Bibliography for the Scientist in the Early Roman Empire Bibliography for The Scientist in the Early Roman Empire © 2017 by Richard Carrier All rights reserved. Citation abbreviations commonly used in the notes for Scientist: DSB = Gillispie 1980 EANS = Keyser & Irby-Massie 2012 LSG = Liddell & Scott 1996 LSL = Lewis & Short 1879 NDSB = Koertge 2008 OCD = Hornblower & Spawforth 2012 ODCC = Cross & Livingstone 1997 OLD = Glare 1996 And: Kühn = Kühn 1821-1833 There is no consistent numbering system for passages in Galen other than (in most cases) Kühn 1821-1833, which I give whenever possible. If I provide any other numeration it will follow the scheme used in the most recent English translation of the given work (in most cases that means before 2008; e.g. Mark Grant 2000, P.N. Singer 1997, Iskandar 1988, Walzer & Frede 1985, M.T. May 1968, Walzer 1944, etc.). The following books and articles were used and cited in Scientist, here organized alphabetically by primary author’s last name. That is then followed by first name, any additional author’s names, year of publication, title of book, article or chapter, and then further information locating the work: for books, the publisher; for articles, the journal title, and volume and issue and date, ending with the page numbers; for chapters, what book it is in, with editor and publication info, ending with page numbers. When the same author produced several cited works, entries are organized beneath the oldest work by their name, in ascending chronological order, before moving on to the next author alphabetically. Those additional works are cited only by year, and all the other information. The author’s name is not repeated. Note many of the works in this bibliography are in foreign languages (most commonly German and French), which may or may not read well in text-to- speech software. Absmeier, Robert. 2015.

(May 2012) Christopher Michael Atkinson, B.A. Drexel University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann The fishing method of trawling, or dragging, has long been shown to be harmful to a plethora of sea life inhabiting the world‟s oceans and inland waterways. Fishing nets scour the seabed, disturbing everything in their path, while usually in search of only one type of bottom-dwelling species. Impacts to the seafloor include a removal of topographic features, disturbance of the upper sediment layers, including deep furrows, as well as physical and chemical changes to sediment morphology. While biological organisms and communities can potentially recover from this destruction, archaeological data cannot. Fishermen have been raising important artifacts in their nets for over a century. These finds have helped archaeologists locate significant sites, but they also have the adverse effect of irreparably damaging these sites.

(May 2004) Ayse Devrim Atauz, B.S., Middle East Technical University; M.A., Bilkent University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kevin Crisman Located approximately in the middle of the central Mediterranean channel, the Maltese Archipelago was touched by the historical events that effected the political, economic and cultural environment of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The islands were close to the major maritime routes throughout history and they were often on the border between clashing military, political, religious, and cultural entities. For these reasons, the islands were presumed to have been strategically and economically important, and, thus, frequented by ships. An underwater archaeological survey around the archipelago revealed the scarcity of submerged cultural remains, especially pertaining to shipping and navigation.

  • Strategies for Water Supply in Arabia Petraea During the Nabataean Through Early Islamic Periods: Local Adaptations of the Regional ‘Technological Shelf’
    John Peter Oleson Strategies for Water Supply in Arabia Petraea during the Nabataean through Early Islamic Periods: Local Adaptations of the Regional ‘Technological Shelf’ Summary Excavation by the author at the site of al-Humayma, ancient Hawara, allowed detailed re- construction of the water-supply system that supported this isolated settlement in the hyper- arid Hisma Desert of Southern Jordan. A re-evaluation of the regional water-supply systems in Arabia Petraea from the Nabataean through the Early Islamic phases, shows that some aspects of the systems at Nabataean sites, such as Petra and Hawara, had precedents in the technologies of the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in the region, while others can be traced to developments in the Hellenistic Aegean. Sites such as Petra, Hawara, Iram, and Hegra show that the overall flavor of the water-supply systems remain strictly regional, mostly due to climate, topography, and hydrology. Keywords: Nabataeans; hydraulic technology; technological shelf; cistern; aqueduct Die vom Autor geleitete Ausgrabung in al-Humayma, dem antiken Hawara, ermöglichte eine detaillierte Rekonstruktion des Wasserversorgungssystems, das die isolierte Stätte in der extrem ariden Hisma Wüste im südlichen Jordanien versorgte. Eine Neubewertung der Wasserversorgung in der Arabia Petraea von der nabatäischen bis in die islamische Zeit zeigt, dass die in nabatäischen Siedlungen wie Petra und Hawara gebräuchlichen Systeme technisch teils aus der regionalen Spätbronze- und Eisenzeit hervorgehen, teils in die helle- nistische Ägäis zurückverfolgt werden können. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass der generelle Charakter der Systeme in Siedlungen wie Petra, Hawara, Iram und Hegra regional bleibt, hauptsächlich aufgrund von Klimabedingungen, Topografie und Hydraulik.

  • 12 OVERCOMING ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINISM Introduced Species, Hybrid Plants and Animals, and Transformed Lands in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds
    12 OVERCOMING ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINISM Introduced species, hybrid plants and animals, and transformed lands in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds Jared Secord Introduction The possible damage that can be caused by introduced species of animals and plants is a familiar and much-discussed concept in the twenty-first century, but this was not the case in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds.1 There was nothing in antiquity similar to the furor surrounding the gypsy moth, which has attracted so much attention and withstood so many attempts to eradicate it, ever since it was accidentally introduced to the United States in 1869.2 The closest ancient equivalent is a disaster of a considerably smaller scale. This was the introduction of hares to the small island of Carpathus, an event that gained proverbial status because of the great damage that they caused to the island’s vegetation (Arist. Rh. 3.11 1413a 17–20; cf. Suda λ 30, ο 105, οι 121 Adler; Zen. 4.48).3 The relative silence of ancient authors compared to their modern counterparts about disasters caused by introduced animals or plants is a reflection not simply of the comparatively limited possibilities in the ancient world for international travel and trade, or even of the difficulties involved in noticing the often subtle and long-term changes that can accompany introduced species. This silence is a reflection also of a substantially different attitude regarding animals and plants in the Hel- lenistic and Roman worlds. There was little concern about the possibility that an introduced species of animal or plant might have a harmful impact on its new land.4 And, while there was some recognition of the possibility that entire species of animals or plants might become extinct,5 there was nonetheless little concern about maintaining the original state of the lands to which foreign plants and animals were introduced.
