‎Painted Tetrarchic Reliefs of Nicomedia. Uncovering the Colourful Life of Diocletian's Forgotten Capital‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, xx + 200 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:7 b/w, 255 col., 1 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Turkish. *new ISBN 9782503594781.‎

‎Summary This ground-breaking volume offers the first publication of a major new monument of Roman power in Asia Minor: sixty-six painted marble frieze panels from the city of Nicomedia with an excellent archaeological and architectural context from the Tetrarchic period. During the rule of Diocletian, Nicomedia was the centre of the Late Roman Empire in the east, and the reliefs of the frieze, which decorate an imperial complex built at this time, represent an astonishing combination of imperial, mythological, and agonistic scenes. The reliefs found in Nicomedia fill an important gap in our knowledge between the Severan and Constantinian periods, and provide the East Roman Empire with a defining monument that can be set beside ? and in striking counterpoint to ? the Arch of Constantine in Rome. Published here in full colour and fully documented, the Nicomedia Frieze is, in this hugely important scholarly monograph, brought to the public for the very first time.

‎Summary The Bayuda, although an arid desert located in modern-day Sudan, has nonetheless been inhabited, farmed, worshipped in, and fought over by humans from the Palaeolithic onwards. Yet despite the longevity of its human occupation, the region has only in recent years become the focus of more intensive scholarly research. This volume, the first in a series dedicated to exploring the archaeology and history of Northeast Africa, aims to build on this trend by drawing together the very latest archaeological research and data, and shedding light on how the Bayuda Desert and its environs were transformed into a cultural landscape. The contributions gathered here introduce, examine, and (re)assess a number of important issues, many of which are new in the archaeology of Nubia, as well as considering them against a broader comparative background. From climate change over the past millennia - and its far-reaching consequences in the present - through to an examination of the cultural influences of the Kingdom of Kerma, and from analysis of funeral rites through to interpretations of rock art, forgotten trade routes, and the commerce in cattle and slaves, this insightful volume offers a wealth of new information into the history of ancient Nubia.

‎Material Exchanges in Medieval and Early Modern Europe. Archaeological Perspectives‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 264 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:26 b/w, 17 col., 2 tables b/w., 15 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503593999.‎

‎Summary The study of the movement of 'things' - the exchange of objects as gifts or through trade, the itineraries that they followed when on the move, and their changing importance from location to location - can offer unique insights into our understanding of past societies; and archaeology plays a vital role in allowing such movements to be traced. Nonetheless the circulation of objects across time, and between peoples and places, has long been neglected as a field of research in its own right. This volume aims to address this gap in scholarship by drawing on recent archaeological research to provide a detailed study of the moment of objects across Europe in the late medieval and early modern period. The contributions gathered here trace the interactions between peoples, ideas, and objects in order to explore the impact of movement both on the material things themselves, and on the people who manufactured, exchanged, or used such goods. The volume draws on a wide range of archaeological evidence to explore subjects as varied as production and transport, modes of trade, the connections between trade and religion, and the emotional connections between things and people. Together, they offer a pioneering approach to our understanding of objects and their movement in the past. TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Illustrations Introduction - SERGIO ESCRIBANO-RUIZ, MAGDALENA E.

‎Hellenistic Sealings & Archives. Proceedings of The Edfu Connection, an international conference‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, xxxvi + 260 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:367 b/w, 8 col., 9 tables b/w., 8 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503591278.‎

‎Summary Ancient seal impressions that were once employed to seal a variety of objects, in particular different kinds of documents, can offer a wealth of information not only about iconography, but also about the dissemination of ideas and beliefs. Their usage provides evidence about the continuation, transformation, and mutual influences that impacted upon local traditions, as well as shed light on administrative and bureaucratic practices. Drawing together in-depth contributions by specialists in the field, this timely volume - the first of its kind in twenty-five years - offers new insights into seals and their importance during the relatively understudied Hellenistic period (c. 325-25 BCE), as well as contextualizing this subject through a focus on related fields such as glyptics and numismatics. The twelve chapters included here explore the importance of hoards, among them those from Delos, Doliche, Edfu, Kedesh, Pistiros, Seleucia-on-the-Tigris, Selinunte, and Uruk, and examine themes that range from the persistence of pharaonic imagery on Ptolemaic sealings and Greek influence on Sicilian seals, to the survival of Mesopotamian traditions on Parthian clay tablets and the use of Hellenistic iconography on Bactrian finger rings. Through this multifaceted approach, this volume is able to elucidate the daily realities of social, public, and private archival practices that went beyond the political and elite levels of life, and to illuminate aspects of Hellenistic history that have long remained obscure or inaccessible.

‎Summary Archaeological periodization schemes of material culture development in Northern Mesopotamia from 7th to 5th centuries BCE traditionally refer to the sequence of dynasties. In particular, they highlight historical events related to distinguished members of the royal houses of the Sargonids, Urartians, Medes, Teispids, and Achaemenids. However, whereas the repercussions these Iron Age empires had on the history of the Near East are undeniable, the impact they had on the material culture and its development is not always equally tangible in the archaeological findings. The latter are not infrequently characterized by continuity rather than by incisive changes, as recent studies and re-evaluations of key sites in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia show. This publication uses case studies to address problems that arises when the archaeological (relative concept) and historical (absolute concept) methodology use different intrinsic values of time to reconstruct history and to understand cultural material development. Archäologische Periodisierungsschemata der materiellen Kulturentwicklung Nordmesopotamiens in der Zeit vom 7. bis 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. orientieren sich traditionell an historische Zäsuren, die mit der Abfolge von Herrschaftsdynastien wie den Sargoniden, Urartäern, Medern, Teispiden und Achämeniden verbunden sind. Gleichwohl die Bedeutung dieser eisenzeitlichen Herrscherhäuser auf die politische Geschichte Vorderasiens unbestreitbar ist, ist ihr Einfluss auf die materielle Kulturentwicklung nicht im gleichen Maße bestimmbar. Letztere ist nämlich öfter durch Kontinuität als durch einschneidende Veränderungen geprägt, wie rezente Untersuchungen und Neubewertungen wichtiger archäologischer Befunde in Syrien, Irak, Iran und Armenien aufgezeigt haben. Der vorliegende Band weist anhand von Fallbeispielen auf die Problematik hin, die bei abweichenden Bedeutungszuweisungen der Dimension Zeit in archäologischen (relatives Konzept) und historischen (absolutes Konzept) Betrachtungsweisen für die Rekonstruktion der Geschichte und der Entwicklung der materiellen Kultur auftreten können.

‎Summary When the Danish archaeologist Harald Ingholt conducted his ground-breaking excavations of Palmyra in the 1920s and 1930s, during which time he investigated several grave monuments and carried out the first observations of Palmyra's famous funerary portraits, he kept detailed diaries of his work. For a long time, these have been stored at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen together with the extensive Ingholt Archive, while further photographs and notes on Palmyrene sculpture have been kept with Ingholt's family in the United States. Now this material and Ingholt's diaries, written primarily in Danish, have for the first time been transcribed and translated into English with a full commentary written by Professor Rubina Raja, Dr Julia Steding, and Dr Jean-Baptiste Yon, in order to make these unique texts available to a wider public. The diaries contain a wealth of information on Palmyrene sculpture, grave complexes, and inscriptions from the city, as well as offering previously unpublished details into Ingholt's excavations, and his time in the field that will provide essential new insights for scholars working on Palmyra.

‎Summary The Decapolis city of Jerash has long attracted attention from travellers and scholars, due both to the longevity of the site and the remarkable finds uncovered during successive phases of excavation that have taken place from 1902 onwards. Between 2011 and 2016, a Danish-German team, led by the universities of Aarhus and Münster, focused their attention on the Northwest Quarter of Jerash - the highest point within the walled city - and this volume is the third in a series of books presenting the team's final results. The contributions gathered together in this volume provide an in-depth analysis of the glass finds, the lamps, and the iconography of the Jerash bowls discovered in the Northwest Quarter during the excavations. Together, these chapters provide both general overviews and more detailed insights into these important groups of material evidence, and also examine their stratigraphic contextualization and chronological spread across the centuries.

‎Summary The Santa Maria Antiqua Complex in the Forum in Rome was probably established at the foot of the Palatine Hill in the 6th century. Over the following 600 years it was decorated with a unique series of frescoes bearing evidence of imperial, papal and monastic influences. Abandoned in the 9th century, limited use probably continued up to the 11th century. By the 17th century the complex was completely buried under the rising floor of the Forum. Excavations in 1900 exposed a largely intact complex containing hundreds of 6th - 11th century frescoes, in some places over four layers deep and a unique Chapel of Medical Saints which suggests this was also an incubation site. The English Press hailed the site as the 'Sistine Chapel of the Ninth century'. Lavish illustrations of these frescoes, following recent restoration, make this book an indispensible resource, not only for those working on the church but also for those interested in contemporaneous material in medieval sites especially in Rome, Europe and Byzantium. This monograph contains the proceedings of an International Conference held at the British School at Rome on 4-6 December, 2013. It reports results of the major project of preservation and research led by the Soprintendenza and carried out over the last 12 years on the fabric of the church, its frescoes, floor, wall and ceiling mosaics, its drainage and infrastructure. Much of the restoration was funded by the World Monuments Fund. The conference also marked the 75th anniversary of the death of Gordon Rushforth, the first Director of the British School at Rome and the author of one of the earliest key papers on the S. Maria Antiqua site.

‎Summary This fourth volume in a collection based on the biennial interdisciplinary meetings held in Kültepe, ancient Kane?, draws together sixteen contributions that explore the archaeology and history of this site, with the ongoing aim of taking a holistic approach to revitalizing this important early Anatolian cultural centre. The papers gathered here present both current research and recent important results derived from research in Kültepe and its wider surroundings through four key thematic strands: cultural exchanges between this site and its environs; material culture; sealings, writings, and history; comparisons with other sites across Central Anatolia. Through this approach, this volume is able to explore not only the historical importance of Kültepe, but also to highlight the settlement's future importance as a pilot site for interdisciplinary studies, thanks to its unique textual and archaeological data.

‎Summary This volume, the first in a new series dedicated to the archaeological and historical landscapes of central Mediterranean Italy, aims to offer a fresh and dynamic new approach to our understanding of central-southern maritime Tuscany during the Roman period. Drawing on research that was initially presented at the first International Mediterranean Tuscan Conference (MediTo) held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2018, and supported by invited papers from other experts in the field, this collection of essays offers the most up-to-date research into Roman and Late Antique landscapes within Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context, as well as the political, economic, and social networks that developed in this area during the Classical Period. Ultimately, what emerges from this in-depth study of river valleys, urban centres, and coastal settlements is an understanding of a dynamic Roman territory of cities and villages, villas and sanctuaries, minor sites, and manufacturing districts in which the local population fought to establish and maintain connections with the wider Mediterranean.

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, vi + 780 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN 9781909400870.‎

‎Summary To what extent are the dead truly dead? In medieval society, corpses were assigned special functions and meanings in several different ways. They were still present in the daily life of the family of the deceased, and could even play active roles in the life of the community. Taking the materiality of death as a point of departure, this book comprehensively examines the conservation, burial and destruction of the corpse in its specific historical context. A complex and ambivalent treatment of the dead body emerges, one which necessarily confronts established modern perspectives on death. New scientific methods have enabled archaeologists to understand the remains of the dead as valuable source material. This book contextualizes the resulting insights for the first time in an interdisciplinary framework, considering their place in the broader picture drawn by the written sources of this period, ranging from canon law and hagiography to medieval literature and historiography. It soon becomes obvious that the dead body is more than a physical object, since its existence only becomes relevant in the cultural setting it is perceived in. In analogy to the findings for the living body in gender studies, the corpse too, can best be understood as constructed. Ultimately, the dead body is shaped by society, i.e. the living. This book examines the mechanisms by which this cultural construction of the body took place in medieval Europe. The result is a fascinating story that leads deep into medieval theories and social practices, into the discourses of the time and the daily life experiences during this epoch.

‎Late Antique Metalware. The Production of Copper-Alloy Vessels between the 4th and 8th Centuries. The Benaki Museum Collection and Related Material‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 410 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:250 col., 5 tables b/w., Languages: English, Greek, French. ISBN 9782503569413.‎

‎Summary The book examines the fourth- to eighth-century copper alloy wares in the Benaki Museum, using them as the basis on which a wider debate about the production, circulation and use of copper vessels in Late Antiquity can be built. It is an attempt at a holistic approach to this rich but as yet little studied material. Apart from the necessary typology and dating, the study also includes systematic discussion of questions regarding the alloys used in the manufacture of the copperwares and the techniques employed in their production and decoration. The study of primary sources provided evidence about the late Roman and Medieval Greek terminology associated with each group of objects, as well as interesting information about the distribution of various types of vessels, the context in which they were used and the value their owners placed on them, while also containing useful references to the coppersmiths themselves. Most of the Benaki copperwares were acquired on the Egyptian market and can be connected with the rich local production in the Late Roman and Early Islamic period. Yet the study of these artefacts showed that they have striking similarities with a wide range of archaeological material discovered over an extremely large geographical area, from the Eastern Mediterranean to Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK. The geographical spread of copper alloy wares that follow a parallel development in different parts of the empire and also appear almost contemporaneously in Western European burials reignites the debate on the production centres and subsequent modes of distribution of these artefacts. In turn these issues touch on the long-standing debate on the so-called 'Coptic bronzes' and the actual role of Egypt in the overall production of and trade in these articles in Late Antiquity.

‎Summary All of the contributions in this book are original scientific papers and all of them are dealing with problems not yet resolved in disciplines of history, arthistory and archaeology of mostly Late Antique and Medieval periods, but later ones as well. All of the papers also deal with problematics that are connected to the territory of today's Croatia or its neighbouring regions in European context, which is why they are especially relevant for the Croatian national scientific community and its development. Therefore, the scientific impact of this book will be huge bearing in mind that all the authors did it for celebrating professor Jak?i?'s character and deeds.

‎Summary The opening of the borders of Albania in the 1990s stimulated an increased interest in its cultural heritage and led to extensive research, as well as archaeological investigations. These, however, have mainly concentrated within Albania's present-day borders and have lacked broader contextualization. Very recent excavations in Greece, which resulted from the construction of the new Ionia Odos highway, have, however brought to light unexpected and interesting material that changes our image of the monumental topography and the settlements in Epirus. New studies concerning Epirus and its broader connections during the early and later Ottoman periods provide a broader impression of the region and its relationships with the large economic centres of the West, as well as with the spiritual-religious and political centres of the Balkans.

‎Summary Was geschah in der Stadt Rom mit den republikanischen Tempelbauten während der Kaiserzeit? Wie wurden diese (noch) genutzt? Welchen baulichen Veränderungen unterlagen sie? Neue Akteure, veränderte Machtverhältnisse, eine ganze Stadt im Wandel, zunehmend begrenzter Raum, wegfallende Sichtachsen, letztendlich aber auch neue Kulte sowie neue Formen von Kultbauten und -praktiken bestimmen den Rahmen, vor dem auch das Fortbestehen der bereits in republikanischer Zeit vorhandenen Heiligtümer betrachtet werden muss. Dabei zeichnet sich ein Bild ihrer Nutzungsweisen und Funktionen, das kaum heterogener sein könnte, sich bei näherer Betrachtung jedoch sinnvoll zu einem Ganzen verbindet. Geprägt von Pragmatismus und dem Repräsentationswillen verschiedener Akteure spiegelt sich im unterschiedlichen Umgang mit den Heiligtümern die räumliche und funktionale Segmentierung der kaiserzeitlichen Stadt eindrucksvoll wider. Dabei steht weit mehr als die Rekonstruktion der bisher häufig vernachlässigten kaiserzeitlichen Phasen ausgewählter Heiligtümer im Vordergrund. Es sind die Einbettung der Architekturen und Räume dieser Stätten in das urbane Umfeld, die Konzeption städtischen Raumes und insbesondere auch die Frage, welche Rolle den ?alten' Kulten in einer ?neuen' Stadt beigemessen wurde, die das Augenmerk dieses Buches bilden.

‎Summary The site of Lori Berd, located in northern Armenia, is home to an extraordinary necropolis that once housed the dead of the local elite during a period that spanned from 2200 to 400 BC. Influenced both by Urartian conquests from the south and by invasions from the Eurasian nomadic tribes from the north, the people of this region buried their dead with prestigious artefacts, complex customs, and a particular reverence shown during the later stages of the Early and Middle Iron Ages (1000-550 BC). This volume offers a detailed account of the archaeological significance of the site, providing detailed accounts of thirty-one tombs, the majority of which have never before been comprehensively published, and seeking to set Lori Berd in its broader historical and material context. Through this approach, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Iron Age in the South Caucasus, unravelling the interconnected themes of wealth, power, and cultural expressions.

‎Hellenistic and Roman Gerasa. The Archaeology and History of a Decapolis City‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xviii + 390 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:196 b/w, 21 col., 31 tables b/w., Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503585048.‎

‎Summary The Graeco-Roman Decapolis city of Gerasa was a flourishing centre of population from the Late Hellenistic up to the Early Islamic period. It was also home to a vibrant ceramics industry. Kilns found throughout the city, with a concentration in the Hippodrome, suggest that Gerasa was in fact a mass-production centre in the Decapolis region over a number of centuries, manufacturing a vast array of material to suit the changing needs of daily life. Drawing on finds yielded during excavations by the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project and other archaeological projects, as well as the research undertaken within the Ceramics in Context project, this volume evaluates the pottery from Gerasa produced in the Late Hellenistic and Roman periods. Typology, development over time, and variations in the Gerasene pottery are explored, and rare examples of imported material are analysed in order to shed light both on the inner workings of the city, and on the networks that extended beyond Gerasa's walls. The contributions gathered here examine the archaeology and history of Gerasa and assess ceramic remains alongside other finds from both the city and neighbouring urban centres. In doing so, they seek to contextualize this material in a broader cultural and historical context, and to improve our understanding of consumption, trading, and networks in the wider Decapolis area.

‎Summary This volume corresponds to the acts of a conference that closes the international interdisciplinary research project Badiyah, directed by Corinne Castel and Jan-Waalke Meyer (Directors of the Tell Al-Rawda and Tell Chuera archaeological missions). Both sites illustrate the importance of the 3rd millennium BCE 'circular cities' discovered in today's Syria. These pre-planned cities were fortified and organized following a concentric and radial urban pattern. They represent a particular form of the endogenous process of urbanization that appeared in this region when the first cities and territorial states emerged. The main results obtained from these two sites are compared to other Syrian 'circular cities' of the Early Bronze Age. Twenty-nine contributions enable us to reassess the process of urbanization in the Near East and to question the Southern Mesopotamian model as the unique cradle of urban civilization.

‎Integrative Approaches to the Archaeology and History of Kültepe-Kanes. Kültepe, 4-7 August 2017. KIM 3 (Kültepe International Meetings 3)‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xx + 258 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:173 b/w, 12 col., 20 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585598.‎

‎Summary The 3rd Kültepe International Meeting aimed at exploring multidisciplinary approaches to the archaeology and history of complex urban sites using Kültepe-Kanesh as a case study. As a result, the conference proceedings involve a wide variety of disciplines: archaeology, ceramics, paleobotany, paleoecology, palynology, archaeometallurgy, geo- and archaeo-magnetism, art history, philology, history, computer science, and last but not least, videogame design. Indeed, the aim of the Kültepe International Meetings (KIM) is to facilitate the dialogue between these different disciplines and to combine their data in order to build an accurate view of Kültepe and its environment. The 3rd KIM more than fulfilled this goal, demonstrating once again how Kültepe functions as an international experimental laboratory in which disciplines and sub-disciplines can be tested, improved, and developed. All the contributions presented here provide a good overview of the ongoing multidisciplinary studies being carried out at Kültepe and Central Anatolia.

‎Summary À l'occasion des soixante-dix ans de François de Polignac, nous sommes réunis autour de ce projet d'édition pour développer des sujets de recherche inspirés de ses publications et de son enseignement à l'École pratique des hautes études. Ce volume prend la forme non pas de mélanges mais d'essais sur des thématiques autour de l'Antiquité grecque, de la structuration de l'espace et des constructions identitaires, combinant des sources archéologiques et textuelles, et propose une réflexion dans le temps et l'espace. Nous voulons ainsi montrer, par des cas d'étude, comment François de Polignac a su aborder les civilisations antiques par une vision aussi précise que large, en intégrant les données sur la longue durée et en évitant d'adopter un modèle interprétatif uniforme dans le processus de la rédaction historique. L'aspect comparatiste s'est révélé important entre des régions et des époques différentes, du monde gréco-romain jusqu'à la Mésopotamie et la Chine. Une partie des textes est consacrée au commentaire de ses travaux dans le but d'expliquer comment ceux-ci nous inspirent et ouvrent des perspectives à d'autres réflexions et recherches.

‎« Academica Libertas » Essais en l'honneur du professeur Javier Arce - Ensayos en honor del profesor Javier Arce‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 383 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Languages: French, Spanish, English. ISBN 9782503584492.‎

‎Summary Successively Research Professor at the Instituto Español de Arqueología of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, director of the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma, Visiting Professor of Roman archaeology at the Université Marc Bloch of Strasbourg, then Full Professor in the same field at the Université Charles-de-Gaulle de Lille, Javier Arce has had a truly international career. This openness to the world, which is a fundamental feature of his professional career - as evidenced by the number of living languages he speaks - he has cultivated since his doctoral studies. His studies have taken him not only into many academic and research institutions in Rome (where he knows everyone and everyone knows him), but also into several other high places of historical knowledge, especially a number of British universities. Archaeologist, historian, philologist, Javier Arce is a "total" Romanist, in the sense that his field of competence is nothing less than the entire Roman period, hence the scope of the topics treated in the three chapters of this volume (Classical Antiquity - Hispania - Late Antiquity). Although he admires Greek and Roman Antiquity, he has mainly developed his research in the field of Late Antiquity, for which he is now known worldwide. He is at times a specialist in imperial history and archaeology of the 4th and 5th centuries, both in the West and in the East, with a more pronounced taste for the figures of Constantius II, Julian and Theodosius I, for the imperial ceremonial and for the residences of the emperors; and again a specialist of Late Roman and Visigothic Spain, therefore of the transition to the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula, until the Arab invasion. His peregrinations, which have taken him to North America, including the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, as well as to occupy the presidency of the International Association of Classical Archaeology, have, however, never completely diverted him from his native Spain, to which is dedicated here a complete chapter, because it has occupied such a central place in his career. We have just once to hear him speaking of Mérida or to note the number of publications that he devoted to it to become aware of this. It is to thank him for sharing with so many people his passion for Antiquity, but also to celebrate his emeritus status, that his students, colleagues and friends offer him this Festschrift. Successivement professeur de recherche à l'Instituto Español de Arqueología du Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, directeur de l'Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma, professeur associé d'archéologie romaine à l'Université Marc Bloch de Strasbourg, puis professeur ordinaire dans la même matière à l'Université Charles-de-Gaulle de Lille, Javier Arce a eu une carrière véritablement internationale. Cette ouverture sur le monde, qui est un trait caractéristique fondamental de son cursus professionnel - dont témoigne le nombre de langues vivantes qu'il parle -, il l'a cultivée depuis ses études doctorales, qui l'ont mené non seulement dans plusieurs institutions académiques et de recherche de Rome (où il connaît tout le monde et tout le monde le connaît), mais aussi en plusieurs autres hauts-lieux du savoir historique, particulièrement dans certaines universités britanniques. Archéologue, historien, philologue, Javier Arce est un romaniste « total », en ce sens que son domaine de compétence n'est rien de moins que l'intégralité de la période romaine, d'où l'étendue des sujets traités dans les trois chapitres du présent volume (Antiquité classique - Hispania - Antiquité tardive). S'il voue une véritable admiration à la haute Antiquité grecque et romaine, il a toutefois surtout développé ses travaux de recherche dans le domaine de l'Antiquité tardive, ce pour quoi il est aujourd'hui mondialement connu. Il est tantôt spécialiste d'histoire et d'archéologie impériales des IVe et Ve siècles, en Occident comme en Orient, avec un goût plus prononcé pour les figures de Constance II, Julien et Théodose Ier, pour le cérémoniel impérial et pour les résidences des empereurs ; tantôt spécialiste de l'Espagne tardo-romaine et wisigothique, donc de la transition vers le Moyen Âge dans la péninsule ibérique, jusqu'à l'invasion arabe. Ses pérégrinations, qui l'ont mené jusqu'en Amérique du Nord, notamment à l'Institute for Advanced Study de Princeton, et jusqu'à occuper la présidence de l'Association internationale d'archéologie classique, ne l'ont cependant jamais totalement détourné de son Espagne natale, à laquelle est dédié ici un chapitre complet, tant celle-ci a occupé une place centrale dans sa carrière. Il suffit de l'entendre une seule fois parler de Mérida ou de constater le nombre de publications qu'il lui a consacrées pour le comprendre. C'est pour le remercier d'avoir communiqué à tant de gens sa passion de l'Antiquité, mais aussi pour célébrer son éméritat, que ses élèves, collègues et amis lui offrent ces mélanges.

‎After the Harvest. Storage Practices and Food Processing in Bronze Age Mesopotamia‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xii + 146 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:53 b/w, 14 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503583785.‎

‎Summary The reliance on grain and grain products is a key feature of many past societies, and this is particularly true of the Ancient Near East. The necessity of storing and processing foodstuffs encompassed political and social boundaries: food shaped identities and it was not by chance that, for the Mesopotamian mindset, civilization started with the consumption of bread and beer. At any managerial level, storage practices and food processing reflect the economic organization of a society, its control mechanisms, and its interdependent social structures. This volume includes eight papers by scholars of the Ancient Near East, who draw on a wide range of sources and methodologies, from (bio-)archaeological evidence to cuneiform texts, in order to explore what actually happened after the harvest in the shared horizon of Bronze Age Mesopotamia. The different case-studies gathered together here examine the impact of continuity - and crucially, of change - in the technical, economic, and social solutions that were adopted by people in response to the common needs of everyday life. This volume represents a dialogue between different perspectives and disciplines that simultaneously opens up new paths of research, at the same time as seeking to narrow the gaps in our understanding of this subject.
