This book surveys a variety of themes relating to the late antique
countryside. It covers social and economic life, the archaeology of
pilgrimage and the fate of rural temples, villas, monasteries and
landscape change. There is a special section on rural survey in
Turkey, a region of the Roman empire for which our knowledge of the
countryside is poor. A bibliographic essay, on the rural
archaeology of the entire empire, provides an excellent
introduction to the volume and to the subject as a whole. Essays
range from Northern Gaul to Egypt and draw on many sources: from
papyrology and epigraphy to field survey and paleobotany. A complex
picture of differing regional trajectories emerges, whilst cultural
change is everywhere apparent, in phenomena such as
Christianisation, settlement nucleation and fortification.
Contributors include Beat Brenk, Beatrice Caseau, Douglas Baird,
Archie Dunn, Etienne Louis, Fabio Saggioro, John Mitchell, Joseph
Patrich, Lynda Mulvin, Carla Sfameni, Marcus Rautman, Peter Sarris,
Frank Trombley, Joanita Vroom and Marc Waelkens.
