CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD
Visitors to the British School at Rome quickly discern that the apparent timelessness of its façade disguises an institution that is both entirely modern in attitude and dynamic in approach. This review provides compelling evidence of the quality and diversity of the BSR’s recent achievements: the activities of the outstanding scholars and artists from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth who made the BSR their home last year; the receptions, conferences and lectures which form an increasingly significant aspect of Rome’s cultural and academic life; the impressive output of publications and the remarkable partnerships between British and Italian archaeologists. Central to this wide engagement are the Library, a precious research resource not restricted only to scholars resident at the BSR, and our elegantly functional Lecture Theatre. A very few years ago, the significant erosion of our income resulting from exchange rate movements, recession and retrenchment, all beyond the BSR’s control, made it seem most unlikely that we would be able to sustain the degree of activity described in these pages. A cut of over one quarter in revenue within a year would be difficult for any institution to withstand. Strong leadership has successfully changed these circumstances. The deft and skilful implementation by the director of a more economical organisational structure and the decisive initiative to launch a development programme under the leadership of the director and Mary Ellen Mathewson, which has already increased the membership, annual giving and support for residencies, accompanied by some improvement in the sterling - euro exchange rate, have entirely redressed the imbalance in the BSR’s finances. Most importantly, the magnificent, positive response of the staff to these changed circumstances and their strong commitment to the institution, for which we are all most grateful, have raised morale to a high level. The strength of this performance was recognised in the positive report of the representatives of the British Academy following their visit at the end of 2012. We know that as time goes by, an ever greater proportion of our revenues must be drawn from sources other than public funds. Council is committed to extending our initial successes in pursuing new alternatives. We are fortunate that the very high reputation of the BSR in British and Commonwealth academic circles has encouraged contributions from trusts and foundations with a special interest in the fields we cover. Our challenge however is to move beyond this, to establish a much wider familiarity with the BSR amongst the general public in the United Kingdom, to nurture appreciation of the excellence of the institution and the opportunities it offers talented young persons, and thereby to create a deeper and wider pool of potential financial support. So this review looks forward as well as back. The Sustainable Building Project described below will not only secure the fabric for the long term, but will enable us to meet environmental goals and dramatically reduce annual running costs. We shall also seek further strategic partnerships among universities, museums and galleries in the United Kingdom to encourage participation in our programmes and to create future opportunities at home for our award-holders. Governance of the British School at Rome and oversight of its scholarly and artistic programmes is vested in the Council and faculties, which comprise individuals with wide-ranging experience and recognised professional standing, knowledge and skills, who provide, on an entirely voluntary basis, valuable advice and support to the BSR, its director and staff. I have no doubt that as the next few years unfold, there will be yet greater calls on those who so generously serve these bodies. On behalf of the institution as a whole, I would like to salute and thank all Council and faculty members for their exceptional contributions.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Strong institutions adapt to survive, and the BSR has shown a good deal of flexibility in recent times. In many ways, the news we have is good. This year’s Annual Review ends by showing a good financial result for the year, which has permitted us to undertake two really important projects. First, we have begun the process of finding a new design and style for the whole range of our communications, with the help of Council member Jane Wentworth and the design team Praline, and the results of this will become visible in 2013–14. This will enable us to be more coherent and professional in the way we present ourselves. Second, we have commissioned Italian architects Studio Amati and the internationally renowned firm ARUP to work with Studio Garofalo Miura, who have a long history with the BSR, to help us prepare for the Sustainable Building Project. Our research activities remain of the highest quality, whether that be our publications, our events in Rome or London, or the work and achievements of our award-holders. The British Academy commended us in a review this year for our work; and the Arts and Humanities Research Council drew attention in its strategic plan to the relationship between the University of Southampton and the British School at Rome, as a case study in international partnerships. BSR award-holders continue to win prizes, find positions and gain admiration for their work. The flow of publications, prizes and exhibitions that we celebrate on our social media pages is unending, and shows the value of the work of the faculties in appointing the best artists and scholars. When we began to think about the BSR in the context of our brand review, we used the opportunity to think hard about our core values. We are committed to support but also to provide an intellectual challenge to those who come to the BSR. We recognise the value of our traditions, but we also value our role as an institution deeply engaged with the contemporary world, and producing research that is at the forefront of scientific endeavour. Our adherence to some key core values is what is helping us through a period of significant staff change, and in 2012–13 Alice Bygraves, Alvise di Giulio, and Maria Pia Malvezzi moved to take up new challenges and directions. We wish them well, as we do Elly Murkett, who is also leaving us. She has edited the Annual Review since 2003 and we thank her warmly for the work she has done. More sadly, this year the BSR lost two old friends, David Whitehouse (Director, 1984–94) and Charles Mason (Rome Scholar in the Fine Arts 1996–7). Their work and lives Lutyens Trust members unveil the BSR name plaque on their October 2012 visit to Rome enriched us, and we

are deeply grateful for the time they spent with us. Yet the BSR’s success rests on fragile ground. The gap between what we need to achieve our goals and what we receive from the British Academy is growing. It is the gen - erous and enduring support of our friends and Members that is per - mitting us to maintain our schol - arships, conduct archaeolo gical research, and deliver a wide pro- gramme of events. We hope that what follows will show how well we have used that support, but also how Christopher Smith and two former directors — Richard Hodges and vital it is to sustain this unique and Andrew Wallace-Hadrill — welcome the then Minister of Culture, On. hugely valuable institution.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH
Humanities (Dr Joanna Kostylo)
Collaboration at the BSR The Humanities programme is thriving. The past year has seen a number of exciting research initiatives and collaborations that highlight our value as a strong intellectual base for collaborative research, promoting links between British, Italian and international institutions. As an example, in October 2012, we announced an official partnership with the Archivio Centrale dello Stato and the Università della Calabria to work on previously unstudied archival records documenting the exportation of Italian art and design in the late nineteenth century. The project, led at the BSR by Assistant Director Dr Joanna Kostylo, examines the export of Italian antique and contemporary fine or decorative arts within Europe and across the globe, to assess their impact on local tastes, connoisseurship, architecture and interior design, and on the establishment of major museum and private collections. In 2012–13 we hosted several major international conferences, beginning with ‘Rome’s Modernity: Trauma, Fracture, Narration’, held in collaboration with the University of Warwick, University College London, the Archivio Centrale dello Stato and the Centro per lo Studio di Roma (CROMA) at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre. This conference used Rome’s cityscape as a point of departure for addressing questions of literary, art historical, cinematic and architectural manifestations of urban modernity. The BSR’s continuing commitment to modern studies was highlighted also during the interdisciplinary workshop ‘Rome Under the Bombs: the City, its Monuments and the Civilian Population in the Second World War’, organised by award-holders Claudia Baldoli and Sofia Serenelli, which brought together rare photographic and archival material documenting the impact of bombing and the projects for the reconstruction of the city’s monuments. At the end of the workshop we screened San Lorenzo: Memory and

Place, produced in 2005 by David Forgacs during his time as Research Professor in Modern Studies. The conference programme continued with a reflection on the 1,800th anniversary of the Antonine Constitution co-hosted with the American Academy in Rome; ‘Archaeology of Lived Religion in Antiquity’, organised by the German Archaeological Institute in Rome, the BSR, the Swiss Institute in Rome and the Max Weber Centre at the University of Erfurt; and ‘Lazio e Sabina: X Incontro di studi’, organised jointly with the Soprintendenza per i Beni e le Attività Culturali and the Danish and Dutch Academies in Rome. The year’s activities concluded with a major international conference on Turin during the Grand Tour, organised in partnership with Reggia di Venaria in Turin and generously supported by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. Building on the success of the conference ‘Roma Britannica’ held at the BSR in 2006, ‘Torino Britannica’ continued the re-evaluation of cultural exchanges between Britain and Italy in the seventeenth and Tao Sule-DuFour leads a visit by BSR residents and British eighteenth centuries. Academy visitors to Santa Maria del Priorato In the third year of the political crises in North Africa and the Middle East, the BSR and the Centre for Global Constitutionalism of the University of St Andrews ran a highly successful workshop on constitutionalism in the Arab uprising countries at the British Academy, sponsored by the British Academy, the Binks Trust and the Society for Libyan Studies. The BSR also contributed to the Triennial Conference of the British Comparative Literature Association with a workshop on migrations.
The Grand Tour and Beyond The BSR is widely recognised as a centre for research on Grand Tour subjects, and the research project ‘Rome and the World from Renaissance to Grand Tour’ deepened the BSR’s engagement with the topic through a series of lectures. The inaugural lecture ‘Knowledge in transit in early modern Europe: did all roads lead to Rome?’, delivered by Peter Burke at the British Academy in November 2012, examined Rome’s place in the early modern knowledge system and highlighted a variety of paths and modalities for the diffusion of cultural and intellectual trends between 1400 and 1800. This prompted consideration of different kind of knowledge(s) that circulated between Rome and the rest of Europe in the form of people, ideas, books and material objects — a topic that was discussed throughout the year. For example, the passage of Italian books across the English Channel was discussed by Abigail Brundin in her lecture ‘Book

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
buying and the Grand Tour: the Italian books at Belton House in Lincolnshire’, part of her project on what the books assembled by English noblemen and collectors can tell us about their tastes, interests and predilections. The theme of decorative arts was explored by BSR Research Fellow Patrizia Cavazzini in her lecture on the growing market for landscapes and still lifes purchased by the nobility, minor clergymen, artisans and shop- keepers who began to value paintings primarily for their aesthetic qualities, and sometimes decorated their living rooms with such works. Faculty of Archaeology, History and Letters member Marta Ajmar’s lecture, ‘Opening up matter: exploring global material con- nections in the Renaissance’, focused on a variety of global cross-cultural objects which represent a multi- layered material connection cutting through different geographical and temporal boundaries, as well as on the aesthetic traditions of the East and West.
BSR Research Themes The theme of global trade and cross-cultural encounters continued in a series of events focusing on connectivity in the Mediterranean, one of the BSR’s key research themes, including this year’s W.T.C. Walker Lecture by Alina Payne, ‘From Brunelleschi to Galeazzo Alessi’s Sacro Monte in Varallo, subject of Michelangelo to Sinan: Mediterranean perspectives on Rome Scholar Rebecca Gill’s research the architect’s biography’, exploring synergies and differences between Ottoman and Italian Renaissance architecture, and the lectures by Mike Carr, ‘To the lands of the Sultan of Babylon: the papacy and trade with Muslims during the later Middle Ages’, and Giancarlo Casale, ‘Ottoman humanism and the world that might have been’. The workshops ‘The Mediterranean City’, jointly organised with the Society for the Study of Medieval Languages and Literature, and ‘Italy and Albania: Past and Present’ also developed themes within our current research strategy. As ever, our award-holders make a strong and distinctive contribution to our lecture series and programme, and we remain grateful for all they bring to our lives together.
Supporting Culture During the course of the year, we have hosted several literary and art historical events, including an evening celebrating the exhibition on Titian at the Scuderie del Quirinale, with Sheila Hale presenting her acclaimed biography of Titian and Seamus Heaney, William B. Hart Poet-in-Residence at the American Academy in Rome and Nobel Laureate, reading his Titian-inspired poem Actaeon. The BSR was also represented at an international workshop organised by the British Council in the opening week of the Venice Biennale, and chaired by Geoffrey Crossick, Director of the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Cultural Value Project.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Archaeology (Professor Simon Keay, Sophie Hay and Stephen Kay)
Archaeology at the BSR has contributed enormously to our research success. Our research theme of ‘Landscape and Urbanscape’ has at its heart our geophysics activity, and our research theme of ‘Connectivity in the Western Mediterranean’ is built around, but extends beyond, the Portus Project, while our work on conservation and heritage management has benefited immensely from the Herculaneum Conservation Project. The BSR offers a critical point of connection for teams working in Italy and running pilot seasons for larger projects Further details of the projects above are given in a newly extended section of the Papers of the British School at Rome, and we have extracted here some of the highlights of another excellent year in the field.
Excavations and Survey at Portus and in its Hinterland Fieldwork in late 2012 and early 2013 resumed at the Palazzo Imperiale. This is a three hectare complex located upon an isthmus at the centre of the port, with clear views over the Trajanic and Claudian basins. Attention focused upon the range of rooms that ran from east to west along the northern façade of the complex. This is a challenging part of the site, involving excavation of standing archaeological remains on two storeys. The excavations confirm that the whole complex was built during the reign of the Emperor Trajan. Much attention was focused upon unrav - elling the building sequence of the rooms that lie between its two structures. This task was made difficult technically by the fact that this was originally a three-storey complex built from brick- faced concrete, and whose component rooms are understood best in terms of the relationships between all three floors. However, work in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has destroyed nearly all of the second storey and much of the first storey. A series of vaulted rooms (Building 8) arranged around the four sides of a two-storey peristyle, with a sunken cistern similar to structures at Hadrian’s Villa, supported abundant walls and other structures belonging to the first floor of the Palazzo Imperiale. The ground-floor rooms acted as service quarters and were illuminated by means of small clerestory windows, with the walls decorated with white plaster; one of the rooms was used as a latrine. Those on the first floor were much better decorated with painted wall plaster, mosaics and Aerial view of the large peristyle with opus spicatum opus sectile pavements; two of the rooms on this floor (Building 3) looking from the west, with the level were used as luxuriously appointed latrines. Castellum Aquae (Building 1) in the background The excavations have detected at least four post-

Trajanic periods of occupation. In the Severan period Building 3 was used as a glass factory, while during the later fifth century the northern façade of the complex was incorporated into the late-antique wall circuit. The BSR acknowledges the considerable financial and logistical support offered by its collaborative partner — the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma, and in particular Angelo Pellegrino, as well as the ongoing involvement of Parsifal Cooperativa (Rome).
Geophysics Research Projects The geophysics team at the BSR, led by Sophie Hay (Archaeological Prospection Services, Southampton), has undertaken a variety of surveys throughout the year with results ranging from the discovery of bronze age structures in Calabria as part of the University of Groningen’s ‘Rural Life in Protohistoric Italy’ project, to the identification of Medieval and Roman structures beneath the church cloister of Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza, in the heart of Rome. A new survey initiative at the site of Falerii Novi, with which the BSR has a long history, was started in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. The Roman town has been covered completely using gradiometer survey, and this pilot season tested the capabilities of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and offered a comparison to previous results. A highly successful trial in the area of a temple has revealed much information about the depth of the remains and the height to which the buried walls stand — details that the initial gradiometer survey could not show. The biggest challenge has been the GPR survey of two six-metre-high Roman burial mounds along the Via Appia as part of a project investigating the sixth mile of the Via Appia undertaken by the Royal Netherlands Institute Rome (KNIR) with Radboud University Nijmegen. This will be an innovative project in its use of geophysics in the extreme local topography. The main project of the year has been the survey of Peltuinum, which lies in the heart of the Abruzzo, just southeast of L’Aquila. The Roman settlement stands on a ridge overlooking the stunning Aterno Valley. The gradiometer survey concentrated on the central northern portion of the town and covered an area of about five hectares, where there had been sightings of crop marks delineating walls and roads along with

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
discoveries from small excavations. The survey results give us a clear glimpse of the orthogonal layout of the road system, on a northeast–southwest alignment and of many rectilinear structures within the grid. It is thanks to the Thomas Ashby: viaggi in Abruzzo 1901/1923 exhibition of photographs from the BSR Archive, taken by Thomas Ashby during his visits to the Abruzzo, that the archaeological project at Peltuinum was initiated. The BSR Archive made available all the photographs taken of the site of Peltuinum by Robert Gardner between 1910 and 1920. These images have provided an invaluable resource for our own research and are now available online through the Archive’s digital collections website.
Field Projects The BSR began a new research initiative in 2012 at the town of Segni in southern Lazio, led in the field for the BSR by Stephen Kay, in collaboration with the Museo Archeologico di Segni. Over the next three years the project will study two major public spaces in the ancient city: the forum and the acropolis. The most spectacular discovery was made during the first season of excavation in the central square of the town, where it had been hypothesized the earlier cathedral once stood, and below it the Roman forum. The detailed georadar results had revealed a number of walls beneath the square, confirmed by the subsequent excavation. At a depth of 1.5 metres a well-preserved polychrome mosaic was found, with a geometric design similar to examples discovered at the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. The excavations resumed in July 2013, and will be followed by a new collaboration with the local museum to study, excavate and conserve the famous nymphaeum of Quintus Mutius. The BSR gratefully acknowledges the local support given to this project by the Mayor of Segni, Arch. Stefano Corsi, the Assessore alla Cultura, Dott. Valente Spigone, the museum director, Dott. Francesco Maria Cifarelli, and the conservator, Dott.ssa Federica Colaiacomo.

Elsewhere, preparations began for the publication of the Falacrinae research project. Work also continued at San Giovanni in Laterano, a collaboration between the BSR, the University of Newcastle- upon-Tyne, the Università degli studi di Firenze and the Musei Vaticani.
Supporting Archaeology Roberta Cascino has continued to lead our work to secure concessions for archaeological work across Italy, as well as maintaining the BSR archaeological archive, alongside her work at Portus and collaborative work at Tuscania and Veii. Finally, the Camerone warmly thanks Elizabeth Richley for her hard work at the BSR over the past two years, and wishes her well with her doctoral studies at the University of Southampton. Her place in the team has been filled by Matthew Berry, a recent MSc graduate in archaeological prospection from the University of Bradford. The professional opportunities offered by BSR through the geophysics programme are a vital way in which we support archaeological activity and graduates in archaeology.
Herculaneum Conservation Project (Professor Christopher Smith)
The last year has seen continuing efforts to conserve and enhance the site of Herculaneum by the Herculaneum Conservation Project (HCP), a Packard Humanities Institute initiative in partnership with the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei and the BSR. Many of these activities, planning and implementing conservation work and assessing the needs of an archaeological site and its relationship to its surroundings, are at the forefront of best practice. Over a decade of local and international partnership at Herculaneum has brought clear benefits to the site. In 2002 Herculaneum was cited as the worst example of archaeological conservation in a non-war- torn country; in 2012 it was cited by UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova as a positive model ‘whose best practices surely can be replicated in other similar vast archaeological areas across the world’. Special praise was given to ‘the efforts being made closely to associate local authorities and communities in the

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
preservation of the site’. HCP and the Herculaneum Centre now provide capacity development programmes for heritage practitioners based on the Herculaneum experience; and the advances made in research were showcased in the triumphant British Museum exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum, which is expected to draw over a million visitors. No other British Academy-sponsored institution has ever played so critical and important a role in archaeological conservation. It has been our privilege as an institution to have been part of this adventure; and we are deeply grateful to Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, Jane Thompson and all the team at Herculaneum, to Maria Paola Guidobaldi, Teresa Cinquantaquattro and all at the Superintendency, and to the Packard Humanities Institute. The driving force behind HCP has always been the determined and generous engagement of David W. Packard himself. As the project has developed and matured, we have been pleased this year to have been able to contribute to the next phases. The creation of a new foundation, based in Italy, is an extremely welcome step forward. BSR will continue to benefit from its association with HCP through publications, and to have a scientific role at the site, and we look forward to the continuing development of this remarkable site.
Architecture (Marina Engel)
Despite the Mayor of Rome’s appeal to the citizens of Rome to stay at home in anticipation of a cyclone, Bijoy Jain opened the show Praxis with a lecture to a packed audience in October. We invited Jain and his practice Studio Mumbai to take part in the programme Urban Landscapes-Indian Case Studies to show how practising architects like Studio Mumbai are very much influenced and inspired by the informal urbanism around them. In both the lecture and the exhibition, Jain concentrated on the unique working method of the practice, a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work

directly through a process of collective dialogue and face-to-face sharing of knowledge. The exhibition design — about a thousand images of studies, drawings, photos and films — aimed to transport the spectator into the working environment of the practice. Public attendance and press coverage were excellent and prompted articles in the leading international architectural journals. Apart from the Venice Biennale, this was Studio Mumbai’s first appearance in Italy. In November, in the lecture ‘Indian kiss’, Franco La Cecla, anthropologist and urbanist, presented his latest research on the relationship between Bollywood, popular culture and the city of Mumbai. Our programme set out to stress the multi-disciplinary nature of urbanism and architecture and also included an analysis of Indian society in the twenty-first century by the writer and former Italian Ambassador to India and Nepal, Antonio Armellini. The programme concluded with Rahul Mehrotra, Professor of Urban Design and Planning at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and Chairman of the Department. Mehrotra is also a practising architect in Mumbai and he gave a spectacular lecture, addressing a packed and mesmerised audience. He presented entirely new research focussing on what he calls the kinetic city, which deals with the interaction between formal and informal urbanism. He also provided practical ideas for new forms of architecture and urban planning illustrated by some of his own projects. The exhibition The Kinetic City was displayed in a way that appealed to a wide public made up of different disciplines. The spring and summer months were spent organising and fundraising for our next programme, Meeting Architecture – Architecture and the Creative Processes, which will commence in October 2013. This will focus on the polymorphous nature of architecture and its relationship to art, music and cinema. This will be the first architecture programme to unite a variety of disciplines and it will take into account collaborations between architects and artists, composers, film directors and sociologists. It will also be the first programme of lectures, exhibitions and concerts to consider the creative process as well as the work inspired by such collaborations, and it will reflect the multi-disciplinary and innovative nature of the BSR. This is perhaps the most ambitious programme to date, and we shall be working with international protagonists in their respective fields.
We would like to thank our donors and partners who have made this programme possible. Donors: Allford Hall Monaghan Morris; the Cochemé Charitable Trust; the John S. Cohen Foundation; the Bryan Guinness Charitable Trust. Partners: American Academy in Rome; Architectural Association, London; Domus; the Embassy of India, Rome; FotoGrafia Festival Internazionale di Roma; Keats-Shelley House; MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo.
Fine Arts (Jacopo Benci)
Jacopo Benci has been busy both in the BSR and further afield. He screened and introduced three short films about Rome by Michelangelo Antonioni: N.U. Nettezza Urbana (1948), Roma (1989) and Lo sguardo di Michelangelo (2004), and gave an illustrated talk ‘Ascoltare con gli occhi, attentamente: Antonioni, Ghirri’, as guest lecturer for the Master in Curatorial Studies at Sapienza – Università di Roma. He gave a lecture in March entitled ‘From “Dust and Shadow” to “The Laws of Evanescence”’ (on his photographic and video work and its influences), at De Montfort University, Leicester, at the invitation of Senior Lecturer

in Photography Lala Meredith-Vula (BSR Sargant Fellow 2000–1). After his lecture, he participated as guest critic in a review of works by De Montfort University MA Photography students. On 4 May Laure Prouvost’s exhibition as winner of the 2012 Max Mara Prize for Women Artists opened at the Maramotti Collection in Reggio Emilia with the participation of Iwona Blazwick, Director of Whitechapel Gallery. Laure was Max Mara Resident at the BSR from April to June 2012, and many elements of her video and mixed-media installation drew from her time with us. On 3 June, Helen Sear (member of the Faculty of the Fine Arts and Abbey Awardee in 1992–3) gave a talk on twenty years of her artistic practice, which provided an opportunity to meet and talk with the resident artists. This year also saw the establishment of a programme of visiting artists’ lectures, organised by Marina Engel, in which the BSR collaborates with Above: Katy Kirbach, Untitled local institutions to organise talks by leading British and Commonwealth artists in connection with their Below: Jonathan Baldock, Fabric Painting with exhibitions in Rome. This winter, we invited Sean Delftware (i & ii) Scully to talk about his work and his drawing show at

the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna. Howard Hodgkin had last lectured and exhibited at the BSR in 1992 and on the occasion of his show at the Gagosian Gallery returned to discuss his new paintings with the British art historian John Paul Stonard. In another collaboration the MACRO museum invited the BSR to take part in Ritratto di una città 2 – Arte a Roma 1960–2001 in which material on the Contemporary Arts programme curated by Marina Engel and Cristiana Perrella was exhibited. The objectives of the Fine Arts programme could not be met without the contribution of several people and, in addition to staff, an essential role is played by our interns. The internship scheme devised in 2012 with John Cabot University continued with Clara Giannini, Reshma Narain, and Maria Plateo. A new collaboration was set up between the BSR and the LUISS (Free International University for Social Studies). The first LUISS intern was Pia Lauro, a freelance curator who ably worked on the publicity and invigilation of the March exhibition, and in June set out to Candida Powell-Williams, (Stage C) Very Superstitious record video interviews with the Fine Arts award-holders for uploading onto the AlmostCurators website she co-directs. The internship scheme set up in 2011 with Oxford’s Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art was reviewed in 2013 to enable an undergraduate student to help with the hang and invigilation of the March exhibition; the first intern in this revised scheme was Grace Thompson.
Publications (Dr Gill Clark)
Mille viae ducunt homines saecula Romam (‘a thousand roads lead men forever to Rome’). The picture on the cover of Rome, Portus and the Mediterranean (Archaeological Monograph 21), edited by Simon Keay, of a section of the Tabula Peutingeriana exemplifies how the BSR’s research interests and strategy go far beyond Rome and even Italy. This volume publishes papers given at a workshop at the BSR in March 2008, organised in collaboration with the Society for Libyan Studies and with funding from the British Academy. The contributors assess how far Portus, as the maritime port of Imperial Rome from the mid-first century AD, was the principal conduit for supplying Rome and the extent to which the commercial links that fed Portus were part of a single overarching network or a series of interlinked networks that

extended across the Mediterranean (and beyond). In Vesuvian Sigillata at Pompeii (Archaeological Monograph 20), Jaye McKenzie-Clark (Macquarie University Gale Scholar 2007–8) presents the far-reaching results of her examination of the red slip tableware from three regions of the ancient city of Pompeii. She maps the manufacture of these ceramics and identifies changes in production and use up to the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, revealing distinct patterns of consumer demands and usage at different levels of Pompeian society. This research helps us to explore and understand the use of goods within the city of Pompeii and throughout the Roman world, and also has the potential to shed light on patterns of behaviour in modern consumer societies. Our second volume of Papers of the British School at Rome (vol. 80, 2012), published by Cambridge University Press on our behalf, is available in even more academic libraries, a more than seven-fold increase on 2010. This is the first volume to be edited by Mark Bradley, and contains papers on a broad range of subjects, including Rome’s earliest circuit walls, thirteenth-century seigniorial institutions and officials of the Guidi counts, paintings in the medieval apse of San Sisto Vecchio in Rome, renditions of history and antiquity in the late Renaissance, and a study of a hundred years of Roman history (its historiography and intellectual culture). We cannot end without expressing our enormous thanks to Bryan Ward-Perkins, who stood down as a member of the BSR’s Council and Chair of Publications at the end of December. Over the past years he has ensured an excellent and active publications programme — with significant increases in the reach and impact of the results of BSR research and events — , as well as being a source of invaluable advice to the BSR more generally.
SUSTAINABILITY
Continuing the Change
The BSR is doing more to support our residents than ever before. The steady improvements in every corner of the building, the maintenance of the rooms and gardens, the gradual rise in levels of support, and the concentration on the highest levels of service across the BSR are part of a collective recognition that the
16 impag pp1-17 2013 q8:papers 27/08/13 17:19 Page 17
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
support of individuals, trusts and foundations in sustaining our scholarships needs to be met by a determination to make the BSR the very best it can be as a home for independent scholarship, creativity and intellectual exchange. In the coming year, this will be one of our key strategic goals. We believe that what best gives unity to the BSR’s mission is a focus on our role as a well-connected, highly respected and efficient research infrastructure. We support the best researchers and practitioners in bringing their work to the BSR, and we help to make their time here as productive as it can possibly be. This commitment comes from our mission and is rooted in our traditions, but leads to endlessly exciting and contemporary work — from the latest archaeological techniques to original programmes of research and cutting edge research practice. We can be proud of the achievements of our award-holders; our challenge is to create an environment in which their work is supported, fostered and developed.
A Sustainable Residence for our Second Century
Part of our goals relates to the building in which we live and work. The BSR is much loved, but also much in need of some attention. When we decided to look hard at what needed to be done, we agreed to be ambitious and to take on all the challenges that have been only partially addressed in the past. Many are basic, and some are very costly, but the goal is clear. We want to leave future generations with a building that is less expensive to run, but more comfortable to live in; that is safer and that can support our activities. The plans we have drawn up include controlling humidity in the older Library basement and the Gallery, and ensuring that rooms are not plagued by draughts; reducing energy use, and producing energy ourselves. We are highly respectful of the wonderful building we enjoy — including the superb new facilities which I inherited from my predecessor — and it is by making the most of what we have that we best show that respect. The Sustainable Building Project will cost around two million pounds. This is a huge challenge for a small organisation, in difficult times, but we have reasons to be confident. The planning was managed by Studio Garofalo Miura, who have been with us as architects and friends for over twenty years. ARUP have once again been our service engineers, and we have come to know an outstanding firm of architects in Rome, Studio Amati. Eric Parry and Michael Higgin have followed the project from London. The commitment of staff at BSR, especially Fulvio Astolfi, has been immense. We know that the planning we have done is robust, and we know that this is a project that can deliver an immense benefit to our long- term future.
Delivering the Mission
2012–13 has been a year of change, and the change continues. We are growing as an institution, even under the most difficult circumstances. This past year has been one in which we have continued to prepare for our next great challenge. In 2016, the BSR residence will have been open for a century; we look forward to celebrating being a community that is stronger, more creative, and more focused on what we do best than ever before.

SUPPORT FOR THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (Dr Joanna Kostylo)
2012–13 has been an exciting and challenging academic year for our award-holders. We continue to be delighted at the range of topics and activities that bring our award-holders together and open fresh perspectives for them. Some of the most rewarding work has been carried out in smaller settings, like the seminar ‘The art of making and the making of art’ organised by Hugh Last Fellow Susan Walker. Focusing on the role of materials used by artists and craftsmen both today and in the past, the seminar brought together scholars and artists, and facilitated a rich and extremely informative cross-disciplinary discussion, with award-holders commenting on what an extraordinary experience it had been to offer their work to the scrutiny of others from distinctly different fields and artistic practices. The seminar included a visit to the Roman domus and museum on the Caelian Hill, where some of the materials discussed could be viewed. We have been exceptionally fortunate this year with many former award-holders returning to Rome to deliver lectures and conferences, such as the ‘Fuel and Fire in the Ancient Roman World’ conference in March 2013 organised by Robyn Veal (Ralegh Radford Rome Fellow 2011–12) and Victoria Leitch (Rome Scholar 2010–11) in partnership with the Finnish Institute in Rome and the Oxford Roman Economy Project, and supported by the Geoffrey Rickman Memorial Fund. Anita Sganzerla (Rome Scholar 2011–12) returned to Rome to organise an international study day on ‘I pittori del dissenso. Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione – Andrea de Leone – Pier Francesco Mola – Pietro Testa – Salvator Rosa’, which took place just down the road from the BSR in the Austrian Historical Institute in May 2013. BSR staff and award-holders have become a permanent feature in the international media, with Catherine Fletcher (Rome Fellow 2009–10) appearing on Radio Four’s In Our Time to talk to Melvyn Bragg and to art historian Evelyn Welch about the myths and realities of the Borgia papacies; and with Simon Martin (BSR Research Fellow and Rome Scholar 2006–7) in The Guardian and on BBC World Service Sports Hour, discussing the uneasy relationship between football and fascism in Italy. Simon has also been awarded the Lord Aberdare Literary Prize for his book Sport Italia: the Italian Love Affair with Sport. On 2 September 2012, the Director Christopher Smith, Librarian Valerie Scott and Lisa Beaven (Rome Awardee 2001–2) featured on Australian radio on ABC’s Future Tense show to talk about the Mapping the Campagna Romana Over Time project presenting rare seventeenth-century maps from the BSR Archive. The work of the BSR was also featured in a BBC documentary on Portus, in a BBC series on Roman religion, featuring PBSR editor Mark Bradley, and in the exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum, curated by Paul Roberts (Rivoira Scholar 1989–90).

TAUGHT COURSES (Dr Robert Coates-Stephens)
The BSR’s extensive resources and long-standing expertise with the ancient and modern city (typified especially by our close relationship with Rome’s archaeological administration and scholarly community) enable us to offer our course participants unparalleled access to museums, monuments and excavations, and this is reflected by the frequent stress in the students’ course assessments on the ‘opportunity’, ‘experience’, ‘enrichment’ and ‘inspiration’ they have obtained from both programmes.
18 impag pp18-25 2013 q8:papers 27/08/13 17:11 Page 19
The Summer School gives undergraduates an intensive introduction to the city of Rome and its surroundings. A thematic approach is adopted, each day’s itinerary is introduced with an evening lecture, and the visits integrate the monuments with museum collections and tours of the latest excavations. In 2012, 23 students from ten univer- sities attended. The virtues of City of Rome course students in the burial chamber of the Pyramid of Cestius the method were singled out for particular praise by the participants, with one commenting: ‘The thematic approach was undoubtedly the best way to view all the necessary sites… I think I now have a better understanding of how Rome fitted together conceptually’.
In 2012, the Summer School received financial support from the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, the Craven Committee of the Faculty of Classics, Oxford University, the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge and the Gladstone Memorial Trust. The 2013 City of Rome course was generously supported by the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies.
Students continuing their studies often apply to return to Rome for the City of Rome postgraduate course. Adopting a more gradual, topographical approach, over two months it provides the most thorough treatment of the ancient city — from its origins to the post-classical period — offered at any academic institution in Rome. One half is devoted to site visits, supplemented by fifteen hours of lectures and seminars by distinguished guest speakers, with the other reserved for individual study supervised by the course director. In 2013, ten students attended, four previously attended a summer school. This year’s intake proved one of the most enthusiastic of recent years, and was especially impressed by the range of the itineraries, which included unprecedented access to the Republican baths of Via Sistina, the fourth-century Christian oratory beneath the Lateran hospital, the generally closed cabinets of the Masks and the Busts at the Vatican, the houses beneath the gardens of the presidential palace on the Quirinal, and the BSR excavations of the Palazzo Imperiale at Portus. One commented: ‘the breadth and depth of information given at each site was hugely helpful to my university degree, but above all it was simply fascinating to learn so much about such a wonderful city. I could barely believe the number of sites we managed to visit — especially those that aren’t open to the public, some of which I didn’t even know existed’. Another concluded: ‘the City of Rome course has been an incredible experience… It has been a great step up from the undergraduate Summer School, and I hope to return again one day… Thank you for the opportunity, and for making us feel so welcome. (I have no suggestions — the course was perfect!)’. The work produced by the students over the past few years has been of exceptional quality, and many have gone on to publish research papers written during the course. Since half of 2013’s intake is going on to doctoral study we may hope that this trend continues.

SUPPORT FOR THE FINE ARTS (Jacopo Benci)
Activities for 2012–13 started in September, with Australia Council Resident Rebecca Ross’s solo exhibition In the World, comprised of works she created during her July to September residency. October began — as each term — with short presentations by the new award-holders, including Derek Hill Foundation Scholar Anne-Marie Creamer, whose project revolved around the film Luigi Pirandello tried to draw from his play Six Characters in Search of an Author, which premiered at Teatro Valle in Rome in 1921. This prompted a group visit to the Valle, occupied since 2011; Anne-Marie met the Valle activists who embraced her project and allowed her to photograph and shoot footage in the theatre. A visit took place later in October to the Centrale Montemartini in Ostiense on the occasion of the exhibition Sixty Years of Fashion Made in Italy, which presented a hundred historic garments by leading Italian fashion houses alongside the Roman sculptures of the Capitoline Museum collection. In November, a day trip was organised to the historic centre of L’Aquila, destroyed by the earthquake of 6 April 2009. BSR residents were shown around the city by former Fine Arts intern Martina Sconci, currently Curator at L’Aquila’s Experimental Museum of Contemporary Art (MUSPAC), and Enrico Sconci, Professor at L’Aquila’s Academy of Fine Arts and Director of MUSPAC. December brought a walk around EUR involving visits to Libera’s Palazzo dei Congressi and Minnucci’s Palazzo degli Uffici. The first Fine Arts group show of the year, I Have Lived, opened on 14 December. As customary, the visitors included scholars of the other foreign academies, as well as Rome artists, critics, collectors and dealers. Two visits to Giovan Battista Piranesi’s church of Santa Maria del Priorato took place in January and February 2013. This year, Piranesi was dealt with in different ways by all three resident architects: Thomas Brigden, Natacha Boucher and Tao Sule-DuFour. The second Fine Arts exhibition, entitled Ides of March, opened on 15 March. The events with Sean Scully and Howard Hodgkin brought a wider public to the residents’ exhibition. Yasmin Fedda’s film Breadmakers was included by Donatella Zanchi, a doctoral candidate in curatorial studies, in the exhibition Voci di arte contemporanea a Roma that she co-curated at Sapienza – Università di Roma’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MLAC); Yasmin was also invited by young curator Emanuele Meschini to screen Breadmakers and her Rome film Siamo tornati at Upper Lab, an artist-run space in Bergamo. In April a trip took place to Niki de Saint Phalle’s folly, the Tarot Garden, at Garavicchio in southern Tuscany; a few days later, a group visited the Cinecittà film studios. April also brought an exhibition and a lecture, both entitled The Material of Colour, by Helen Baker, Professor of Fine Art at Northumbria University (and BSR Abbey Fellow 2006–7). With the help of the British Council, the Fine Arts award-holders were invited to attend the press preview of the Venice Biennale. They travelled to Venice on 28 May and were able to enjoy the buzz of the international première, the national pavilion openings and parties. The final Fine Arts exhibition, Please Be Quiet, opened on 14 June. BSR award-holders Anne-Marie Creamer, John Di Stefano, Todd Fuller, Liang Xia Luscombe and Tao Sule-DuFour also took part in the 2013 edition of Spazi Aperti, the international exhibition at the Romanian Academy, which opened on 13 June.

Artist testimonial I came to the BSR with a clear intention. To research a documentary film about a migrant boat trip that went horribly wrong. The boat left Libya in March 2011 and was heading to Italy, with 72 desperate migrants on board. Out of fuel, food and water, the boat drifted for fifteen days in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Only nine people survived the ordeal. My intention was to track down each of the survivors, and to explore our confused and conflicted attitudes towards migrants. Being relocated into the wonderful environment of the BSR presented a real opportunity. Time to think, focus and create. But one of the unfortunate realities of travel is that we send our body overseas, but our conscious ‘selves’, our personalities, can often come too. Perhaps successful travel is the temporary triumph of our better qualities, like inquisitiveness and a willingness to fully engage with our surroundings. A residency provides an opportunity to do exactly this. Time to explore new thoughts and ideas and push oneself into new areas. At times of self-doubt I try to remember the words of one of my teachers at secondary school, who wrote in my final report, ‘Flippant, but will go far’. Years later in the British School at Rome, I was immersed in reports of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean in perilous sea crossings. Reports of shipwrecks and drownings — realities faced by people willing to risk anything for a better life. Zed Nelson

LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE (Valerie Scott)
Support for the Library and Archive manifests itself in many ways and involves many people. We would like to thank them all this year. The Library membership scheme provides approximately twenty per cent of the acquisitions budget, and nearly 300 new members have enrolled over the past year. With an average of 26 readers per day, excluding BSR award-holders, residents and staff, the Library is always busy. Many ex-scholars, fellows and visitors to the BSR also contribute to our collections by sending us copies of their publications, off-prints of articles, or exhibition catalogues in the case of our fine arts award-holders, which ensures that the Library holds a record of the highest quality research and artistic practice carried out at the BSR. We are grateful to all our award-holders for this contribution to ‘their’ Library. Over the past twenty years, since the founding of the URBS network, many institutions and individuals have contributed to the retrospective conversion of our catalogue. Thanks to the two latest gifts, from Anne and Peter Wiseman and from Rosamond McKitterick, this project will at last be completed this year and the whole of the Library’s collection will be available on-line at www.web.reteurbs.org. The conservation of our Rare Books Collection also relies entirely on outside funding, and thanks to a very generous gift from John and Ginnie Murray via the John Murray Charitable Foundation, the project to refurbish all 3,000 volumes in the collection is now complete. Many individuals have also contributed over the years and we would like to thank Barbara Clark, and the friends of the late Ruth Arnaud who funded the complete restoration of a very important eighteenth-century volume in memory of their friend. The book by Pietro Santi Bartoli, Picturae antiquae cryptarum romanarum et sepulcri Nasonum (Rome 1750), was in very bad condition but has been fully restored with a handsome new dark-green leather binding by our conservator Luigina Antonazzo. Two exhibitions of books and drawings from the Library and Archive were organised to accompany two BSR events: the workshop held in December 2012, ‘Rome Under the Bombs: the City, its Monuments and the Civilian Population in the Second World War’ and a display of travellers’ writings from the Rare Books Collection on the occasion of the two-day ‘Torino Britannica’ conference in June 2013. On 29 September 2012, the exhibition of photo - graphs of Abruzzo by Thomas Ashby, seen by 40,000 visitors as it toured the region, was donated to the city of L’Aquila by Christopher Prentice, HM Ambassador to Italy at a ceremony in the Basilica of Collemaggio. The deva - stating effects of the earthquake at 2009 are still evident, and it is hoped that the exhibition Porta Latina, Rome, a photograph by Carlo Baldassarre Simelli from the Parker will find a permanent Collection venue in a newly-restored
22 impag pp18-25 2013 q8:papers 27/08/13 17:11 Page 23
palazzo. The occasion also included the prize- giving by the Ambassador to the winner of an international photography competition, ‘In the Footsteps of Thomas Ashby in the Abruzzo Province of L’Aquila, Places and People 2012’, sponsored by the English School of L’Aquila and open to young photographers. We must thank all our Italian friends and colleagues who supported this venture, in particular Ivano Villani and Ad.Venture srl. Alessandra Giovenco, our Archivist, is now regularly invited to give presentations of our work in the Archives and particularly on our digital collections website. This year she spoke at a conference in Rome, organised by the Soprintendenza per il Patrimonio Storico, Artistico ed Etnoantroplogico and the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione, on ‘Immagini e memoria: gli archivi fotografici di istituzioni culturali della città di Roma’ and at a follow-up workshop relating to this event that was hosted by the BSR in February 2013. Alessandra was also invited to present a paper on the BSR’s collection of photographs by John Henry Parker by the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art in Paris in June. A week previously, the first 300 of 800 photographs from the BSR’s Parker collection were added to the digital collections website. Here we must thank Peter Brown, long-time friend of the Library, and Jim Ball for funding the digitization of the photographs. In collaboration with another Italian friend, Giuseppe Ceraudo, Università del Salento, Lecce, an exhibition (with accompanying catalogue) of photographs from the unpublished collection of Robert Gardner in the BSR Archive, Lungo l’Appia e la Traiana: le fotografie di Robert Gardner in viaggio con Thomas Ashby nel territorio di Beneventum agli inizi del Novecento (BSR Archive series 10), opened in Benevento in the cloisters of the Chiesa di Santa Sofia in October 2012. The cover of the catalogue, with the magnificent image of Trajan’s Arch in Benevento and extraordinary maintenance work on the electricity lines before health and safety legislation was invented, is illustrated here. The thirty photographs published in the catalogue are now on the website, together with twenty images of the archaeological site at Peltuinum in Abruzzo that the Camerone team has worked on. Funding has been secured for a pilot project to prepare a major research proposal to study and reunite virtually all material relating to the life and work of John Marshall and Edward Perry Warren. The three- month preparatory research will result in a proposal for this international and multi-institutional project. Guido Petruccioli has been selected for the three-month Research Fellowship to study the Marshall archive and prepare a proposal and we are extremely grateful to Christian Levett for this generous funding. Collaboration and the exchange of experiences and ideas are ever more crucial in this difficult financial climate and it was a great pleasure to visit our sister institution, the British School at Athens, in October 2012. With the Librarian, Penny Wilson, and her colleagues we discussed concerns that we have in common, as well as identifying areas in which we might co-operate through joint research projects based on our collections. Thanks are due to the Director, Cathy Morgan, and all her colleagues for the very warm welcome I received.

INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT (Mary Ellen Mathewson)
We have now completed two years of professional fundraising, and the BSR is enjoying unprecedented levels of support from individuals and organisations around the globe. The membership community continues to expand, and we are seeing significant grants directed toward specific areas of the institution. Our alumni participation is twice that of the UK’s national average for universities, and the telephone survey of former award-holders that we conducted in 2012, albeit a sample, demonstrated extremely high levels of satisfaction. Eighty per cent of alumni contacted said that they were still in the same career field, and that the BSR had had a strong impact on their career path after leaving Rome. Perhaps more importantly, over ninety per cent said that they were still in contact with fellow award-holders on a professional level; sixty-five per cent still maintain personal contact. This small snapshot into the BSR community testifies to the strength of personal connections, most of which last for decades. Council members, members of the faculties, award-holders and countless volunteers have helped us secure significant grants this year, and to them we are extremely grateful, as we are to those who contributed financially. The Ashby Society continues to grow, and remains one of the most important ‘micro-communities’, as these generous donors are not only providing critically important unrestricted funds, but also continue to help us branch out and secure major sources of support from other individuals, trusts and private companies. Our challenge now is to continue to raise the BSR’s profile in the UK and elsewhere as we look to secure funding for the Sustainable Building Project. Sustainability is an often-

overused word, but it perfectly describes our mission over the next few years. We must continue to build our annual giving programme, as this philanthropic base of support will sustain the BSR through an uncertain economic horizon, as well as sustain the extraordinary level of research activity we have seen this year. We must also secure transformative grants that will ensure that the building at via Gramsci 61 is both environmentally and economically sustainable. When we started the BSR institutional development programme in 2011, we shared Arnold Toynbee’s quote, ‘Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor’. Our voyage continues apace, and we hope you will join us.

Humanities award-holder testimonial For a classical archaeologist like me, it is of critical importance to see our objects of study in reality rather than just in pictures, and to discuss them with other people. During my three months as Hugh Last Fellow at the BSR I had ample opportunity to do both. The BSR has been enormously helpful with getting permissions to see sites that are normally closed to the public, and I had the most fruitful and memorable conversations with colleagues who have excavated or studied these sites for a long time, but also with students of the City of ‘Terraced’ tombs in the Isola Sacra Rome course and other colleagues who would bring a fresh perspective to them. Dinner conversations with artists, historians and art historians, and a wide range of topics for the weekly lectures stimulated all sorts of new ideas. Thanks to the amazing support and working conditions at the BSR I have managed to advance substantially my current project on Roman tombs and burial customs, and explore the potential of a project that I intend to pursue in the suburbium in the future.

FINANCIAL REPORT (Michael Higgin and Professor Christopher Smith)
This report should be read alongside the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2013 available at www.bsr.ac.uk.
GOVERNANCE OF THE BSR
The British School at Rome has a Council and two advisory faculties. Those who serve bring to bear specific and general skills. Members of Council are trustees of the BSR. The Council’s primary role is to oversee the general management and sustainability of the BSR, and the two faculties advise on humanities and fine arts and publications, with a specific responsibility for making awards. The BSR has robust policies on risk management and has approved a Corporate and Research Strategy, all available at www.bsr.ac.uk. This Annual Review, with its account of the BSR’s objectives, activities and achievements, constitutes our statement of public benefit.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The BSR relies primarily on four sources of regular income: the grant from the British Academy; the income from its own reserves; the income from trusts, foundations and individuals, generously given for specific purposes especially in terms of scholarships; and the income from the residence. In addition we are fortunate to receive money from the Packard Humanities Institute to support extending Library opening to the public. Furthermore we have sought other forms of income from, and been supported in other ways by, a variety of charitable trusts and foundations who are acknowledged on our website.
Income and expenditure in 2012–13
Strong performance in fundraising and continued pressure on costs have led to a positive outcome for the year to 31 March 2013. This included some provision for transitional staffing arrangements, and we acknowledge support from the British Academy. We have maintained the position developed since 2009 to ensure that the BSR is at least achieving a balanced outcome net of Herculaneum Conservation Project income. The strength of the balance-sheet also reflects the success of our decision to build our resources for the substantial costs required to achieve a firm estimate for the Sustainable Building Project. These costs will fall in 2013–14 but are entirely covered by the surplus from the year under review. We were fortunate to see a new source of charitable income for archaeology; this is an area under considerable pressure. The BSR has invested in equipment and staff from its own resources in 2012–13. We have succeeded in maintaining our regular maintenance programme, and included within it some small interventions recommended in an earlier report from ARUP as part of the Sustainable Building Project. We also have continued to manage our IT software and hardware to maximise efficiency. Entering a new shared financial service arrangement with the British Academy is part of this evolution, but all of our administrative systems will need to be continually tested for value for money.
Financial results
The surplus of income compared with expenditure on unrestricted activities in the year ended 31 March 2013 was £205,000, before transfers of £83,000 to unrestricted funds of income originally received as restricted income that has now become available to the BSR to use for its general objectives, and before net gains of £220,000 arising on the investment portfolio. As at 31 March 2013, the BSR’s unrestricted funds amounted to £3,116,000. These funds include designated funds of £2,070,000 set aside by Council for research and scholarship grants and also include the value

The BSR’s investments, excluding cash held on deposit, were valued at £2,365,000 at 31 March 2013. The investment portfolio is managed by external advisers, whose performance is reviewed annually by Council. During the year 2012–13 the unrealised gains were £241,000 and realised losses were £3,000.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
As indicated in this report (p. 11), 2013–14 will be the last year in which the BSR will report income from the Herculaneum Conservation Project under the current arrangements. Furthermore, we have seen little new grant money, which reflects in part the reduction in academic staff and in part the difficult research environment in the UK. This places particular pressure on our ability to sustain an active archaeological programme, and in research terms this is now the major challenge. The Sustainable Building Project is a necessary step in the delivery of an estate master plan, and also in the management of our costs. In 2013–14, the BSR will seek major capital funding on the back of firm costings, to permit us to move forward with this vital work. We believe that we have taken the necessary steps to reshape the staffing structure of the BSR (support staff salary costs have reduced by 8% from 2011–12), and that further cuts would now set us back. A challenge for the coming years is to continue to work on developing the capacities of existing staff and to make the most of the people who do so much to keep the BSR moving forwards. However, we have to be conscious of continuing macro-economic pressures. We have worked extremely hard to fill the gap left by the year-on-year reduction in real terms of government funding by the British Academy, and taken steps to identify how we would respond to further diminution of that support. The BSR is now highly reliant on the funds it is raising from supporters and Members, and from the activities of our Council, and we are very aware that we need to continue to develop our independent financial capacity. Council has recognised the necessity to protect as much as possible the long-term resource base of the BSR, which is our building and the Library, whilst continuing to support outstanding intellectual endeavour across the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences in an environment that is open and non-prescriptive. Our long-term belief is that the intrinsic values of the arts, humanities and social sciences at the BSR represent a unique strength, and we will continue to seek to demonstrate that our financial activity fully supports research excellence.
