About this Item

2 volumes ([20], 1071 p.) : ill. ; 30 cm Proceedings from the fourth LRCW congress held at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki between 7-10 April 2011, this volume is arranged to follow the thematic sessions of the conference rather than by geographical area: archaeology and economic history, production centers, distribution and consumption, regional contexts-east Mediterranean, regional contexts-west Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean: a market without frontiers. In this way it brings together research on similar issues across the Mediterranean, stressing the economic character of the sites and assemblages and culminating with the concept that the Mediterranean is after all an open way, a mare nostrum connecting the western to the eastern part.

About this title

Synopsis

These two volumes contain the proceedings of the fourth LRCW conference, held in Thessaloniki. Approaches vary from traditional typo-morphological ones with emphasis on pottery sequences and local production centres to more technological proccedures involving archaeometric analyses investigating the clay fabric and its mineralogical and /or chemical composition. Syntheses tackle broad issues such as the commerce and the economy of the Late Antique world and cover almost the entire Mediterranean region. Papers are grouped thematically under the following headings: archaeology and economic history, production centers, distribution and consumption, regional contexts-east Mediterranean, regional contexts-west Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean: a market without frontiers.
