Entrevista - Dr. Edward Harris
Edward Harris é um arqueólogo bermudiano cuja produção teve impacto decisivo na consolidação da estratigrafia como eixo analítico central da arqueologia contemporânea. É reconhecido pela formulação da Matriz de Harris, desenvolvida na década de 1970 a partir de uma crítica às práticas de escavação então vigentes, consideradas insuficientes para representar, de forma sistemática, as relações estratigráficas. Essa proposição resultou na elaboração …
The Destruction of Cities in the Ancient Greek World
From the Trojan War to the sack of Rome, from the fall of Constantinople to the bombings of World War II and the recent devastation of Syrian towns, the destruction of cities and the slaughter of civilian populations are among the most dramatic events in world history. But how reliable are literary sources for these events? Did ancient authors exaggerate the scale of destruction to create sensational narratives? This volume reassesses the impact …
The Work of Craterus and the Documents in the Attic Orators and in the “Lives of the Ten Orators”
This essay is divided into three parts. The first examines the documents about Antiphon in the “Lives of the Ten Orators” (Plut. X orat. 833d–834b), which have been attributed to the collection of Craterus, and shows that they must be forgeries because the information contained in them is inconsistent with reliable sources about Athenian laws and legal procedure and with the language and formulas of the preserved decrees of the fifth century and …
Major Events in the Recent Past in Assembly Speeches and the Authenticity of [Andocides] On the Peace
This paper begins by demonstrating that speakers in the Assembly did not misrepresent major events in recent history. An examination of Demosthenes’ speeches to the Assembly shows that his statements about recent events are accurate but are usually brief. This is true for speeches to the Assembly found in Thucydides and Xennophon. The main part of the essay shows that the speech On the Peace attributed to Andocides makes major mistakes about rece…
Skilled Labour and Professionalism in Ancient Greece and Rome
The introduction offers a definition of skilled labour and professionalism and considers the importance of these concepts for our study of ancient society and its economy
The Use of Harris Matrices in Rock Art Research
The Harris Matrix was developed in the 1970s to correctly interpret the sequence of data derived from archaeological excavations. When layers of pigment are applied over surfaces to make rock art, they also form sequences through time. Understanding motif superimpositions is a key to understanding sequential changes in rock art repertoires. The use of the Harris Matrix in rock art research was first proposed by Chippindale and Taçon in the 1990s …
Toward a Typology of Greek Regulations about Religious Matters
Les recueils des « lois sacrées » effectué par Sokolowski et Lupu sont incontestablement un instrument de travail de premier rang pour l’étude de la religion grecque. Pourtant, les documents dans ces recueils ne sont pas classés sur des critères juridiques. La présente étude vise à proposer une classification de documents en question conformément aux autorités qui les ont émis : conseils fédéraux en charge de sanctuaires panhelléniques, cités, su…
How Strictly Did the Athenian Courts Apply the Law? The Role of Epieikeia
H. Meyer‐Laurin has claimed that the Athenian courts took a stricti iuris approach to the law and did not take extenuating circumstances into account. Other scholars (Mirhady, Todd) have claimed that the courts sometimes ignored the law and took extra‐legal considerations into account, which was called ‘fairness’ (epieikeia). The essay begins with a careful reading of Aristotle's analysis of ‘fairness’ (epieikeia) in the Nicomachean Ethics and th…

The defences of the Bermuda dockyard
Established in 1809, the Bermuda dockyard was of great importance to the Royal Navy throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as its foremost naval station in the Western North Atlantic. The local defences of the Bermuda dockyard were started in earnest around 1820. This paper explains the evolution of these defences over the ensuing century, and gives some indication of the future of these historic works
American spies at Bermuda’s forts, 1842–52
In 1809, a dockyard was established by the Royal Navy at Bermuda. Over the next decades, Bermuda was refortified by the Royal Engineers. This paper describes the visits of two American officers to Bermuda for the purpose of spying on the new fortifications. Further material on the forts at Bermuda is also presented as the preliminary results of a survey of Bermuda’s forts being undertaken by the author under the auspices of the Bermuda Maritime M…
Excavations at Her Majesty’s Dockyard, Bermuda
This paper records the excavation of two moats of the defences of H.M. Dockyard, Bermuda, in 1981. The excavations are part of a programme of work undertaken by the Bermuda Maritime Museum which is now housed in the Keep at the northern end of the Dockyard. The moats are located at the main gate of the Keep and at the Caponier at the S.E. corner of the same fort. At both locations, structural remains of the moats were found, dating from the estab…
