Abstract

The essays collected in this volume apply an interdisciplinary approach to explore aspects of the relationship between animal and human in late antiquity. With a focus on ways that anthropozoological connections were defined in the emergent Christian religious discourse of the epoch, the authors contribute to our understanding of a thematic area largely neglected in previous research. Zu den Forschungstrends der jüngeren Vergangenheit zählt ohne Zweifel die kulturwissenschaftliche Untersuchung von Tier-Mensch-Beziehungen, doch werden Ansätze aus den Human-Animal Studies (HAS) in den Altertumswissenschaften - und hier insbesondere für den Bereich der sogenannten "Spätantike" - vergleichsweise selten fruchtbar gemacht. Aus philologisch-historischer Perspektive helfen die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes dabei, diese zu diagnostizierende Unausgewogenheit der chronologischen Fokussierung zu überwinden. Von den ersten Jahrhunderten bis zur Schwelle des Mittelalters bietet der Band Einblicke in das komplexe Verhältnis von Tier und Mensch und geht dabei der facettenreichen Frage nach, wo und auf welche Weise anthropozoologische Aspekte in der zunehmend christlich werdenden spätantiken Welt zum Gegenstand der Reflexion werden konnten.

Abstract

Excavations at Chester. Roman land division and a probable villa in the hinterland of Deva reports on excavations carried out by Northern Archaeological Associates (NAA) at Saighton Camp - a former British Army training camp - located to the south of the Roman legionary fortress of Chester (Deva Victrix) which revealed important and extensive Roman period remains. Part of a high-status settlement of second- to fourth-century date, together with a regular field system laid out over more than 20 hectares, were encountered.

The excavated settlement appears to be an ancillary area to a much larger site, the centre of which lies to the south and is believed to be a villa. This is the closest such site to Chester, and villas are notably rare in the region. The field system was probably laid out by the legion at Deva as part of the prata legionis, agricultural lands they controlled around the fortress.

Abstract

Cities, Monuments and Objects in the Roman and Byzantine Levant celebrates Gabriel Mazor and his lifetime of work at the monumental city of Nysa-Scythopolis, Bet Sheʼan Baysān. This metropolis, part of the storied Decapolis, or league of ten cities, that flourished during the Hellenistic, Roman-Byzantine and very early Islamic periods until the devastating earthquake of AD 748, has been the singular focus of Gabi Mazor for a generation. The excavations, conservation and reconstruction at the site, and the detailed publications all are deserving of praise and appreciation.

Chapters by leading archaeologists in Israel and the Levant explore themes and sites, in most cases by the chief archaeologists themselves, providing the latest information and insights about cities and villages from the Hellenistic to early Islamic periods across the region. This rare assemblage of scholars offers new material and interpretations of many of the key archaeological sites active today. The result is a rich trove of up-to-date data and insights that will be a must read for scholars and students active in this part of the ancient Mediterranean world.
