In history we tend to look at the big things - the battles, the baddies, the plot and the intrigue - but sometimes it's the average and the everyday which impress most, giving us the tiniest of glimpses into the lives of the long dead.

We can listen to a song written some 1900 years ago (The Song of Seikilos for all interested), read the words of a lovestruck Pompeian ("I don't want to sell my husband, not for all the gold in the world." Pompeian graffiti), and perhaps most importantly for the purposes of this blog, we can eat what they ate.

Why 'Pass the Garum'?

Garum was a fermented fish sauce which the Romans loved to put in EVERYTHING. So, much as we might say 'pass the salt', a Roman might ask their toga-clad chum to 'pass the garum'.

Why food history?

I love food, and enjoy cooking.  I also love history - I did my degree in Ancient History, and now teach everything else.  So, why not combine the two and make something of it?  Besides that, I like the little extra insight it gives me into the people of the past.

What food will you work with?

I am going to start with primarily Roman cuisine - it was Roman food and Roman recipes which got me interested in the topic after all.  Once I run out of Roman recipes, I'll set sail and explore the rest of the ancient Mediterranean.

But, the Romans didn't have fan ovens!

One of the major challenges of recreating historical recipes is in staying true to the original.  There are several problems:

1. The recipes are very, very vague!  They almost never include timings, and very rarely tell us how much to put in.
2. When they DO give measurements they are in 'quadrantals' or 'sextarii' or some other equally extinct method of measurement.
3. The ingredients can be difficult to come by (rue, spelt flour, cow brain, dormice) or just downright dangerous (lead salt anyone?)
4. Equipment.  As much as I'd like to cook in a brick oven, it's just not possible.

I aim to stay as true to the original recipes as possible, capturing the essence of the food if nothing else.  Rather than using a blender, I have a trusty mortar and pestle to pound my ingredients.  Where measurements aren't given, I'll use ratios or just go by what feels right.  When a recipe calls for an unusual ingredient, I'll try to get as close to that as is possible.

And with that, it's off to the kitchen!  Get in touch and tell me what you like, what you don't, and what you'd want to see me do.  If you come across any particularly quirky recipes, don't hesitate to get in touch.

  Les « religions orientales » dans le monde grec et romain

Sous la direction de Corinne Bonnet et Jörg Rüpke

FrançaisDeutsch

La catégorie des "religions orientales" appartient au contexte épistémologique et culturel du début du XX^e siècle. Aujourd'hui, l'étude de la diffusion des cultes étrangers et de leur insertion dans le tissu cultuel grec et romain doit plutôt se faire en termes d'intégration et d'interaction, en rapport avec la question des identités culturelles et religieuses dans un monde multiethnique et multiculturel. Le regard se porte sur divers niveaux de pénétration et de visibilité de ces cultes, sur diverses stratégies d'appropriation, ainsi que sur les deux directions des échanges culturels – d'Est en Ouest, et d'Ouest en Est.

Terra Incognita, Annual Review of Archaeological Master Research in Flanders (Belgium) publiceert recent masteronderzoek uit de drie Vlaamse archeologie-opleidingen.

Terra Incognita heeft als doel het ontsluiten van het masteronderzoek dat plaatsvindt aan de drie archeologiedepartementen die Vlaanderen rijk is. Jaarlijks wordt aan pas afgestudeerde studenten Archeologie van de Universiteit Gent, de Vrije Universiteit Brussel en de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven de mogelijkheid geboden hun thesisonderzoek in een artikel te gieten en op die manier aan de bredere archeologische gemeenschap kenbaar te maken.

Auteurs worden van nabij begeleid in het voorbereiden van wat doorgaans hun eerste wetenschappelijke publicatie is. De redactie bestaat uit jonge archeologen, deels verbonden aan een van de universiteiten. Ook redactiemedewerkers worden gerecruteerd onder recent afgestudeerden, om zo steeds nieuwe mensen ervaring te laten opdoen en de continuïteit  van het tijdschrift te garanderen.

Naast de uitgebreide artikels publiceert Terra Incognita ook in elk volume een lijst met de titels en auteurs van alle in het afgelopen academiejaar neergelegde archeologische masterscripties.

Vol 6 (2015): academiejaar 2009-2010

Vol 5 (2012): academiejaar 2008-2009

The Center for Hellenic Studies is pleased to announce the online publication of Helots and The Masters in Laconia and Messenia: Histories, Ideologies, Structures, eds. Nino Luraghi and Susan E. Alcock, on the CHS website.

The name “Helots” evokes one of the most famous peculiarities of ancient Sparta, the system of dependent labor that guaranteed the livelihood of the free citizens. The Helots fulfilled all the functions that slaves carried out elsewhere in the Greek world, allowing their masters the leisure to be full-time warriors. Yet, despite their crucial role, Helots remain essentially invisible in our ancient sources and peripheral and enigmatic in modern scholarship.

This book is devoted to a much-needed reassessment of Helotry and of its place in the history and sociology of unfree labor. The essays deal with the origins and historical development of Helotry, with its sociological, economic, and demographic aspects, with its ideological construction and negotiation.

Susan E. Alcock writes on the introductory chapter of this volume:

It is unlikely that the helots will ever shed that quality of Rorschach test, and indeed it might be a shame, given their evocative history, that they ever should. Still, this volume directs us towards new ways of analyzing and of envisioning these people. In part, this involves the nature of our questions: accepting our lack of detail about helots and helot life should discourage grand and totalizing narratives. Instead, the way forward seems to be through encouragement of alternative methodologies, such as the use of comparative data sets or of archaeology, to unpick more nuanced questions, in more localized fashions. Perhaps most fundamental of all is the need to reconsider our own starting assumptions, to grant the helots both capacities and hopes that the usual suspects of our sources have steadfastly denied to them.

Such reconsideration—recasting the terms of debate about helots and helotage— was the point of the original workshop organized by the editors, and remains the point of this volume. It is certainly a methodological puzzle. It is inescapably a political challenge. It is arguably a moral obligation.

Nino Luraghi is Professor of the Classics at Harvard University.
Susan E. Alcock is John H. D’Arms Collegiate Professor of Classical Archaeology and Classics at the University of Michigan.

The Oxford Roman Economy Project is a research project based in the Faculty of Classics, at the University of Oxford. The project, lead by Prof. Alan Bowman and Prof. Andrew Wilson, was originally funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council for the period from October 2005 to end September 2010, but additional funding through the generosity of Baron Lorne Thyssen now allows it to continue until the end of 2012.

The research programme addresses the fundamentals of the Roman imperial economy and analyses all major economic activities (including agriculture, trade, commerce, and extraction), utilising quantifiable bodies of archaeological and documentary evidence and placing them in the broader structural context of regional variation, distribution, size and nature of markets, supply and demand. The project mainly focuses on the period between100 BC and AD 300, including the era of greatest imperial expansion and economic growth (to c.AD 200), followed by a century conventionally perceived as one of contraction or decline. Geographically, the project draws on material selected from all over the Mediterranean world. A more detailed description of the aims and methods of the project can be found here

The large amounts of data that are studied during the project, which mostly already have been published in some form or another, are stored and organized in a large database, which is currently being made accessible online to the wider scholarly community through this website.

Integral part of the project is a series of conferences, which take place roughly each year and addresses specific aspects of the economy, such as urbanization (2007), agriculture (2008), trade (2009), and metals, mining and coinage (2010). Moreover, in connection with the Oxford Roman Economy Project, Oxford University Press has agreed to inaugurate a series of publications under the general title Oxford Studies on the Roman Economy (OSRE), edited by the two project directors.

Coinage and the Roman Economy in the Antonine Period: the view from Egypt	10-10-2013
Christopher Howgego, Kevin Butcher, Matthew Ponting, and Volker Heuchert
The Antonine period and the Antonine period in Egypt in particular have become central to current studies of the Roman economy. There is the debate between Wilson and Scheidel about whether per capita Roman economic growth continued throughout the first two centuries AD or stagnated already from the Augustan period. There is also Rathbone’s study of Egyptian prices, the only useable series from anywhere in the Empire, which sees the doubling between AD 160 and 190 as the only significant change between AD 45 and AD 274/5. This picture underpins an important paper by Temin on the causes of inflation in the Roman World in general.

Quantification of fish-salting infrastructure capacity in the Roman world	21-03-2007
Andrew Wilson
The Roman empire saw extensive export of salted fish, and the sauces derived from them – garum, liquamen, muria and allec - were used widely in cooking, acting as a flavour enhancer. Several amphora types used for salted fish or for derivative sauces have been identified, especially from Spain and Morocco, and are widely distributed. However, a relative lack of work on amphorae carrying fish products made elsewhere in the Roman world hampers attempts to track the development of trade in salted fish in any quantitative manner. In addition, some regions which produced salted fish seem to have exported it in barrels, which are much less archaeologically durable.

The uptake of mechanical technology in the ancient world: the water-mill	28-02-2007
Andrew Wilson
The water-mill is one of the earliest examples of human efforts to harness natural forces to do mechanical work, and stands as the ancestor of a long line of machines. Water-milling greatly increased per capita productivity in the time-consuming and widely needed grinding of grain into flour, and enabled greater specialisation in labour, with the water-miller (molendinarius) emerging as a separate figure from the miller-baker (pistor) of the earlier Roman period. The spread and uptake of the water-mill is therefore important to questions of economic development and the relationship of capital investment in technology to economic growth (Wilson 2002).

Quantifying Egyptian Evidence for Transport	18-10-2007
Colin Adams
As we know, the papyri of Egypt offer the historian of the ancient economy valuable evidence for a wide range of issues. One such central issue is transport, and it is problematic – Peter Brunt described it as’ the greatest failure of ancient technology’. The primitivist approach to the economy, advocated most vigorously by Finley, Jones, Duncan-Jones and others, holds that trade and transport was held back by two main factors: firstly, a lack of incentive to trade due to regions having the same needs and surpluses, and secondly, the high cost of transport – especially by land. Using the evidence of Roman agronomists and the costs of transport established by Diocletian’s Edict of Maximal Prices, Jones stated that it was ‘cheaper to ship grain from one end of the Mediterranean to the other than to cart it 75 miles’. The cost of transporting a mill 25 miles was 11% of its value, rising to 39% for 75 miles (Cato, Agr. 22. 3). Pliny’s well-known letter (Ep. 10. 41) on transport in Nicomedia makes the higher cost of land transport over water seem clear. Any attempt to challenge these ideas was met with force: in Brunt’s review, he criticizes Alison Burford’s paper on the transport of bulky goods, saying: ‘she merely showed what governments could do, regardless of cost, for defence, prestige or piety; it was no more possible for private entrepreneurs to emulate them than for IBM to put men on the moon’.

The Bronze and Iron Ages marked the emergence and development of early state ordered civilizations in the ancient Near East. Research has documented the introduction of urban institutions, and the development of specialized craft industries and extensive inter regional trade networks. To examine these developments on a truly regional level, however, local cultural sequences must be well documented, and a precise chronological framework in place; criteria that are lacking for much of the ancient Near East. The Ta‛yinat Archaeological Project (TAP) seeks to address this problem for a pivotal area, by returning to the cultural sequence first defined during the pioneering work of the Braidwood led Chicago Expedition in the 1930s to the Amuq Plain in southeastern Turkey. This research initiative will result in a more thorough and refined cultural sequence, enhancing efforts to conduct broader regional analyses of developments during this period of dramatic social, economic and political change.

The Ta’yinat Archaeological Project’s primary aim is to assemble archaeological data from the central settlement at Tell Ta‛yinat of a succession of prominent, historically-attested Bronze and Iron Age polities for comparison with existing data sets from comparable contexts (e.g. domestic, residential, administrative, or public) at rural village sites in the region. This explicitly regional approach, still relatively rare in Near Eastern Archaeology, is designed to facilitate multiple levels of analysis, and to produce the multivariate data needed to engage in more systematic investigations of the complex social, economic and political institutions developed by the first urban communities to emerge in this part of the world...

Aims

NU Digital Heritage seeks to promote and communicate the value of the past by increasing access to the archaeology and material culture of Hadrian's Wall for those that cannot always experience it directly.

History & Vision

NU Digital Heritage was founded by Prof Ian Haynes and Dr Rob Collins at Newcastle University in 2014 through support of the Higher Education Innovation Fund.

Teaching and research in Archaeology at Newcastle University has always benefitted from access to fine collections from great museums and sites in the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site, and new technology offers novel ways for both students and enthusiasts to engage with the remains of the past.

Significantly, the growth of 3D capture and print technology allows us to share the world class archaeology with the rest of the world!

Classical Reception Studies is a rapidly developing field of research. There is a growing number of new scholars investigating issues of reception of classical texts, ideas, performance, and material culture across different cultural contexts and in different media.

This ejournal site aims to provide a showcase for scholars who have reached the stage where they wish to publish the results of their research. We particularly encourage research that crosses discipline boundaries.

Papers contributed to the site will be subject to peer review before they can be accepted for publication. Comments from the anonymous reviewers and editors will be made available to authors whether or not their papers are accepted for publication. Refereed publications are of course of particular importance to those starting out on an academic career or those feeling their way in an academic area of research outside their usual discipline.

Readers' responses will be welcomed and will be passed to the originating author
We aim to publish annually in the Summer

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews began publication in January 2002.  It is entirely devoted to publishing substantive, high-quality book reviews (normal length: 1500-2500 words).  Reviews continually appear, usually five to twelve in the course of each week. 

Our goal is to review a good majority of the scholarly philosophy books issued each year and to have the review appear within six to twelve months of a book's publication. Reviews are commissioned and vetted by a distinguished international Editorial Board.  We do not accept unsolicited reviews or proposals to review. The journal is published only electronically (available free, through e-mail subscription, RSS feed, and on this website).

Welcome to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP). From its inception, the SEP was designed so that each entry is maintained and kept up-to-date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, our dynamic reference work maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research. You can cite fixed editions that are created on a quarterly basis and stored in our Archives (every entry contains a link to its complete archival history, identifying the fixed edition the reader should cite). The Table of Contents lists entries that are published or assigned. The Projected Table of Contents also lists entries which are currently unassigned but nevertheless projected.

FINAL PROGRAM NOW AVAILABLE: Mobilizing the Past Final Program (PDF)

Organizers: Erin Walcek Averett (Creighton University), Derek Counts (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Jody Gordon (Wentworth Institute of Technology), and Michael K. Toumazou (Davidson College)

This two-day, NEH-sponsored workshop brings together pioneers in archaeology and computing to discuss the use, creation, and implementation of mobile tablet technology to advance digital archaeology, i.e., fully digital recording systems to create born-digital data in the field. Session themes are aimed at facilitating presentation, demonstration, and discussion on how archaeologists around the world use tablets or other digital tools in the field and lab and how best practices can be implemented across projects. The workshop highlights the advantages and future of mobile computing and its challenges and limitations. The workshop consists of formal paper sessions and opportunities for informal discussion of the issues and themes at moderated discussions, demonstrations, round tables, and speaker meals. The workshop’s goal is to synthesize current practices and establish a blueprint for creating best practices and moving forward with mobile tablets in archaeology.

Oriental Archive is a general journal dealing with the Oriental and African studies in the broad sense. It has been continuously in print since its founding in 1929.

Starting with the volume 79 (2011), the Journal appears triannually.

We publish articles dealing with the history, religion and languages of the relevant Oriental and African cultures. We strongly believe that a general journal with a long and respectful tradition, such as ours, is an important complement to a list of specialized journals. We deliberately try to challenge the current trend of hyper-specialization common in some domains of Oriental studies, emphasizing the necessity of thematic and regional contextualization, particularly in the fields that are new or less frequent. Emphasis upon the preservation of a forum for Oriental and African studies serving largely (but not exclusively) the needs of the European authors, notably the junior scholars among them, and the European academic audience is another important aspect of our editorial policy.

While English is our preferred language, we simultaneously publish articles and book reviews in French and German. Non-native speakers of these languages are provided with proofreading facilities for free!

Unlike some big publishing houses, we still adhere to the tenets of good old-fashioned partnership between the editor and the author, namely the personal contact and the state of the art reproduction of a variety of fonts and characters in accordance with the authors' wishes.

All articles submitted to the journal are peer-reviewed anonymously.

The West Semitic Research Project is an academic project affiliated with the University of Southern California School of Religion and directed by Dr. Bruce Zuckerman. For the past 32 years WSRP has used advanced photographic and computer imaging techniques to document objects and texts from the ancient world. In doing this we have built a vast collection of images that we are now making available to scholars, students, educators and the general public through a variety of ways. Leningrad Codex Bruce Zuckerman and Marilyn Lundberg photographing the Leningrad Codex in the Russian National Library (Saltkov-Shchedrin) as part of a joint project between West Semitic Research and the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center in Claremont, California. 

WSRP was started in the early 1980s by Bruce Zuckerman and his brother Kenneth. Bruce, a scholar and teacher of the Bible and ancient Semitic languages, was frustrated by the lack of good photographs of important ancient inscriptions. With the help of his brother, Ken, he set out to remedy the situation.

The study of ancient writing is called epigraphy. In this field it has been typical of scholars who read ancient texts to do their own reading, produce a drawing of the text and publish the drawing, translation and transcription as the main tool for study. Photographs, if provided, can rarely be used for study. The reason is that the photographs are either taken by scholars who know little about photography, or by photographers who cannot read what they are looking at and so may miss important data.

The most important principle that governs the work of the WSRP is the combining of good photography with knowledge of the scripts and languages. We believe in training scholars to be good photographers, or at least encouraging them to work closely with photographers to get the best possible results.

The PeriodO project is creating a gazetteer of scholarly assertions about the spatial and temporal extents of historical, art-historical, and archaeological periods. This gazetteer will ease the task of linking among datasets that define periods differently. It will also help scholars and students see where period definitions overlap or diverge. In the long term, it may also help researchers to assign temporal coordinates to documents that use undefined period terms.
