"A memoir of travels by an eminent archaeologist and historian"-- "'You must be very patient, ' most everyone asserts admiringly on encountering an archaeologist. Patience in the pursuit of history instantly earns consideration. Patience to sift through the soil to discover treasure, from gold to unidentifiable knick-knacks--an educated beachcomber. But, patience does not come into it so much as the chemistry of experiences from being in the company of others as the five senses are provoked and satisfied by the buried unexpected. Archaeology is about hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching past textures in our time. With these senses, in the company of friends, new places are created from old ones. Travel with archaeologist and writer Richard Hodges as he explores sites across the globe and ponders the relationship of the individual with the past and the present of the past in its ruins, monuments and hidden traces of long-distant worlds and civilisations"--

This engaging and well-illustrated volume describes the excavations of a large urban sector, the so-called Triconch Palace, of the Adriatic seaport of Butrint. In so doing it adds to the new paradigm for the development of Roman towns in the Mediterranean. The book traces the changing nature of this rich and varied area - from 2nd-century Roman townhouses, to a 4th-century elite domus, to a Mid Byzantine trading area to late medieval allotments - and reveals the rhythms of Butrint and its Mediterranean connections. This is accompanied by discussions of the elaborate mosaic decoration of the pa

Cet ouvrage regroupe les actes d’un colloque organisé par la Casa de Velázquez, à Madrid, au mois de mars 2004 sous le titre Desde la Tarraconense hast a la Marca Superior de al-Andalus (ss. IV-XI). Il s’agit là du premier volet d’une série intitulée villa dont le champ de recherche couvre l’ensemble de la vallée de l’Ebre et la période des siècles dits obscurs. L’objectif de cette réunion visait à regrouper des universitaires et des chercheurs des deux côtés de la chaîne pyrénéenne pour éclairer la question controversée de la transition de l’Antiquité tardive au Moyen Âge, Au-delà de la diversité des exemples abordés, en Navarre, en Aragon comme en Catalogne, les séances ont permis de dégager des points communs dans l’étude du peuplement rural, tel que le poids du déclin démographique des ve-vie siècles, l’existence d’un habitat dispersé avant l’an mil, la fréquence des sépultures taillées dans la roche et surtout, avant la grande mutation du xe siècle, le faible rôle du château dans l’organisation de l’espace et la structuration du peuplement, Malgré les bouleversements entraînés par la conquête musulmane au début du viiie siècle, on retiendra surtout qu’il convient d’étudier cette période non plus en termes de fin du monde antique ou de prémices du Moyen Âge mais en soi et pour soi, comme un moment particulier, depuis la crise de la villa jusqu’à l’essor de l’incastellamento.
