This study uses artefact distribution analyses to investigate the
activities that took place inside early Roman imperial military
bases. Focusing especially on non-combat activities, it explores
the lives of families and other support personnel who are widely
assumed to have inhabited civilian settlements outside the
fortification walls. Spatial analyses, in GIS-type environments,
are used to develop fresh perspectives on the range of people who
lived within the walls of these military establishments, the
various industrial, commercial, domestic and leisure activities in
which they and combat personnel were involved, and the
socio-spatial organisation of these activities and these
establishments. The book includes examples of both legionary
fortresses and auxiliary forts from the German provinces to
demonstrate that more material-cultural approaches to the artefact
assemblages from these sites give greater insights into how these
military communities operated and demonstrate the problems of
ascribing functions to buildings without investigating the full
material record.
