This book contains thirteen papers on Roman archaeology from the
tenth Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference in London. The TRAC
conference was held in April 2000, at the Institute of Archaeology
and was divided into five different sessions. In the opening
session, Representing Romans, the methodology of portraying the
Romans to the wider world was explored. David Clarke and Fraser
Hunter's paper outlines the challenge of designing appropiate
gallery displays for the new National Museum of Scotland. In his
paper, Francis Grew discusses the development of Roman London.
Garrick Fincham's paper discusses the threat of overwhelming
military intervention by the imperial power in colonial
negotiations. Issues of ethnicity, gender, class and occupation
within the later Roman army are addressed here. Miranda Green's
paper presents an important discussion of the nature of human/stag
hybrids in Iron Age and Gallo-Roman iconography, and Gillian Hawkes
presents an analysis of food procurement and preparation
encountered in Roman Britain. Gilly Carr considers the role of body
decoration and grooming, arguing that individuals in different
areas of south eastern Roman Britain made different cultural
choices to structure their ethnic identities. The final set of
papers focused on Constructing Childhood in the Roman World,
reconsidering some long-standing truisms regarding the status and
treatment of children in the Roman context. John Pearce examines
Roman infant burial and the role religion plays in burial ceremony.
