  • Nekromanteion sanctuary, Epirus

    Open AccessWilliam BowdenCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2022

    This entry describes the so‐called Nekromanteion sanctuary of Ephyra (the oracle of the dead), described by Herodotus, and the associated site on the Acheron river in Epirus in Greece. It is now considered more likely that the excavated remains belong to a fortified Hellenistic farmstead.

  • What is the role of the academic in community archaeology? The changing nature of volunteer participation at Caistor Roman town

    Open AccessWilliam BowdenARTICLEJournal of Community Archaeology…2020Cited by: 1References: 5

    This paper charts the long-term development of a community archaeology project at the Roman town of Venta Icenorum (UK), which started as community participation in a university research project and has ultimately developed into a more equal partnership between academia and the voluntary sector. The paper describes the changing nature of community participation over the 13-year arc of the project to date, and looks at the relationship between aca…

  • The Detection and Mapping of Saxon Sunken‐featured Buildings at Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk

    Open AccessDavid Bescoby, David J Bescoby et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    Strong archaeological evidence exists for the presence of Anglo‐Saxon settlement at the former Roman civitas capital Venta Icenorum , including two cemeteries of early Saxon date. A large‐scale magnetic survey west of the former walled town has revealed a complex palimpsest of surviving subsurface features, several of which were cautiously interpreted as the remains of Anglo‐Saxon sunken‐featured buildings (SFBs). Targeted earth resistance measur…

  • The Urban Plan of Venta Icenorum and its Relationship with the Boudican Revolt

    Open AccessWilliam BowdenARTICLEBritannia2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    The idea that the town of Venta Icenorum (Caistor-by-Norwich) was laid out in the early Flavian period, as part of the Roman reaction to the Boudican revolt, has become canonical in literature on Roman Britain. Drawing on the results of recent excavations, this paper re-evaluates the evidence relating to the establishment of the street grid and questions the idea that the town reflects a coherent act of urban planning. It concludes by arguing tha…

  • Epirus

    Open AccessWilliam B Bowden, William BowdenCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    The Epirus of antiquity was a region that lay at the heart of the Mediterranean, between the Greek and Roman worlds. It covered an area now divided between the modern states of Greece and Albania, stretching from the Akrokeraunian mountains in the north to the Ambrakian Gulf in the south, and bounded to the west by the Ionian Sea and to the east by the Pindos and Grammos mountain ranges. The region is dominated by mountain ranges that traverse th…

  • Magnetic survey at Venta Icenorum , Caistor St Edmund

    Open AccessDavid Bescoby, William Bowden et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2009Cited by: 2References: 6

    This short report summarizes two seasons of magnetic surveying at the Roman town of Venta Icenorum at Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk. Survey strategies have been developed utilizing caesium vapour magnetometers mounted on a wheeled platform with a global positioning system to map former areas of settlement and their immediate hinterlands. The resulting survey system has enabled the rapid collection of high‐resolution magnetic data over an area of 30 …

    William Bowden, Adam Gutteridge et al.BOOKSocial and Political Life in Late…2006

    This book examines a number of themes relating to social and political life in Late Antiquity. The first part of the book considers how the powers of the emperor, state and civic authorities were expressed in the phyiscal environment, and how coinage and material culture were caught up in the political life of the period. The second part investigates the "middle classes" and "the poor", who are often less visible in archaeological, textual and ep…

  • The Triconch Palace at Butrint

    William Bowden, John MitchellARTICLELate Antique Archaeology2006

    The Triconch Palace was first noted in the 1920s, when the Italian archaeological mission to Butrint interpreted a triapsidal building as una chiesa bizantina The interpretation of the building as a martyrium church was generally accepted until 1994 when it was recognised as the triclinium of a palatial Late Roman domus . From 1994 until 2003, the Triconch Palace and its surroundings were the subject of extensive open-area excavations revealing a…

  • The Construction of Identities in Post-Roman Albania

    William BowdenARTICLELate Antique Archaeology2003

    Late antique social structures in the provinces of Epirus Vetus and Epirus Nova, as represented by urban centres, ecclesiastical authority and Roman material culture, largely disappeared during the first half of the 7th c. Around this time the practice of furnished burial was adopted by sections of the population. This transition has traditionally been interpreted as reflecting an expression of ethnic identity on the part of an indigenous populat…
