They operated mainly in a lower-key, local context, but they also moved abroad to answer the requests of patron…

Artisans and Traders in the Early Byzantine City: Exploring the Limits of Archaeological Evidence
The application of research methodologies and strategies derived from western urban archaeology to Early Byzantine contexts renders traditionally obscure social groups, like the productive and commercial “middle class”, visible in the archaeological record. Working from both a re-examination of written sources and an assessment of new archaeological data, it seems possible to trace the evolution of the social and economic role of artisans and sho…

This paper considers in particular four cities that were built …
