    This book discusses recent archaeological research along the Middle Danube Limes, as well as cities and fortifications in the hinterland of the Limes. This research sheds light on the process of Christianisation through the discovery of sacral architecture, sepulchral monuments and religious objects devoted to liturgical practice. An extensive catalogue of early Christian religious artefacts complements the discussion. The author illuminates the process of Christianisation in Late Antiquity, identifying the origins of the Christian influences that reached the Middle Danube Limes between the 4th and 7th centuries.

    En este libro se presentan los resultados del análisis de las representaciones sociales y la patrimonialización del registro arqueológico del pasado indígena en el Área de Ventania de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. La investigación se caracteriza por su transdisciplinariedad, dentro de la cual dialogan perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas propias de la Comunicación, los Estudios Culturales, la Antropología y la Arqueología. Un objetivo central del libro es analizar las representaciones sociales construidas por instituciones oficiales, museos y agentes del campo cultural, considerando las prácticas que relacionan a la comunidad con el registro arqueológico de las poblaciones cazadoras recolectoras que habitaron la región desde hace aproximadamente 6.000 años. La investigación permitió explicar las relaciones de poder que operan en el vínculo entre presente y pasado, enmarcadas en las interacciones comunicativas entre los sujetos, su pasado y el patrimonio arqueológico. Asimismo, aportó elementos para la elaboración de políticas de distinción, divulgación y preservación del registro arqueológico. This book presents the results of the analysis of social representations and the patrimonialization of the indigenous past in the Ventania Area of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The research is characterized by its transdisciplinarity, within which theoretical and methodological perspectives from communication studies, cultural studies, anthropology and archaeology converse. A central objective of the book is to analyse the social representations constructed by official institutions, museums, and agents of the cultural field, considering the practices that relate the community to the archaeological record of the hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited the region for approximately 6,000 years. The research made it possible to explain the power relations that operate in the link between present and past, framed in the communicative interactions between subjects, their past and archaeological heritage. Likewise, the book contributes elements for the elaboration of policies of distinction, dissemination, and preservation of the archaeological record.

    Scopo di questo libro è presentare uno studio dell'area della Bitinia dall' età arcaica al periodo ellenistico. Si è deciso di dividere l'esposizione in due parti, divise cronologicamente dalla spedizione di Alessandro Magno in Asia e dalla successiva fondazione del regno ellenistico di Bitinia. Nella prima si sono affrontati i principali problemi relativi alle fondazioni greche nel territorio dei Bitini (Astaco, Calcedone, Kios, Myrleia ed Olbia) e l'influenza delle grandi potenze nell'area nel periodo tardo arcaico e classico.Sia delle potenze greche come Atene e Sparta sia della principale potenza asiatica, l'impero persiano. Ampio spazio è stato poi dato alla presenza non greca nell'area, esaminando le problematiche relative alla satrapia della Frigia Ellespontica. Nella seconda parte centro dell'esposizione è il regno ellenistico di Bitinia, la cui formazione modifica profondamente gli equilibri politici e sociali presenti nell'area nel periodo precedente. Un' appendice infine verrà dedicata ad una breve esposizione concernente le emissioni monetarie dei re di Bitinia.This book presents a study of Bithynia from the Archaic to the Hellenistic period. It is organized in two parts, divided chronologically by the expedition of Alexander the Great to Asia and the subsequent foundation of the Hellenistic kingdom of Bithynia. The first part deals with the main problems relating to the Greek foundations in this geographical area (Astakos, Kalchedon, Kios, Myrleia and Olbia) and the regional influence of the great powers (Athens, Sparta, Persia) in the late Archaic and Classical period. Ample space is given to the non-Greek presence in the area, examining the issues relating to the satrapy of Phrygia. In the second part, the focus is on the Hellenistic kingdom of Bithynia, whose formation profoundly modifies the political and social balances present in the area in the previous period. Finally, an appendix is dedicated to a short exposition concerning the monetary issues of the kings of Bithynia.

    Como resultado de un reconocimiento sistemático de los campos que abarcan la alfarería tardoantigua de Sidi Zahruni (Nabeul, Túnez), documentamos una enorme cantidad de cerámica, especialmente ánforas, lo que nos permitió estudiar en detalle la producción de este taller. La forma africana Keay 25 - Africana 3 es particularmente frecuente. También hemos podido estudiar las exportaciones de esta cerámica en el Mediterráneo occidental, efectuando un seguimiento exhaustivo de las evidencias encontradas en las zonas de importación de este tipo de mercancías. El estudio de las ánforas de Sidi Zahruni nos ha permitido realizar una importante aportación al conocimiento del comercio entre África y el Mediterráneo occidental en época tardorromana, planteando la cuestión de los productos que se envasaban en dichas ánforas. También nos ha permitido valorar la importancia del puerto de Neapolis como centro clave para las exportaciones comerciales entre el África romana y las provincias del Mediterráneo occidental. As the result of a systematic survey of the fields covering the Late Roman pottery workshop of Sidi Zahruni (Nabeul, Tunisia), we have documented an enormous amount of pottery, especially amphorae, which enabled us to study in detail the production of this workshop. The African 3 - Keay 25 form was particularly prevalent. We also studied the exports of this pottery in the western Mediterranean, carrying out an exhaustive follow-up of the evidence found in the areas importing such goods. The study of the Sidi Zahruni amphorae has allowed us to make an important contribution to the knowledge of trade between Africa and the western Mediterranean in the late Roman period, raising the question of the products contained within these amphorae. It has allowed us to assess the importance of the port of Neapolis as a key centre for commercial exports between Roman Africa and the provinces of the western Mediterranean.

    The Early Regional Development (100 BC-AD 300) funerary precinct at Salango, on the central coast of Ecuador, was situated at the point of convergence of the Bahía II and Early Guangala culture zones. With plentiful line drawings and colour photographs, this book uses pottery from the precinct to present a detailed and closely contextualized description of Early Regional Development ceramic traditions for coastal Ecuador. As a result, we gain valuable insights into the dynamics of cultural identity, transition, and interaction as manifest in a highly structured pottery assemblage from a key Pre-Columbian site of this area. Attention is brought to designs made with the two principal decorative modes: iridescent paint on serving wares and red finger paint designs on kitchen wares. Assemblage analysis points to the complex set of cultural factors and processes involved in its composition, and an important local ceramic tradition is identified for the first time. Spanish summaries are included for each chapter.

    Waterways have been key factors in the development of societies from prehistoric times, particularly due to their role as vectors for cultural interactions, material exchange, and transmission of knowledge. The fluidity of these highways of transport and communications is tightly linked to the presence of transit points: spaces with unique geographical characteristics that acted as nodal points between different communities. Transit points are thus defined as places of intense social contacts, putting objects of physical geography into the domain of social sciences and humanities.The subject is challenging, as activities that happen in aquatic spaces seldom leave substantial archaeological traces behind. Nevertheless, by focusing on the intersection between humans and their environment down by the water, this book demonstrates what can be achieved by changing the research paradigm to one that fully embraces the nuances of the aquatic world, and especially the intricate connection between society and waterscapes.

    Este libro se centra en la caracterización de las producciones de cerámica común presentes en contextos de época romana de yacimientos del entorno de la antigua ciudad de Lucus Augusti (Lugo, España). A través de un enfoque que apuesta por el análisis de una cultura híbrida que tiene su eco en el registro cerámico, abordamos el estudio de la cerámica común de los castros de Saa (A Pastoriza), Agra dos Castros (Marcelle) y Viladonga (Castro de Rei). Se trata de yacimientos situados a diferentes distancias de la ciudad con ocupaciones en diferentes periodos que van desde el siglo I a.C. hasta el siglo V d.C. A través del estudio de estos yacimientos observamos las distintas realidades en esta área, lo cual ayudará a interpretar las transformaciones que se produjeron tras la integración de este territorio en el mundo romano.This book examines the characterisation of common pottery productions present in Roman period contexts at sites around the ancient city of Lucus Augusti (Lugo, Spain). Using an approach that focuses on the analysis of a hybrid culture, which is echoed in the pottery record, we study the common pottery from the hillforts of Saa (A Pastoriza), Agra dos Castros (Marcelle) and Viladonga (Castro de Rei). These sites are located at different distances from the city and were occupied during different periods from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD. Through the study of these sites, we observe the different realities in this area, which help to interpret the transformations that took place after the integration of this territory into the Roman world.

    This book proposes a new approach to the Hellenistic and Roman harbours of the Aegean, based on the combined study of harbours and contemporary ships, seamanship, and commerce. It focuses on the capacity of harbours to accommodate and serve certain numbers of ships, their cargo, their crews, and their passengers. This is achieved through the study of a variety of archaeological, written, and geomorphological data on harbour configuration, and subsequent analysis relating these harbours with the ships that were most likely to use them. Two harbours are used as cases studies, the important commercial centres of Delos and Kenchreai. The results reached concerning these harbours are then discussed in a wider perspective and contextualized with other contemporary sites in the Aegean, as well as within a wider scientific discussion over commerce and seamanship in the Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean.

    El volumen La Casa Arqueológica: estudios de caso en la antigüedad está compuesto de 18 artículos en los que se lleva a cabo el acercamiento a la realidad de la casa, el hogar como espacio físico, social, simbólico, a lo largo del tiempo y en diferentes contextos geográficos. Por lo tanto, es un enfoque transversal que se inicia en el Paleolítico, pasando por el Neolítico en Mesopotamia y en la Península Ibérica, modelos de Calcolítico y Protohistoria en Grecia y la Península Ibérica, mundo árabe y diversos modelos del continente americano: desde Cahokia, pasando por cazadores recolectores del norte de México, Teotihuacan y diversos modelos arqueológicos, etnohistóricos correspondientes a la cultura Maya. Se hacen propuestas metodológicas desde la perspectiva arqueológica y etnográfica, pasando por estudios arqueológicos de caso incidiendo en aspectos constructivos y cultura material asociada, con la reflexión teórica sobre las formas de acercamiento a esas realidades cotidianas que son los espacios domésticos y la diversidad de funciones.This volume discusses the reality of the archaeological house; the home as a physical, social, and symbolic space in different geographical contexts and time periods. Ethnographic and archaeological case studies are considered.Long version:This volume is composed of 18 articles in which the reality of the house is approached, the home as a physical, social space, symbolic, over time and in different geographical contexts. Therefore, it is a transversal approach that begins in the Palaeolithic, passing through the Neolithic in Mesopotamia and the Iberian Peninsula, Chalcolithic and Protohistoric models and the Arab world in Greece and the Iberian Peninsula, and various models of the American continent: from Cahokia, going through hunter gatherers from the north of Mexico, Teotihuacan and various archaeological, ethnohistorical models corresponding to the Mayan culture. Methodological proposals are made from the archaeological and ethnographic perspective, passing through archaeological case studies focusing on constructive aspects and associated material culture, with theoretical reflection on the ways of approaching those daily realities that are domestic spaces and the diversity of functions.

    The volume brings together the innovative contributions presented at the Graduate Archaeology at Oxford 2020 conference 'Innovative Approaches to Archaeology'. Rather than organising contributions by traditional archaeological sub-disciplines, this book groups them for their innovative theoretical and methodological approaches: Investigating materiality and material interactions, archaeologies of colonial encounters, and ancient landscapes and matters of scaling. The papers collated within these three sections present the reader with an idea of the current interests of archaeological postgraduate students, and a window into their future contributions to the field.

    Las anclas líticas de piedra, así como combinadas con madera son uno de los restos arqueolögicos mäs interesantes en cuanto a la arqueologi¿a mari¿tima se refiere. Por lo que a nuestros contextos de trabajo respecta, es posible encontrarlos en la mayori¿a de fondeaderos, naufragios o, aunque no es muy frecuente, en algunos yacimientos arqueolögicos terrestres. Algunos de ellos incluso son utilizados en la actualidad, y pertenecen al patrimonio local tanto de la navegaciön como de la pesca.Este trabajo recopila un conjunto de anclas li¿ticas y combinadas encontradas a lo largo de la costa de Guipu¿zcoa desde 1975 (Pai¿s Vasco, Espan¿a) hasta 2015 por la Sociedad de Investigaciones Submarinas INSUB. Hasta dönde sabemos, constituye uno de los conjuntos de anclas de piedra ine¿dito mäs grandes jamäs encontrados en la costa atläntica, y el mäs grande de la Peni¿nsula Ibe¿rica hasta este momento. Constituye pues el primer intento de registrarlas segu¿n los eständares acade¿micos vigentes, tanto en documentaciön me¿trica como gräfica.This work compiles a set of stone anchors found along Guipúzcoa's coast (Basque Country, Spain) between 1975 - 2015 by the Sociedad de Investigaciones Submarinas INSUB.
