropology, ethnoarchaeology, experimental archaeology, and digital humanities - such as Social Network Analysis, computational imaging, and big data analysis.
