Description
Transition periods are all the fashion in Historical Science and Research. The present book offers a perfect opportunity to show how this transformation caused by political changes affected trade, economy and everyday life up to the change of urbanism and architecture in a large city connected to the Adriatic. “Retracing late Roman and early Byzantine Dyrrachium (Albania). Stratified contexts and their contents” will figure among the basic standard references on the topic.
The author is able to use any information provided, without getting lost in details nor giving them an excessive importance over other sources.
The most innovative approach can be located in the comprehensive material study following the main contexts instead of the traditional typologically based investigation. This is only seconded by the fact that “understanding excavated structures” and inserting “Dyrrachium in the dynamics of Adriatic economic trends” to recognize “some patterns of trade and economy at Dyrrachium” is done by a pottery specialist and not a pure academic Historian.
The conclusive remarks provide a prime example of how the interpretation of archaeological fieldwork can arrive to reach issues in ancient economy and trade. Moreover, they provide a case study how transformation in culture and society over some four centuries come to light when combined with older evidence and newest international research.
