CONTEXT FORMATION & TRANSFORMATION: THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF A HOT BATH IN BEIRUT R. Thorpe , Archaeological Collaboration for Research and Excavation (ACRE) INTRODUCTION The following paper narrates the stratigraphic sequence within one room (Room 11) of an Imperial Roman and Byzantine bathing complex (Building 709) partly within the excavation limits of BEY 045, excavated in the Downtown area of central Beirut (Figure 1). It then goes on to explain the structure used used to interpret the room, and how, in their strictest sense, the Laws of Archaeological Stratigraphy (Harris 1979, 1989) and the archaeologists that apply them are challenged by sites that exist as partially extant, though essentially buried Read More Go to Site

		Hadrians Wall, extent of the Roman Empire ^Votes:0 About Scotland 4 pages on Hadrian's Wall Hadrians wall One of the greatest monuments to the power - and limitations - of the Roman Empire, Hadrian's Wall ran for 73 miles across open country. Why was it built? At the time of Julius Caesar's first small invasion of the south coast of Britain in 55 BC, the British Isles, like much of mainland Europe was inhabited by many Celtic tribes loosely united by a similar language and culture but nevertheless each distinct. He returned the next year and encountered the 4000 war chariots of the Catevellauni in a land "protected by forests and marshes, and filled with a great number of men and cattle." He defeated the Catevellauni and then withdrew, though not before establishing treaties and alliances. Thus began the Roman occupation of Brita Read More Go to Site

		History 331 texts, Roman farming ^Votes:0 Agriculture in the Roman empire INTRODUCTION ["The Archeology of the Roman Economy". by K. Greene, pp. 67-94. 1986 by the University of California Press.] Almost everywhere a large part of the population was engaged in agnculture at a relatively low level, while industry depended on a backward technology and was rarely organised in large units. Ancient historians are unanimous in accepting the importance of agriculture in the Roman empire, to the extent of contending that it was so important that no other form of economic activity could possibly be considered as sign)ficant. On the other hand, the Roman empire shows ample evidence for military power, sophisticated communications, imposing cities, lavish rural villas , metallic currency, and a wide range of goods such as pottery or metalwor Read More Go to Site

		Irby, Wirral, Merseyside, a late prehistoric and Romano-British site ^Votes:0 Irby, Wirral, Merseyside, a late prehistoric and Romano-British site A Roman site had been suspected at Mill Hill Road, Irby since the early 1980s when a Roman bowl, found in a garden during the Second World War, was drawn to the attention of Liverpool Museum archaeologists. Minor exploratory excavations were carried out by the Museum in the garden from 1987 to 1991 to locate occupation deposits and assess their survival. At the time, very few Romano-British rural sites had been excavated in the lowland north west of England and the site offered the potential to gain detailed information on site chronology, layout, and economy. By chance an undeveloped adjacent area was available for excavation and larger scale work in 1992 revealed that survival of deposits was exceptionally good for the Read More Go to Site

		JaniculumMills ^Votes:0 Janiculum Mills Excavations Roman water-mills on the Janiculum Hill, Rome Background At the invitation of the American Academy in Rome, and with the kind permission of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma, a 5-week excavation season was undertaken in June and July 1998 to investigate the Aqua Traiana and a large Roman water-mill complex in the Academy's parking lot, on the Janiculum Hill in Rome. The 1998 season was funded by the American Academy, the Packard Foundation and the Craven Committee of Oxford University. The mills were already known from observations by R. Lanciani in the 1880s, and from small-scale rescue excavations by Prof. Malcolm Bell during the laying of electricity and gas lines in the Via Medici in 1990 and 1991.

		Learning to Read Rome's Ruins ^Votes:0 Learning to Read Rome's Ruins Archaeology Learning to Read Rome's Ruins Between 1450 and 1600 ancient Rome began to emerge from beneath the shapeless pastures and deserted hills of the ancient city. Renaissance scholars identified major sites and buildings. They began the great effort of copying the ancient inscriptions that made the city itself a vast, if fragmentary, textbook about Roman history and life. By the middle of the fifteenth century, scholars in the curia--like the brilliant architect Leon Battista Alberti and the erudite scholar Flavio Biondo -- knew the ancient city better than anyone had for a thousand years. Artists recorded the ruins that survived, broken and ivy-covered, and reconstructed the original palaces and temples in all their crisp-edged glory. Architects tried t Read More Go to Site

The site, destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79, rakes in more than 20 billion lire ($12 million) annually in ticket sales--not to mention revenues generated by souvenir sales, restaurant concessions, and hotels--and the Camorra wants a piece of the action.

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., it buried two towns. One of these was Pompeii, now among the most familiar archaeological sites in the world. The other was Herculaneum, a seaside resort which was home to the villas of wealthy Romans who would come to the beautiful Bay of Naples to escape the heat and hubbub of the capital.

		Roman Deep-vein Mining ^Votes:0 Roman Deep-vein Mining by Lynne Cohen Duncan Table of Contents Introduction Types of Roman Mining Mining Tools Underground workings Special Problems of Deep-vein Mining Ventilation Lighting Drainage Conclusion Bibliography Introduction The Romans mined for metals in every part of their empire. They sought both utilitarian metals such as iron, copper, tin, and lead, and the precious metals gold and silver. The desire for mineral resources may even have affected foreign policy. Before he invaded, Caesar knew of the rich tin deposits in Britain, a metal used in the production of bronze and in limited supply elsewhere in the empire [Caesar, 5.12]. Our knowledge of Roman mining comes from modern excavation reports of the mines and from literary sources, such as Diodorus of Sicily and Pliny. The Read More Go to Site

		The eastern cemetery of Roman London ^Votes:0 The eastern cemetery of Roman London: analysis and publication project Publication of Roman burials, particularly those in large urban cemeteries, has often lagged behind their excavation, and they have therefore been relatively unstudied by comparison with cemeteries of other periods. An opportunity to redress this balance has arisen for Roman London. Between 1983 and 1990 11 excavations and watching briefs took place in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, immediately to the east of the modern City of London, in an area where antiquarian observations of Roman burials have been made since at least the late sixteenth century. These were rescue investigations in advance of commercial redevelopment, conducted by the Museum of London's former Department of Greater London Archaeology (DGLA), n Read More Go to Site

Currently, university classes such as Roman Art and Archaeology and Egyptian Art and Archaeolgy make use of this resource during hands-on sessions with a limited number of the more durable objects. We hope to increase students' understanding of these pieces and of the site generally by giving them on-line access to material as well as more contextual information.
