Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Economic circularity is the ability of a society to reduce waste by recycling, reusing, and repairing raw materials and finished products. This concept has gained momentum in academia, in part due to contemporary environmental concerns. Although the blurry conceptual boundaries of this term are open to a wide array of interpretations, the scholarly community generally perceives circular economy as a convenient umbrella definition that encompasses a vast array of regenerative and preservative processes. Despite the recent surge of interest, economic circularity has not been fully addressed as a macrophenomenon by historical and archaeological studies. The limitations of data and the relatively new formulation of targeted research questions mean that several processes and agents involved in ancient circular economies are still invisible to the eye of modern scholarship. Examples include forms of curation, maintenance, and repair, which must have had an influence on the economic systems of premodern societies but are rarely accounted for. Moreover, the people behind these processes, such as collectors and scavengers, are rarely investigated and poorly understood. Even better-studied mechanisms, like reuse and recycling, are not explored to their full potential within the broader picture of ancient urban economies. This volume stems from a conference held at Moesgaard Museum supported by the Carlsberg Foundation and the Centre for Urban Networks Evolutions (UrbNet) at Aarhus University. To enhance our understanding of circular economic processes, the contributions in this volume expand the framework of the discussion by exploring circular economy over the longue duree and by integrating an interdisciplinary perspective. Furthermore, the volume gives prominence to classes of material, processes, agents, and methodologies generally overlooked or ignored in modern scholarship. AUTHORS: Irene Bavuso is Assistant Professor in Medieval History at Utrecht University. Her research focuses on the socio-economic history of the early Middle Ages. Guido Furlan is postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Urban Network Evolutions, Aarhus University. His research interests include the archaeology of Roman towns, and theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the archaeological record. Emanuele E. Intagliata is Assistant Professor at the Universita degli Studi di Milano where he teaches Christian and Medieval Archaeology. His research interests focus on building processes and construction techniques in the late antique East. Julia Steding is Research Assistant is the School of Culture and Society, Aarhus University. Develops and expands current research into the concept of economic circularity, whereby societies reduce waste by recycling, reusing, and repairing raw materials and finished products.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dating Urban Classical Deposits: Approaches and problems in using finds to date strata considers the issues surrounding the dating of archaeological strata on the basis of the assemblages recovered from them. This process is one of the most common processes in archaeology, yet it is still poorly structured theoretically, methodologically and operatively. No manuals specifically tackle the issue as a whole and consideration of useful theoretical and methodological tools is fragmentary. This book has been developed to try to correct this failing; it is based on the idea that for dating a given layer through the materials recovered from it, the embedding process of the materials must be modelled.The book reviews the present state of archaeological practice and follows this with a theoretical discussion of the key concepts involved in the issue of dating deposits; the main methodological tools which can be employed (quantitative, qualitative and comparative) are then discussed in detail. The text presents a problem-oriented taxonomy of deposits, with depositional models for assessing how different assemblages can be analysed for dating; each type of deposit is accompanied by case studies where the methodological tools used are explained. Finally, a structured working method is proposed.The topic of dating deposits crosses the chronological and spatial borders of many archaeologies, but the book focusses on Classical cities (particularly Roman), as they present specific traits (continuous occupation, high rates of residuality, high impact architecture, waste management etc.) making them unique fields for study.

Condizione: NEW. Roma: Edizioni Quasar, 2024 9788854914247 Scavi di Aquileia 2 3809 3 v. (1116 p.) : ill. col. b/n, tavole, indice, bibliografia ; 30 cm. Aquileia. Fondi Cossar 2. La domus di Tito Macro e le mura raccoglie e illustra i risultati degli scavi archeologici condotti dall'Università di Padova in un quartiere della città romana di Aquileia fra il 2009 e il 2015. Il volume si compone di tre tomi, che ripercorrono le vicende storico-architettoniche di un settore urbano caratterizzato dalla presenza di un vasto isolato abitativo, di due assi stradali e di un tratto delle mura difensive di età repubblicana. In questo contesto, particolare interesse riveste la grande casa ad atrio denominata domus di Tito Macro, realizzata all'inizio del I secolo a.C. e oggetto di continue trasformazioni fino alla prima metà del VI secolo d.C.: si tratta della prima casa romana interamente indagata ad Aquileia, che raggiunse in età imperiale l'estensione di 1260 mq. L'opera è corredata di numerose immagini e di tavole con piante, sezioni e diagrammi stratigrafici. Oltre all'analisi e all'interpretazione delle sequenze stratigrafiche e dei resti monumentali, ampio spazio è dedicato anche ad approfondimenti tematici e alla presentazione degli interventi di copertura e di valorizzazione della domus messi in atto dalla Fondazione Aquileia.
