‎Sarazm: A Site along the Proto-Silk Road at the Intersection of the Steppe and Oasis Cultures. Results from Excavation VII‎

‎, Brepols - 2023, 2024 Paperback, xxvi + 258 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 181 col., 74 tables b/w., 8 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602943.‎

‎Summary Sarazm, in modern-day Tajikistan, is rightly famous as an archaeological site. A Chalcolithic and Bronze Age settlement, it formed part of a cultural and economic network that stretched from the steppe of Central Asia across to the Iranian Plateau and the Indus. Between 1984 and 1994, fieldwork led by a joint Tajik-French project took place at Excavation VII, yielding unique archaeological contexts and materials that shed light on Sarazm's multicultural nature, its evolution through time, and the varied activities that took place at the site. Now, in this new volume, the first comprehensive description and analysis of all available data from Excavation VII is presented, and the data from this excavation contextualized both at site level and within the broader setting of the Steppe and Oasis cultures of the IVth and IIIrd millennia BCE. The author offers functional, cultural, and chronological conclusions about the exposed occupations, as well as putting forward new interpretations and hypotheses on this important settlement.‎

‎Summary This volume investigates settlement trajectories and systems of movement in the Birecik-Carchemish sector of the Euphrates River Valley from the fifth to the third millennium BCE. Integrating remote sensing analyses, published data of individual surveys and excavations, and the original results of the ?Land of Carchemish Project', this multi-scalar study shows the significant longevity of settlement choices and the role of small sites in shaping the cultural landscape of the region, both along the Euphrates and in the uplands. Attention is paid to the dynamics behind settlement creation and continuity, while the author also provides a reassessment of the radiocarbon dates from sites in the area of study.

‎Maritime Exchange and the Making of Norman Worlds‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, x + 230 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 12 col., 3 maps b/w, 3 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602172.‎

‎Summary Between c. 1000 and c. 1200 AD, emigrants from Normandy travelled long distances from their homeland, spreading their political influence to the shores of the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Baltic. Their willingness to cross the seas gave Normans access to new territories and new ideas, extending their authority and reputation far beyond northern France. But how and why were these Norman groups able to develop such power? The chapters collected here engage directly with this question by examining the sites and processes that underpinned this expansion. The contributors ask what different Norman groups took from the societies around them, and what they rejected; they consider how non-Norman powers ? in Ireland, England, the Fatimid Caliphate, Byzantium, the Holy Land, and Rus' ? responded to, and were shaped by, their interactions with Normans in contested zones; and they examine how Normans understood and imagined their own relationship with the sea as a place of exchange, a zone of uncertain control, and an ambiguous kind of border. Drawing together material culture and written evidence, this far-reaching volume offers a fully-developed discussion of how, and in what ways, these Norman worlds and societies could be said to be ?transcultural', and in doing so, makes a compelling case that attention to movement and maritime exchange must be central to our understanding of the extension of Norman influence in this period.

‎Magnification and Miniaturization in Religious Communications in Antiquity and Modernity. Materialities and Meanings‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xiv + 230 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 b/w, 72 col., 3 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503604794.‎

‎Summary Human agents might not be the measure of all things. Nonetheless, human bodies, and their bodily dimensions, often are, with size impacting on the ways in which we conceive of, interact with, and relate to the world around us. The scaling up or down of features ? magnification and miniaturization ? is particularly evident in the creation of anthropogenic items intended for use in religious ritual, and here sizing can be employed as a deliberate strategy to encourage shock and awe, admiration and deterrence, among spectators. Taking as its starting point the concept of 'materialities and meanings', this volume explores how human perceptions and understanding of magnified and miniaturized forms and structures are shaped and changed, both synchronically and diachronically, by our understanding of the human body and its size, and the impact that this has in our relationship with the wider world in the context of ritual practices. The chapters collected here consider a range of questions, from a discussion on the essentials of magnification or miniaturization to an exploration of the impact of such strategies on humans and their wider socio-political ramifications. Together, these chapters contribute to a unique discussion that offers new insights into 'materialities and meanings', the creation of items for ritual, and the ways in which they influence human perception and understanding.

‎Shaping Archaeological Archives. Dialogues between Fieldwork, Museum Collections, and Private Archives‎

‎Summary Archaeology as a discipline has undergone significant changes over the past decades, in particular concerning best practices for how to handle the vast quantities of data that the discipline generates. Much of this data has often ended up in physical ? or, more recently, digital ? archives and been left untouched for years, despite containing critical information. But as many recent research projects explore how best to unleash the potential of these archives through publication, digitization, and improved accessibility, attention is now turning to the best practices that should underpin this trend. In this volume, scholars turn their attention to how best to work with and shape archaeological archives, and what this means for the field as a whole. The majority of case studies here explore archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, some of which are conflict zones today. However, the contributions also showcase more broadly the depth of research on archaeological archives as a whole, and offer reflections upon the relationship between archaeological practices and archival forms. In so doing, the volume is able to offer a unique dialogue on best practices for the dissemination and synthetization of knowledge from archives more generally, whether physical or digital.

‎Summary This volume, the third in the series MediTo, investigates the changing landscapes of Tuscany during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Through a selection of thematic case studies, presented initially during the second International workshop held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2019 and here further developed, the volume explores the concepts of settlement, economic, and societal changes in both Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context over the course of several centuries. Together, the contributions gathered here showcase how cities and rural settlements, when studied in their archaeological and historical context, shed light on a dynamic landscape in which natural resources played a crucial role in defining the success or later abandonment of sites.

‎Summary Doreen Waugh was a native Shetlander and a well-renowned scholar of Old Norse and Gaelic place-names in Northern Scotland and the Northern Isles. Not only did Waugh's research significantly advance scholarly understanding of the 'Viking' settlement of the North Atlantic, her generosity with both her time and knowledge inspired and motivated a wide range of scholars from a variety of disciplines, from archaeology and history to historical geography, linguistics, and place-name studies. Based on ? and written in tribute to ? Waugh's work, this interdisciplinary volume draws together essays covering Northern Scotland, the Northern Isles, and beyond, both during and after the early medieval period. The contributions gathered here draw on Waugh's wider-ranging research interests to offer a range of novel insights into the many communities, cultures, and customs that have characterized and connected the Northern Isles and their North Atlantic neighbours.

‎Byzantine Attica. An Archaeology of Settlement and Landscape (4th-12th Centuries)‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 664 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:90 b/w, 106 col., 11 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503611204.‎

‎Summary Attica, the region which surrounds Athens (Greece) is a key area for understanding the transformation of the ancient Roman world to its Medieval successor in the eastern Mediterranean. Located at a crossroads for land and maritime communications, being well populated, carrying a thorough administrative organization and a heavy cultural and religious tradition, the region participated in the broader historic evolutions from the 4th to the 12th centuries. Moreover, Attica stands out in contemporary historic and archaeological research due to its very intensive field research, starting in the 19th century and culminating since the 1960s, through rescue excavation and systematic studies. The outcome of this multi-faceted research on field and monuments which concerns the 4th to 12th centuries forms the backbone of the present volume. Stepping beyond this compilation, however, this study proceeds into being a synthesis of evidence on settlement patterns, road communications, defensive works, religious activities and burial habits. These topics are underpinned by aspects which belong to the longue dur e, geography and the natural environment, which are considered as crucial to the understanding of the Byzantine history. In short, the present book covers as many aspects of the studied area as possible, aiming to show the potential of regional studies for the history and archaeology of Late Antiquity and Byzantium. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Foreword & Acknowledgements Introduction Part I: Byzantine Attica: the geography, the history and earlier studies Chapter I - Attica: a landscape surrounded by the sea General geography of Attica Natural environment and resources Chapter II - Attica in Byzantine history 'Attica' as a region in Byzantine sources The history and administrative status of Byzantine Attica Historical sources on Byzantine Attica Chapter III - Byzantine Attica: earlier research Archaeological excavations of Early and Middle Byzantine Attica Studies on Byzantine churches in Attica Field surveys and Byzantine finds Research on the topography of Byzantine Attica Toponyms in Byzantine Attica Chapter IV - Land routes and maritime communication in Byzantine Attica Introduction The evidence of the 'Tabula Peutingeriana' Land routes: topographic and archaeological evidence Byzantine Megarid: a forgotten hub of interregional communications Ports and anchorages in Byzantine Attica Part II: Byzantine Attica: the archaeology of human activity Chapter V - Attica in the Late Roman & Early Byzantine period (4th to mid-7th c.)

‎Summary Kaum eine der zahlreichen antiken und mittelalterlichen Schriftquellen vers umt es, die Befestigungssysteme Antiochias zu erw hnen. Die imposante Anlage der ber die beiden Stadtberge und entlang des Orontes verlaufenden Mauern wurde, so beil ufig die Autoren ber sie berichten, stets als Garant f r den Fortbestand der Metropole betrachtet. Tats chlich blieben die Befestigungsanlagen weit ber das Ende der antiken Stadt hinaus auch f r das islamische, byzantinische und kreuzfahrerzeitliche Antiochia ma gebend und bestimmten bis in die Neuzeit die Organisation des st dtischen Raumes. Ungeachtet ihrer Bedeutung f r die Rekonstruktion der wechselhaften Stadtgeschichte blieben die auf einer L nge von rund dreizehn Kilometern erhaltenen Befestigungssysteme Antiochias bislang weitgehend unbeachtet. Im ersten Band der deutsch-t rkischen Unternehmung in Antiochia werden die r mischen Fortifikationen auf den beiden Stadtbergen, Silpios und Staurin, sowie in der Ebene erstmals monographisch vorgelegt. Dies geschieht auf der Grundlage von umfangreichen Bauaufnahmen, einer detaillierten Fotodokumentation und unter Ber cksichtigung von unpublizierten Grabungsberichten aus dem Princeton University Antioch Archive. Den topographischen Rahmen f r das Verst ndnis der Stadtmauersysteme bildet der neue Stadtplan, der hier erstmals vorgelegt wird.

‎Rise of Cities Revisited. Reflections on Adriaan Verhulst's Vision of Urban Genesis and Developments in the Medieval Low Countries‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 275 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:34 b/w, 16 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503600567.‎

‎Summary Adriaan Verhulst's The Rise of Cities in North-West Europe (1999) is the last comprehensive work written by a single author on the urban genesis and spatial developments of cities in the medieval Low Countries. Since then, monographs, specialised studies and articles have been published on various cities and towns, while urban archaeologists have carried out numerous excavations. Much new knowledge has been gained, yet many gaps and the need for comparative overviews remain. Twenty-five years after Verhulst's synthesis, The Rise of Cities Revisited takes a fresh look at the origins and developments of cities and towns in the Low Countries between the tenth and the sixteenth centuries, critically assesses progress made in scholarship and outlines future directions for research. The chapters of the book are written by senior and junior specialists from various fields, including medieval history, historical geography, economic history, archaeology and building history. The Rise of Cities Revisited presents a state of the art and provides scholars with tools to study this complex subject in future. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction Bram Vannieuwenhuyze 2.

‎Summary This fifth volume of a collection devoted to the interdisciplinary meetings held one every two years at K ltepe, ancient Kane?, brings together eighteen contributions dedicated to the archaeology and history of this Central Anatolian site and its surroundings. Each chapter within the volume presents the results of current research into K ltepe, thus continuing the holistic approach first demonstrated in earlier volumes of the K ltepe International Meetings sub-series of revitalizing one of the most important cultural centres of early Anatolia and of emphasising its importance as a pilot site for interdisciplinary studies. Drawing on K ltepe's unique textual and archaeological data, the studies gathered here are organized into four key thematic sections devoted respectively to politics, law and religion; women, family and correspondence; human and animal skeletons; and to the most recent archaeological excavations in K ltepe covering a period from the Chalcolithic to Hellenistic times.

‎Summary The volume Strapped for Cash: Needy Soldiers, Reluctant Authorities. Studies on Military Payments in Greek and Roman Antiquity includes eight (8) studies focusing on the question of the payment of soldiers and mercenaries by the issuing authorities in Greek and Roman antiquity. The studies in the volume discuss the use of coinage in relation to the salaries of the troops, but also in relation to the daily needs of the soldiers, both in peacetime and during war operations. The scarcity of sources dealing with the payment of troops leads to interesting methodological approaches, the results of which illuminate aspects of the wider economic and military history. The volume examines the tripartite relationship of Money-Payment-Military activities, through a broad chronological and geographical spectrum covering the period from the Classical period to Roman Imperial times, starting from Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula and reaching to the East TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Authors Panagiotis P.

‎Summary Il libro raccoglie una serie di contributi che scaturiscono dallo scavo e dallo studio della villa romana di San Marco sull'isola d'Elba, dei suoi reperti e del suo contesto storico ed ambientale. I ritrovamenti archeologici sono pertinenti un periodo molto ristretto di vita dell'insediamento, all'incirca tra il II secolo a.C e il II secolo d.C., quando la villa fu verosimilmente distrutta da un'incendio. Tale drammatico evento ha permesso la conservazione straordinaria di una serie di reperti organici (come la travatura di un solaio), attraverso i quali stato possibile procedere ad una ricostruzione dettagliata della planimetria e degli elevati dell'edificio. Lo studio poi delle incredibili decorazioni pittoriche, insieme ad i ritrovamenti epigrafici, hanno permesso di attribuire la villa ad una delle propriet dell'importante famiglia senatoria dei Valerii.

‎Roman Names in the Cyclades. Part ?I‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 504 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 col., Language: English. ISBN 9789603710776.‎

‎Summary The second volume of the study on the Roman names in the Cyclades completes the contribution to the social history of a marginal zone of the Roman world. It includes prosopographic catalogues of bearers of Roman names attested on Amorgos, Anaphe, Ios, Naxos, Oliaros, Paros, Pholegandros, Thera and attestations connected generally with the Cyclades, but not with a specific island. An extensive introduction presents the historical context and a synthetic overview of the diffusion of Roman names and citizenship in the Cyclades. The book is enriched by two synthetic contributions written by specialists. One of them (El. Sverkos) focuses on the origin of certain characteristic names and the other (P. Doukellis) on the study of 'spatiality' and the sociological parameters of the diffusion of the names as a method for perceiving the complex mechanisms for the construction of personal identities. This work is also a contribution to the epigraphy of the Cyclades, as the prosopographic catalogues were based on autopsy of the published and unpublished epigraphic material, relocation of stones and research in the archive of the Inscriptiones Graecae (Berlin). This method yielded hitherto unknown prosopographic data as well as new readings and interpretations of epigraphic texts which had not been studied for over a century. As part of the documentation, 47 plates include photos of several inscriptions or their squeezes, which are published here for the first time.

‎Odds and Ends. Unusual Elements in Palmyrene Iconography‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xiv + 180 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:45 b/w, 63 col., 1 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503603964.‎

‎Summary The funerary art that was produced in Roman Palmyra, a caravan city in the Syrian steppe desert, is rightly world-renowned. The frontal depictions of the deceased, featured in torso-length portraits, and the large-scale banqueting scenes are iconic, and lent an added mystique by the absence of any literary sources that might aid in their interpretation. But while from a distance these exquisite portraits might seem rather formulaic, when examining more closely, it is clear that these scenes reveal a surprisingly rich and varied funerary d cor. Alongside the more popular iconographic choices are singular scenes, motifs, and elements that deviate from the norm, while new patterns and connections between Palmyra and its surroundings are identifiable. This volume, which draws on the vast materials gathered under the auspices of the Palmyra Portrait Project directed by Professor Rubina Raja, explores the 'oddities' raised by the Palmyrene corpus; it examines one-off scenes or elements, and unusual or unparalleled iconographical choices, and it questions how and why such unusual choices should be interpreted. The chapters gathered here not only focus on these visual 'hapax legomena' in Palmyra, but also explore the city's connections with the art of Roman centres to the west, as well as the nearby Hellenistic city states, regional centres of production, and Parthian and Persian sites to the east. Through this approach, the authors engage with the visual richness and sheer amount of choice that existed in Palmyrene funerary art, while also providing unique insights into the knowledge culture that existed within Palmyrene society.

‎Summary While it is well-established that Brittany and the Insular world were closely linked during the medieval period, the precise nature of these connections continues to spark debate. Was there a significant migration in the fifth century, or were the connections more multi-faceted and enduring than medieval accounts suggest? And how might we triangulate the Atlantic connections with other influences on medieval Brittany, including those from the Carolingian world? Drawing together research that was first presented at the conference 'Brittany and the Atlantic Archipelago: Contact, Myth and History 450-1200', held in Cambridge in December 2017, this volume seeks to present new and ground-breaking research into both Brittany and its broader European context during the medieval period. The chapters gathered here range across various disciplines, including textual history, archaeology, hagiography, onomastics, and the study of liturgical evidence, offering new insights into our understanding of medieval Brittany, as well as drawing out particular connections (and disconnections) between Brittany and its neighbours.

‎Exchange and Reuse in Roman Palmyra. Examining Economy and Circularity‎

‎Summary How did ancient cities like Palmyra survive? How did their people produce and manage the resources required for both their short- and long-term needs? Were their methods circular or wasteful? What materials did they reuse, and how? What form did their routine exchanges take? The material culture of Palmyra offers unique potential for addressing these questions in a concrete way. While the city is most famous for its long-distance commerce, a century of excavations at the site, together with a series of recent print publications and digital enterprises, have provided scholars with unprecedented amounts of material objects, among them inscriptions, statues, tesserae, coins, glass and metal finds, textiles, and other objects, all of which shed new light on Palmyra's economy and how its inhabitants consumed, maintained, exchanged, or reused key resources. Drawing together contributions from leading researchers on ancient Palmyra, this volume explores various dimensions of the city's economy from fresh angles. The chapters gathered here feature new methodologies for determining the size of Palmyra's population and for understanding the nature of coins in local exchanges, offer reassessments of the Palmyrene institutions that underpinned economic exchange, examine how Palmyrenes used and reused materials, and consider the forms of exchange and reuse that governed the building activity of Palmyrenes after the city's Roman heyday and within areas of Egypt.

‎Summary This volume, dedicated to Ivan Matej?i?, a distinguisehd Croatian art historian and conservator, in honour of his 70th birthday, contains thirty articles covering the fields of art history, archaeology and history. These are all original contributions to debates regarding mostly the period from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance, but not disregarding the Baroque and thus reflecting the broad interests of the celebrant. While several contributions discuss themes related to Dalmatia or Italy, the foucs of the volume is on istria, the meeting point of Central, Mediterranean and Southeast Europe, which was also the region to which Ivan Matej?i? dedicated most of his outstanding work. Therefore it will, withouth doubt, find an interested readership among scholars from many different counries and fields of interest, Byzantine and Carolingian Europe being only the two most prominent. - Prof Neven Budak, University of Zagreb The reviewed book presents more than 30 original scientific papers dealing mostly with Middle Ages and the Renaissance, practically all in the field of art history or archaeology, authored by some of the most qualified international researchers in these fields. It includes diachronical research related to medieval architecture and liturgy, ecclesiastic history, medieval paintings mostly focusing on Christian history and material culture. Most topics published in this book are presented for the first time. The interest of the scientific immunity will be visible in the use of new methodologies in a quite prolific number of papers, with new interpretations of old known material. All former studies of the topics elaborated in this volume are questioned - providing andwers and new perspectives of old problems, while giving new methodologies of interpreting the past. - Prof. Alexandra Chavarria Arnau, University of Padova TABLE OF CONTENTS Miljenko Jurkovi? - Marijan Bradanovi?, Predgovor / Foreword Marijan Bradanovi?, ?ivjeti povijest umjetnosti, raditi ?uvaju?i ba?tinu / Living Art History - Working Preserving Heritage Bibliography of Ivan Matej?i?

‎Bathing at the Edge of the Roman Empire. Baths and Bathing Habits in the North-Western Corner of Continental Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 304 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:229 b/w, 13 col., 13 tables b/w., 8 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503600666.‎

‎Summary Roman bathhouses are considered to be prime markers when studying romanization in the provinces of the Empire, as these very specific ? and archaeologically recognizable ? buildings, together with their associated ideas about the body and personal health, introduced a decidedly Roman habit into regions that had hitherto been unfamiliar with (communal) bathhouses and heating technology. While traditionally, studies into Roman baths and bathing have focused on large public baths in the cities of the empire, however, those from the area that now roughly corresponds to modern-day Belgium have often been neglected in recent research as this was an area with few important urban centres. This book for the first time investigates the introduction, spread, and eventual disappearance of Roman-style baths and of bathing habits in this north-western corner of the Roman Empire. A detailed analysis of the architecture, technology, and decoration of both public and private baths is combined with a discussion on the role of bathing in the area's romanization, and supplemented by a fully illustrated catalogue of all bathhouses in the area of study. In doing so, the volume sheds new light not only on the evolution of baths and bathing in this region, but also on their broader role in larger historic processes such as cultural change across the Empire.

‎Summary The archaeological excavations conducted from one end of the Mediterranean zone to the other have illuminated the place of gods in the ritual practices in the dwellings of the Graeco-Roman era. The discovery of multiple artefacts, dedicated spaces, and figurative paintings support new avenues of historical, anthropological, and social reflection with the aim of better understanding domestic religious practices in the polytheistic contexts of antiquity. This collective volume organizes those reflections around three axes. The first axis centres on identifying the deities that were favoured in domestic sanctuaries. Which gods are represented and which are not? The second axis concerns the interrelationships evident within domestic ritual spaces and sanctuaries. The third axis is dedicated to the anthropology of rituals. Lines of inquiry informed by anthropological, social, and phenomenological approaches are assuming ever-greater importance in scholarship on Antiquity. It is from this perspective that the authors explore the role that domestic ritual spaces play in shaping the lived environment.
