Setting the ancient city within the context of its immediate ter- ritory, the authors reveal the diverse and enduring links between the metropolis and its hinterland. At the heart of the volume is a detailed consideration of a complete restudy of the pioneering South Etruria Survey (c. 1955-1970), one of the earliest and most influential Mediterranean landscape projects. The results are supplemented with a number of other archaeological evidence to create a database of around 5000 sites across southern Etruria and the Sabina Tiberina. 372p, 131 col illus, 21 tbls (Archaeopress Publishing, September 2020, Archaeopress Roman Archaeology 70) paperback, 9781789696158, $77.00.

This session took place within the commission concerned with the European Neolithic. While most of the presentations fell within that chrono- logical period and were concerned with the Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean basin, wider geographical and chronological comparisons were also included. The volume aims to break the usual limits on the fields of study. New methods developed over the past ten years bring out new possibilities regarding the study of such monuments, and the conference proceedings open up unexpected and promising perspectives.

J. Ian Begg By day, young Gilbert Bagnani studied archaeology in Greece, but by night he socialized with the elite of Athenian society. Secretly writing for the Morning Post in London, he witnessed both antebellum Athens in 1921 and the catastrophic collapse of Christian civilization in western Anatolia in 1922. Gilbert’s weekly letters to his mother in Rome reveal his Odyssey-like adven- tures on a voyage of discovery through the origins of western civilization. As an archaeologist in Greece, he traveled through time seeing history repeat itself: Minoan Knossos, Byzantine Constantinople and Ottoman Smyrna were all violently destroyed, but the survivors escaped to the new worlds of Mycenaean Greece, Renaissance Venice and modern Greece. 380p, 14 illus, 5 maps (Archaeopress Publishing, October 2020, Archaeological Lives) hardcover, 9781789694529, $40.00.

Dijkstra Even though, at death, identity and social status may undergo major changes, by studying funerary customs we can greatly gain in the understanding of a community’s social structure, distribution of wealth and property, and the degree of flexibility or divisiveness in the apportionment of power. With its great regional diversity and variety of community forms and networks, ancient Greece offers a unique context for exploring, through the burial evidence, how communities developed. This volume brings together early career scholars working on funerary customs in Greece from the Early Iron Age to the Roman period. Themes discussed include issues of territoriality, the reconstruction of social roles of particular groups of people, and the impact that major historical events may have had on the way individuals or specific groups of individuals treated their dead. 204p, illus, 60 col pages (Archaeopress Publishing, January 2020) paperback, 9781789694420, $50.00.

Stocker and Iris Pojani In the years 2004-2006, a joint team from the International Centre for Albanian Archaeology in Tirana, Albania, the Institute of Archaeology in Tirana, and the University of Cincinnati conducted excavations in the plain west of the walls of the ancient Greek colony of Apollonia, a short distance to the southwest of the modern village of Pojan. The site lies almost entirely within a complex of farm buildings known locally as Bonjakët. This volume represents the full publication of the results of three campaigns of excavation at the site. The new excavations discovered and documented a previously unknown monumental temple and have made it possible to describe for the first time the material remains of Greek rituals as practiced at the time of, or not long after, the foundation of Apollonia.

Intensive survey resulted in unique discoveries from an ancient battlefield. Finds of bronze warship rams, armor, amphoras, inscriptions, and evidence of shipwreck sites confirm the discovery of this ancient naval battle landscape. Moreover, these artifacts provide new lines of inquiry into Latin epigraphy and the role of officials, the for- mation of battle landscapes, the dimensions of warships and their rams, types of personal armor, cultural change during the 3rd century BC, and the economics of fleet construction during the First Punic War. 324p, 54 col & 84 b/w illus (L’Erma di Bretschneider, January 2020, Bibliotheca Archaeologica 60) hardcover, 9788891318329, $313.00.

Particular attention is paid to the areas of contact between the Temple of Apollo and the previous structures (House of Octavian, “interrupted house”, House of Livia) and the components that spatially integrated the area on which the temple stood, such as the Porticus Danaidum with its powerful substruction system, the adjoining entrance arch, the temple of Vesta and the pavilion palace of Augustus.

La Prèmiere Rhòde d’Occident Hommage à Christian Olive by Daniela Ugolini and Élian Gómez The Greek phase of Béziers, which the authors identify with the archaic Rhòde of the textual sources, was unknown until the first large excavations in 1984-1986. Preceded by a fairly clear pre-colonial dynamic, this Greek city has forced the revision of old concepts and historical notions, since its name and other aspects highlight the priority of the Rhodians/Dorians in the colo- nization of the northwestern Mediterranean. It experienced strong development and became a real polis, in all likelihood the only one along this coast. It interacted with native populations, the Phocaeans/Massalians, the continental Celtic hinterland and undoubtedly also with the Punics and the Iberians; founded other cities; and produced a lot of ceramics.

The conference was dedicated to the theme of borders in the classical world, which is extremely promising for the understanding of the processes of definition of socio-economic and cultural spaces in ancient times. The theme is addressed in an interpretative perspective that sees the liminal areas as open systems of passage and therefore of contact between different realities; of encounters in essentially fluid places that lead to the development of new and unprecedented relationships and therefore of hybridizations.

The Sanctuary of Artemis Soteira in the Kerameikos of Athens by Constanze Graml In 1890, a newly discovered sanctuary was excavated in the necropolis on the famous Kerameikos of Athens. Guided by the ancient written sources and the expectations of his day, the excavator Kyriakos Mylonas interpreted the precinct as an Imperial Roman sanctuary of the goddess Hekate and researchers came to treat it as that, even though the archaeological discoveries had not yet been fully published. This volume is dedicated to this task. By conducting an in-depth analysis of the site’s entangled excavation and research history together with a new investigation of the actual archaeological findings, Constanze Graml not only redates the district to the Hellenistic period, but also reassigns it to the goddess Artemis Soteira. Based on these results, the sanctuary’s embedding and role in the cult topography of Athens and Attica can finally be seen in a new light. 350p (Harrassowitz Verlag, March 2020, Philippika 136) hardcover, 9783447112864, $200.00.

MacDonald The Santorini eruption is here given the role of a precipitant or catalyst, which began an entire series of changes that eventual- ly resulted in the absorption of Minoan Crete into the Mycenaean and, ultimately, the Greek world. The archaeological evidence suggests a severe economic dislocation during the Late Minoan IB ceramic period in Crete. This appears to have been triggered, first by a tectonic earthquake and shortly afterwards by the eruption of Thera early in the Late Bronze Age (Late Minoan IA). The result of these two natural disasters gave local centers greater independence from the traditional “Palaces”. This fragmen- tation of Minoan Crete brought about the end of the most highly developed economic system in the Aegean. 284p (Peeters Publishers, June 2020, Aegaeum 17) paperback, 9789042924161, $88.00.

It was also home to a vibrant ceramics industry. Drawing on finds yielded during excavations by the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project and other archaeological projects, this volume evaluates the pottery from Gerasa produced in the Late Hellenistic and Roman periods. Typology, development over time, and variations in the Gerasene pot- tery are explored, and rare examples of imported material are analyzed in order to shed light both on the inner workings of the city, and on the networks that extended beyond Gerasa’s walls. 390p, 21 col & 196 b/w illus, 31 tbls (Brepols Publishers, September 2020, Jerash Papers 5) paperback, 9782503585048, $143.00.
