The recycling and reuse of materials and objects were extensive in
the past, but have rarely been embedded into models of the economy;
even more rarely has any attempt been made to address the scale of
these practices. Recent developments, including the use of large
datasets, computational modelling, and high-resolution analytical
chemistry are increasingly offering the means to reconstruct
recycling and reuse, and even to approach the thorny issue of
quantification. This volume is the first to bring together these
new approaches, and the first to present a consideration of
recycling and reuse in the Roman economy, taking into account a
range of materials and using a variety of methodological
approaches. It presents integrated, cross-referential evidence for
the recycling and reuse of textiles, papyrus, statuary and building
materials, amphorae, metals, and glass, and examines significant
questions about organization, value, and the social meaning of
recycling.
