Ecosystemic Practice-Research (for the Benefit of Others)
This writing is about the relationships between artistic processes, artistic works, and how we might frame these as practice research. It has two aims: 1) to describe when artistic processes are framed as practice research through written forms, and the implications of this timing; and ii) to propose that our responsibility as practice researchers is to draw our work deeply into dialogue with other artistic work that exists in tangible ecosystems…
Lithium dancing (hidden in plain sight)
In this article I explore screendance’s affair with social media, and the logics of production and consumption endemic to dancing for and with smartphones. I use an incidental encounter with two people making a dance video to try and make sense of the ways in which screendance practices and practitioners are being changed by social media technologies. The writing is built on the work of Harmony Bench, Shoshana Zuboff, Alan Jacobs, Zygmunt Bauman,…

Anamnesis (remembered)
Anamnesis (remembered) remembers, constructs and questions aspects of Anamnesis — a screendance project exploring memory and loss that I initiated and developed in collaboration with Cormac Lally, Bagryana Popov and David Corbet. The writing covers four aspects of the project's development and form-content: (1) the beginnings of the project; (2) a discussion of the collaborative processes used in the development of Anamnesis, in particular the us…

Middle Class Houses in Late Antiquity
The concept of the “middle class” is a modern invention, but it can be applied in archaeology to identify housing between that of the aristocracy and the lowest level of domestic architecture in a settlement. Applying this concept suggests that late antique craftsmen and professionals aspired to an aristocratic lifestyle by adopting elements of aristocratic architecture. There are indications that the middle classes increased their influence in L…
Shedding Light on Late Roman Housing
Lighting was an important element in the design and use of late antique housing. Daylight was channeled through windows and doorways, but important social activity also took place at dawn and after dark when artificial lighting was required, and commonly used. Modern IT techniques, particularly the use of ray-tracing, allow conclusions to be drawn about the way that lighting was used in houses. Lighting was used to create a theatrical atmosphere …

Classical Reception Rooms in Romano-British Houses
The object of this paper is to examine the introduction of classical reception facilities into Romano-British houses. This will provide new interpretations of the functions of rooms in some Romano-British villas. It will also enable us to make some observations concerning the changing behaviour patterns of the British elite. It is hypothesised that by the late antique period reception facilities and associated social behaviour were as those found…
The Kasserine Archaeological Survey. 1987 [Institut national d'archéologie et d'art de Tunisie- University of Virginia, USA ]: Institut national d'archéologie et d'art de Tunisie- University of Virgin…
In 1987 fieldwork was continued in Sector 1, approximately 17 kms south of Kasserine (ancient Cillium). A total of eighty-nine sites dating primarily to the first through sixt c. was recorded. These included settlements, tombs and cemeteries, and field and irrigation systems. Particularly noteworthy among the finds were the large agricultural production centers KS 223 and 225. These appear to have formed the center(s) of a large domain, subdivide…
The End of the Roman House
The disappearance of the Roman peristyle house marks the end of the ancient world and its way of life. No new peristyle houses were built after A. D. 550. Theories of disaster are inadequate to explain the disappearance of the Roman house. From the fourth century on, an increasing number of rich houses and public buildings were abandoned. On the other hand, the largest houses were more elaborate than before, with many specialized reception rooms.…
