Download or read book A Romano British Cemetery on Watling Street written by Anthony Mackinder and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2000 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations in 1996 and 1997 at 165 Great Dover Street, Southwark uncovered important new evidence of burials and structures associated with a Roman roadside cemetery to the south-east of the Southwark. The cemetery was most extensive in the early third century, and indicates that construction of high-status mausolea and other burial structures extended about half a kilometre down Watling Street from the boundary of the settlement. The arrangement of the structures and lack of intercutting burials suggest that the cemetery held private plots used by wealthy families for extended periods of time. One of the burials contained the cremated remains of a female, with at least nine pottery tazze, eight pottery lamps with images of Anubis and a gladiator, and an exceptional array of plant remains, many imported from the Mediterranean, including stone pine, white almond and the first occurrence in London of date fruit.
Download or read book The Romano British Peasant written by Mike McCarthy and published by Windgather Press. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and significant volume examines, for the first time, the ordinary people of Roman Britain. This overlooked group the farmers, shopkeepers, labourers and others fed the country, made the clothes, mined the ores, built the villas and towns and got their hands dirty in the fields and at the potters wheel. The book aims to rebalance our view of Roman Britain from its current preoccupation with archaeologically visible elite social classes and the institutions of power, towards a recognition that the ordinary person mattered. It looks at how people earned a living, family size and structure, social behaviour, customs and taboos and the impact of the presence of non-locals and foreigners, using archaeology, texts and ethnography. It also explores how the natural forces which underlay the use of agricultural land and regional variation in agricultural practice impacted upon the size, health and nutrition of the population. The Romano-British Peasant leads the way towards a greater understanding of ordinary men and women and their role in the history and landscape of Roman Britain. This title has been nominated for the 2014 Current Archaeology Best Book Award.

Download or read book English Heritage Book of Roman Towns in Britain written by Guy De la Bédoyère and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1992 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Roman conquest there were few settlements in Britain that could properly be described as towns and their rapid growth was one of the first effects of the invasion of AD 43. This book traces the process of urbanization and provides answers to questions about how Roman towns grew and functioned: why towns are sited where they are, who lived in them, what services and facilities they provided, how they were organized, and their role in trade, industry and economy. Roman towns, with their impressive public buildings on a scale not seen before in Britain, must have had a great impact on the native population. They have attracted attention ever since and a vast amount of evidence for the Roman towns, many of which lie beneath modern British cities, has been recovered. This book draws together as much of this information as possible to present a picture of life in the Roman towns of Britain. With over 100 maps, plans, reconstructions and photographs, this is the complete companion to the Roman Towns in Britain - whether you wish to study the sites before or after a visit, or whether you are simply an armchair archaeologist.

Download or read book Christians and Pagans in Roman Britain Routledge Revivals written by Dorothy Watts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Christians and Pagans in Roman Britain, first published in 1991, Professor Dorothy Watts sets out to distinguish possible Pagan features in Romano-British Christianity in the period leading up to and immediately following the withdrawal of Roman forces in AD 410. Watts argues that British Christianity at the time contained many Pagan influences, suggesting that the former, although it had been present in the British Isles for some two centuries, was not nearly as firmly established as in other parts of the Empire. Building on recent developments in the archaeology of Roman Britain, and utilising a nuanced method for deciphering the significance of objects with ambiguous religious identities, Christians and Pagans in Roman Britain will be of interest to classicists, students of the history of the British Isles, Church historians, and also to those generally interested in the place of Christianity during the twilight of the Western Roman Empire.
