Archaeology of Twentieth-Century Rome
When Rome became the capital of a unified Italian state in 1871, the city lagged behind other European capitals in contemporary architectural expression. Ancient ruins evoked a distant glory, although the area of Rome containing the Imperial Fora was covered over by a dense urban residential quarter called the Alessandrino District. The quarter was labelled a slum district by fascist propaganda, and it was demolished in the early 1930s to make wa…
Renaissance Rome and the Italian Glass Connection
Italy had a prominent role in the Renaissance European glass market, thanks to three centers of production located in Venice, Tuscany, and Liguria. The substantial amount of glass finds excavated in the 16th-century a.d. dumps of the Forum of Caesar is the object of this first interdisciplinary study of glass from Renaissance Rome. The typology reveals the predominance of medical containers, followed by tableware with parallels in Tuscan producti…
Neutron activation analysis in Mediterranean Archaeology
This paper, jointly written by participants of a workshop held in 2021, argues for an increased recognition and application of neutron activation analysis (NAA) in the archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean. Discussing the methodological strengths and challenges, it highlights the great potential NAA has for collecting proxy data from ceramics in order to develop progressive concepts of archaeological research within and beyond the Mediterranea…
Disease control and the disposal of infectious materials in Renaissance Rome
Excavations in Rome have long focused on the early city; only recently has attention turned to the archaeology of the medieval and later periods. Here, the authors present a rare sixteenth-century context, dating to a time when European cities contended with repeat epidemics and implemented measures to control the spread of disease. A contextual approach to the assemblage leads to its identification as a 'medical dump' of clinical equipment, incl…
High-Definition Urban Narratives from Central Rome
Since 2017, excavations have taken place on Caesar’s Forum in Rome. The area holds archaeological evidence covering three thousand years of Rome’s prehistory and historical periods. The excavations offer wide-ranging research possibilities connected to the urban development of one of the classical world’s pivotal city centres. However, the location’s centrality also offers challenges when transforming the vast bulk and complex nature of the archa…
Practicing Urban Archaeology in a Modern City
This article describes the documentation according to FAIR principles of the first phase of the excavation of parts of the Alessandrino Quarter—an area of central Rome that has largely remained unexplored, although situated in the center of what is today one of the most visited cities in Europe. Archaeological fieldwork in modern cities presents excavators with a particular set of challenges. Prominent among these is archaeological complexity—the…
Water for Athena
The remains of monumental timber temples on the Acropolis of the Timpone delta Motta from the end of the eighth century BC are the first temples on Italian soil. They are constructed on the remains of dwellings from the eighth century BC, among others a House of Weaving belonging to an aristocratic Enotrian clan, buried nearby. Comparisons between the fills of this house, rich female tombs and normal huts make it likely that it was used for a cul…
