Roman Archaeology for Historians provides students of Roman history
with a guide to the contribution of archaeology to the study of
their subject. It discusses the issues with the use of material and
textual evidence to explain the Roman past, and the importance of
viewing this evidence in context. It also surveys the different
approaches to the archaeological material of the period and
examines key themes that have shaped Roman archaeology. At the
heart of the book lies the question of how archaeological material
can be interpreted and its relevance for the study of ancient
history. It includes discussion of the study of landscape change,
urban topography, the economy, the nature of cities, new approaches
to skeletal evidence and artefacts in museums. Along the way,
readers gain access to new findings and key sites - many of which
have not been discussed in English before and many, for which,
access may only be gained from technical reports. Roman Archaeology
for Historians provides an accessible guide to the development of
archaeology as a discipline and how the use of archaeological
evidence of the Roman world can enrich the study of ancient
history, while at the same time encouraging the integration of
material evidence into the study of the period's history. This work
is a key resource for students of ancient history, and for those
studying the archaeology of the Roman period.
