Book Description
Il volume raccoglie rispettivamente, le Relazioni e le Comunicazioni presentate nel Convegno romano organizzato in onore di John W. Hayes a poco più di venti anni dalla pubblicazione del suo famoso volume Late Roman Pottery, che ha costituito una pietra miliare per gli archeologi impegnati nello studio della tarda antichità. I cinquantaquattro contributi, articolati in analisi di singole classi, sintesi a livello regionale e presentazioni di siti o contesti, configurano un primo manuale delle produzioni ceramiche della penisola nel periodo della transizione tra tardo antico e alto medioevo, oggetto negli ultimi anni di un dibattito a tutto campo, nell’ambito del quale le testimonianze della cultura materiale occupano un ruolo di primaria importanza. La pubblicazione accorpa in un unico volume la prima edizione realizzata in due tomi

Byzantine Trade, 4th-12th Centuries
Author: Marlia Mundell Mango
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135195377X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The 28 papers examine questions relating to the extent and nature of Byzantine trade from Late Antiquity into the Middle Ages. The Byzantine state was the only political entity of the Mediterranean to survive Antiquity and thus offers a theoretical standard against which to measure diachronic and regional changes in trading practices within the area and beyond. To complement previous extensive work on late antique long-distance trade within the Mediterranean (based on the grain supply, amphorae and fine ware circulation), the papers concentrate on local and international trade. The emphasis is on recently uncovered or studied archaeological evidence relating to key topics. These include local retail organisation within the city, some regional markets within the empire, the production and/or circulation patterns of particular goods (metalware, ivory and bone, glass, pottery), and objects of international trade, both exports such as wine and glass, imports such as materia medica, and the lack of importation of, for example, Sasanian pottery. In particular, new work relating to specific regions of Byzantium's international trade is highlighted: in Britain, the Levant, the Red Sea, the Black Sea and China. Papers of the 38th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held in 2004 at Oxford under the auspices of the Committee for Byzantine Studies.

Byzantium, Venice and the Medieval Adriatic
Author: Magdalena Skoblar
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108897959
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
The Adriatic has long occupied a liminal position between different cultures, languages and faiths. This book offers the first synthesis of its history between the seventh and the mid-fifteenth century, a period coinciding with the existence of the Byzantine Empire which, as heir to the Roman Empire, lay claim to the region. The period also saw the rise of Venice and it is important to understand the conditions which would lead to her dominance in the late Middle Ages. An international team of historians and archaeologists examines trade, administration and cultural exchange between the Adriatic and Byzantium but also within the region itself, and makes more widely known much previously scattered and localised research and the results of archaeological excavations in both Italy and Croatia. Their bold interpretations offer many stimulating ideas for rethinking the entire history of the Mediterranean during the period.

Side-by-Side Survey
Author: Susan Alcock
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1785704745
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 661
Book Description
Twenty years ago, John Cherry looked forward to the day when archaeological survey projects working around the Mediterranean region (the 'Frogs round the pond') would begin to compare and synthesize the information they had collected. He anticipated researchers tackling big questions of interregional scope in new and interesting ways, working at a geographical scale considerably larger than that of the individual survey. Was his optimism misplaced? Despite the extraordinary growth of interest in field survey projects and regional analysis, and despite the developments in survey methodology that have been discussed and implemented in the past two decades, few scholars have attempted to use survey data in a comparative mode and to answer the broad-scale questions confronting social historians. In this volume, which is the outcome of an advanced Workshop held at the University of Michigan in 2002, a number of prominent archaeologists return to the question of comparability. They discuss the potential benefits of working in a comparative format, with evidence from many different Mediterranean survey projects, and consider the practical problems that present roadblocks to achieving that objective. From mapping and manuring to human settlement and demography, environment and culture, each addresses different questions, often with quite different approaches; together they offer a range of perspectives on how to put surveys "side-by-side". Contributors include Susan E Alcock, John Cherry, Jack L Davis, Peter Attema, Martijn van Leusen, James C Wright, Robin Osborne, David Mattingly, T J Wilkinson, and Richard E Blanton.
