Download or read book Butrint 6 Excavations on the Vrina Plain written by Paul Reynolds and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Butrint 6 describes the excavations carried out on the Vrina Plain by the Butrint Foundation from 2002–2007. Lying just to the south of the ancient port city of Butrint, these excavations have revealed a 1,300 year long story of a changing community that began in the 1st century AD, one which not only played its part in shaping the city of Butrint but also in how the city interacted and at times reacted to the changing political, economic and cultural situations occurring across the Mediterranean World over this period. Volume III discusses the Roman and Late Antique pottery from the Vrina Plain excavations. This detailed study of the ceramics follows the archaeological sequence recovered from the excavations in chronological order and provides a comprehensive and in depth review of the pottery, context by context, offering an important insight into the supply, as well as typology, of local and imported pottery available to the inhabitants of the Vrina Plain during this period. This is followed by a discussion on how the pottery trends found on the Vrina Plain relate to that of other sites in Butrint, both within the town (Triconch Palace; the Forum) and outside (Vrina Plain training school villa excavations; the villa of Diaporit). The volume also presents an overview of some of the principal typological developments found across Butrint so as to allow the reader to place the Vrina finds in context, including a discussion of a number of key contexts from the Forum, as well as the findings from thin-section petrology of some of the ceramics.
Download or read book Kale Akte the Fair Promontory written by Adam Lindhagen and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates the interaction between the natural environment, market forces and political entities in an ancient Sicilian town and its surrounding micro-region over the time-span of a thousand years. Focusing on the ancient polis of Kale Akte (Caronia) and the surrounding Nebrodi area on the north coast of Sicily, the book examines the city’s archaeology and history from a broad geographical and cultural viewpoint, suggesting that Kale Akte may have had a greater economic importance for Sicily and the wider Mediterranean world than its size and lowly political status would suggest. Also discussed is the gradual population shift away from the hill-top down to a growing harbour settlement at Caronia Marina, at the foot of the rock. The book is particularly important for the comprehensive analysis of the 1999–2004 excavations at the latter, with fresh interpretations of the function of the buildings excavated and their chronology, as well for reviewing the present state of our knowledge about Kale Acte/Calacte, and defining research questions for the future. The archaeological material at the heart of this study comes from excavations at the site conducted by the author. It is one of the few detailed publications from Sicily of Hellenistic and Roman amphora material. The conclusions about changing trends of commercial production and exchange will be of interest to those working on ceramic material elsewhere in Sicily and indeed further afield. The study also offers a fresh perspective of the economic history of ancient Sicily, and concludes that Kale Akte’s privileged location on the north coast was well suited for the export trade to Italy and the city of Rome itself, which enabled the Sicilian town to prosper during the Roman Empire. The origins of Kale Akte and its alleged foundation by the exiled Sikel leader, Ducetius, in the fifth century BC, are also discussed in the light of the latest archaeological discoveries. An Italian summary of each chapter is also included.
Download or read book The Cambridge Prehistory of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean written by A. Bernard Knapp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 1677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Prehistory of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean offers new insights into the material and social practices of many different Mediterranean peoples during the Bronze and Iron Ages, presenting in particular those features that both connect and distinguish them. Contributors discuss in depth a range of topics that motivate and structure Mediterranean archaeology today, including insularity and connectivity; mobility, migration, and colonization; hybridization and cultural encounters; materiality, memory, and identity; community and household; life and death; and ritual and ideology. The volume's broad coverage of different approaches and contemporary archaeological practices will help practitioners of Mediterranean archaeology to move the subject forward in new and dynamic ways. Together, the essays in this volume shed new light on the people, ideas, and materials that make up the world of Mediterranean archaeology today, beyond the borders that separate Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Download or read book Beyond the Homeland written by Claudia Sagona and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the flurry of research on aspects of Phoenician culture, encompassing their socio-economic developments and the mechanics of their settlement of Mediterranean coastal lands, the fundamental issue of dating Phoenician achievements remains quite fluid. A range of criteria - textual sources, artefact analysis, stratigraphic data, and, increasingly, radiocarbon readings - provide a bewildering and sometimes conflicting picture of Phoenician chronology, which, in many respects, remains tenuous and free-floating. Owing to the nature of Phoenician colonisation, its chronology is often compartmentalised into discrete regional units. This volume brings together a number of essays focusing squarely on the chronology of the Phoenician-Punic world, ranging from the homeland to the western settlements. The essays are written by specialists in their field, who have encapsulated the chronological framework, and the problems therein, for regions touched by Phoenicians interests. A benchmark study, Beyond the Homeland will be of value not only to Phoenician-Punic scholars, but also to those in related fields who need an accessible study (in English) to navigate the chronological complexities of the field.

Book excerpt: Questa XVII edizione dell'"Africa romana", pubblicata per iniziativa del Dipartimento di Storia e del Centro di studi interdisciplinari sulle province romane dell'Università degli Studi di Sassari, della Consejería de Cultura de Andalucia e dell'Universidad de Sevilla, contiene i testi delle quasi 150 comunicazioni presentate a Sevilla tra il 14 ed il 17 dicembre 2006, in occasione del Convegno internazionale dedicato al tema "Le ricchezze dell'Africa, risorse, produzioni, scambi", cui hanno partecipato oltre 300 studiosi da 16 paesi europei ed extra-europei, svoltosi sotto l'alto patronato del Presidente della Repubblica italiana Giorgio Napolitano e con il patrocinio dell'Associarion Internationale d'épigraphie grecque et latine. Una sessione del convegno è stata dedicata alle relazioni tra Nord Africa e le altre province ed in particolare con le Hispaniae e una invece alle nuove scoperte epigrafiche. Questa edizione sviluppa una varietà di temi che certamente non potrà non sorprendere il lettore e si apre tra il lato iberico delle Colonne d'Eracle e il Lixus flumen, sul Giardino delle Esperidi sull'Oceano dove il dio aveva compiuto una delle sue più celebri fatiche. A fronte della tesi di un sottosviluppo dell'Africa antica, si contrappone ora una più equilibrata visione dei modi e dei tempi di un'evoluzione dell'economia africana, inserita in un quadro mediterraneo ed atlantico. Il volume raccoglie interventi in lingua italiana, spagnola, francese e tedesca.
