Unpacking Roman trade: A quantitative study of amphora circulation in the Western provinces
Ceramic amphorae provide clues to the movement of foodstuffs within the Roman Empire and can therefore act as a useful proxy for economic productivity. Here, the authors present the results of a large-scale quantitative analysis of amphora frequency data from 254 excavations conducted across the Western Roman provinces. By examining the distribution of 20 of the most common amphora types, which primarily served as olive-oil, garum and wine contai…
Olive-oil amphorae imports in Roman Britain: 20 Years Later
Pedro Pablo A. Funari carried out research in amphora studies in Roman Britain in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was interested in the epigraphy (painted inscriptions and stamps) on the most common amphora in the Isles, which was the Baetican Dressel 20. His scholarship supposed an important change in the way amphorae were studied in the United Kingdom and influenced later scholars and research. The present paper attempts to overview his cont…
Herrera de Pisuerga, un gran centro importador del Noroeste peninsular. La evidencia de las ánforas de San Millán
La variedad y la cantidad de las ánforas halladas en el yacimiento de San Millán lo convierten en la excavación con la mayor densidad de este tipo de restos documentada hasta ahora en el conjunto arqueológico de Herrera de Pisuerga, en la provincia de Palencia. Este estudio muestra la rica variedad de sus tipos –con un predominio de los contenedores vinarios sobre los dedicados al transporte de salazones y aceite–, así como de sus lugares de proc…
Impact of accessibility and saturation of the Roman transport network in the urban development of the Iberian Peninsula
Conquista romana da Hispânia Citerior: Um modelo teórico a partir da Arqueologia
A conquista romana da Península Ibérica, e mais precisamente do território que viria a ser a província da Hispânia Citerior, tem suscitado um interesse particular nos últimos anos. Intervenções arqueológicas preencheram uma lacuna no conhecimento da atividade militar dos séculos II-I a.C., que basicamente só era conhecida através de fontes antigas. Graças ao trabalho contínuo de várias equipas de investigação, temos atualmente um panorama complet…

The Roman Republican castellum of Puig Castellar (Biosca): The earliest evidence for military headquarters in Hispania Citerior (180–120 BCE)
This paper illustrates the results of research carried out at the archaeological site of Puig Castellar de Biosca (Catalonia, Spain), located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. This Republican military fortress, a castellum, is exceptional due both to its early chronology, which ranges between 180 and 120 BCE, and to the fact that it acted as a long-lasting military installation situated in a pacified area on the periphery of the Celtiber…
The Role of Politics in the Historical Transport Networks of the Iberian Peninsula and the Pyrenees from Roman Times to the Nineteenth Century
Transport routes are basic elements that are inextricably linked to diverse political, economic, and social factors. Transport networks may be the cause or result of complex historical conjunctions that reflect to some extent a structural conception of the political systems that govern each territory. It is for this reason that analyzing the evolution of the transport routes layout in a wide territory allows us to recognize the role of the politi…
Land transport in mountainous regions in the Roman Empire: Network analysis in the case of the Alps and Pyrenees
Methods of Palaeodemography: The Case of the Iberian Oppida and Roman Cities in North‐East Spain
Ancient demography is a recurrent topic in archaeology, thanks to new methods and evidence from different surveys and excavations. However, different cultures or periods are studied on their own, without any comparison being made between them and of their population dynamics. The present paper seeks to advance the situation by defining methodologies to allow diachronic comparisons between two different periods and cultures. After setting out a me…
Behind the steps of ancient sheep mobility in Iberia: New Insights From a Geometric Morphometric Approach
Las ánforas de Brindisi en Hispania Citerior. Pautas de distribución y consumo
La presencia del ejército romano republicano en la Hispania Citerior ha sido difícil de reconocer en el pasado debido al error en la interpretación de algunos yacimientos y la falta de investigación sobre el tema. En los últimos años, se han realizado nuevas investigaciones sobre yacimientos romanos republicanos identificando pequeñas fortificaciones militares y asentamientos civiles itálicos relacionados con el ejército. Uno de los fósiles direc…
El diseño urbano de la regio IV de Complutum (Alcalá de Henares). Estudios a partir de la prospección geofísica
Se presenta la investigación realizada sobre la traza urbana de la regio IV de la ciudad romana de Complutum. Se realiza una prospección eléctrica acompañada por el estudio de algunos restos excavados recientemente y de la documentación procedente de excavaciones del siglo XIX. Como resultado, ha sido posible generar una nueva propuesta de diseño urbano para la regio IV, basada en una trama ortogonal de insulae de 30x30 m, e identificar diversas …
Registro para la cuantificación de cerámica arqueológica: Estado de la cuestión y una nueva propuesta. Protocolo de Sevilla (PRCS/14)
We introduce here a new quantification proposal in protohistoric and classical pottery studies. The proposal also includes the way of representation of such analytics with the aim of making homogeneous diagnostic, analysis and publication models of any kind of ceramic material disregarding their nature. Therefore, it can be useful for either stratigraphy assemblages or particular series. This standard attempts to improve data interconnection betw…
Le paysage social de la production vitivinicole dans l’ ager Barcinonensis: Esclaves, affranchis et institores
L’article analyse les formes de propriété de la terre dans la colonie du Barcino pendant la période du haut-empire , et sa relation avec la production vinicole et amphorique. L’étude a permis d’identifier la stratégie productive de quelques familles ( gentes ) de la colonie. La production amphorique a impliqué une grande mobilité sociale et territoriale. Il convient alors d’analyser dans ce “paysage social” le rôle qu’ont joué les esclaves et les…
The Roman Transport Network: A Precedent for the Integration of the European Mobility
In the last years, the use of geographical information systems has been common in many historical and geographical studies. Perhaps one of the least known applications is network analysis, a series of functions related to hydrology and mobility. Since 1994, researchers have used network analyses to understand costs and time expenditure in transportation in Roman times, with the aim of modeling commercial routes. Archaeological objects were employ…
Estado y mercado en el abastecimiento de bienes de consumo en el imperio romano: Un estudio de caso de la distribución de aceite español en Britannia
A medida que se iba avanzando en el estudio del comercio de aceite en Britannia y en la reconstrucción de los mecanismos de intercambio, aparecían una serie de interrogantes cuyas respuestas se alejaban de los planteamientos estrictamente económicos o políticos esgrimidos hasta entonces. En primer lugar, se había observado que la población a la que se destinaba preferentemente el aceite de oliva era militar y, por lo tanto, en buena parte de orig…
The Atlantic Roman Trade During the Principate: New Evidence From the Western Façade
In this paper new evidence is presented for long‐distance trade in the western Atlantic in the Roman period, chiefly from Augustus to the second century AD, on the basis of documented shipwrecks and numerous amphora types. Well‐dated contexts from northern Portugal and Spain, as well as similar sites in northern France and Germany, suggest a thriving trade of amphora‐borne commodities during the Principate. The Atlantic route was initially develo…

Techno-society at the service of memory institutions: Web 2.0 in museums
Social media have the potential to transform the museum visitor into an active participant involved in the creation of knowledge. Nevertheless, the application of the relatively new social computing concept to the cultural heritage sector faces many challenges. Consequently, a greater understanding of the features of the different communication channels and the new methods for measuring the success (or failure) of an exhibition is required. First…
La gens Licinia y el Nordeste peninsular. Una aproximación al estudio de las formas de propiedad y de gestión de un rico patrimonio familiar
En los últimos años, tanto el progreso de la arqueología del paisaje, como especialmente el de los estudios sobre la epigrafía de la producción, han contribuido a incrementar nuestro volumen de información, aunque ello no siempre ha ido acompañado de un progreso en la interpretación de los datos, es decir, en el estudio de las complejas formas de propiedad de la tierra y de la gestión de sus recursos en la Hispania romana. Creemos necesario, por …
