Together the Dacians and the Getae were the creators of the largest unified power of ancient Europe outside of the Roman Empire, yet each was colonized and integrated into the Roman imperial system differently. Unlike the short-lived but intense Roman experience of the Dacians, the Getae met first Greek colonists, followed by Roman integration in stages over many years. This volume utilizes high-resolution GIS mapping, remote sensing data, and aerial and satellite imagery to demonstrate changes to the landscape and to reconsider human settlement in antiquity. It provides a fresh investigation of the evolution of urbanization and developments in local economy, as well as long-term changes in material culture, social behavior, and identity over more than a thousand years. The Getae offers a realistic appreciation of the character of Roman military occupation and participation of provincial subjects in the Roman imperial system.

Together the Dacians and the Getae were the creators of the largest unified power of ancient Europe outside of the Roman Empire, yet each was colonized and integrated into the Roman imperial system differently. Unlike the short-lived but intense Roman experience of the Dacians, the Getae met first Greek colonists who settled along the western Black Sea shore, followed by Roman expansion and integration of the territory in stages over many years. As the imperial system gradually changed its ideology, priorities, and control mechanisms, the Getae were afforded numerous opportunities for contact and cultural change. The data and literature on the Getae to date has however emerged from traditional site-based investigations and surveys, resulting in heavily biased and fragmented understandings of the scale, nature, and impact of their conquest and colonization. This sweeping volume utilizes high-resolution GIS mapping, extensive analysis of remote sensing data, and archival aerial and satellite imagery to present a holistic view of changes to the landscape and to reconsider the extent of human settlement in antiquity. It offers a fresh investigation of the evolution of urbanization, developments in local economy, taxation, and administration, as well as long-term changes in material culture, social behavior, and identity over a period of more than a thousand years. The Getae offers a uniquely realistic appreciation of the nature and character of Roman military occupation and the participation of provincial subjects in the Roman imperial system.

Despite its unique ideological pathway and sizeable community, the socio-political context of archaeology in Russia and the former Soviet world remains relatively unexplored. Post-Soviet Heritages provides an analysis of the socio-political enmeshment of archaeology and heritage in Russia’s resource colony: Siberia. Exploring indigenous communities, minority groups, governance models and the political and cultural use of cultural heritage this book fills a large gap in our understanding of Russian archaeology and heritage.

The Archaeology of Prehistoric Japan

A geologist weaves together ancient history, personal experience from the world's mines, and the haunting story of his elderly uncle's scholarly life in the aftermath of the Holocaust, to reflect on the nature of a world brought to grief by our rapacity, and to offer a poetic glimpse of the way it can be redeemed. Ever since the Greek and Roman historians speculated on the seemingly ever-growing violence and greed of the world, metal has been to blame. We have gone from a “golden age” of peace and shared plenty, to an “iron age of bloodshed and conquest.” Today, according to geologist Shefa Siegel, we are threatened not by metal, but by its absence. Metal that once lay close enough to the surface of the earth so that primitive miners could more or less chip off what they needed is now so scarce that entire landscapes are pulverized to extract a fine dust of precious, powdered ore.&nbsp;As Siegel writes: “This is what scarcity looks like: not the end of mining, but its endless expansion.” Having travelled to the semi-legal mines of the Third World, Siegel realizes the heartbreaking ecological and human devastation he witnesses is evidence of a more general cultural failing—a mindless turning-away from what truly matters. Mining and the scarcity that drives it seem to him a symptom of a world bent on self-destruction. Grieving the loss of his beloved uncle, a chainsmoking, elderly Manhattanite who devoted his life to words and ideas after fleeing the horrors of mid-twentieth century Europe, and half-broken by the ugliness of the metallurgical world he is reluctantly a part of, Siegel seeks healing in Italy. In Florence, and on the island of Elba, he encounters the history of European mining, from the Etruscans, through the Romans, to the Fascists of the twentieth century, piecing together a legacy of violence and greed. But he also finds himself in a world of natural beauty, of nourishing culture and music. In a work of far-reaching scholarship and a deep fascination with history and culture, Siegel traces the shift in human perspective from the balanced view of nature held by the Etruscans through to the commodification and exploitation we think of as normal today, and hints at a path out of the madness.

Routledge Critical Thinkers

Students in literary studies frequently come across Plato, Aristotle and Longinus, either directly through their names and concepts or indirectly, in the work of writers and theorists responding to them. Eaglestone argues that while great thinkers of antiquity may seem far away, their ideas still shape how we think about literature and culture even today. Contemporary examples illustrate the meaning of the original texts and highlight their continuous relevance.

Situated astride the continents of Asia and Europe, Ionia was a region of crucial importance throughout time. It was home to some of the most important cities of the ancient world, witnessed the unfolding of great historical events and was the birthplace of influential philosophical ideas. However, despite its great importance, it is often overlooked in many general historical surveys and this apparent lack of substantial and accessible publications when compared to other regions is at odds the huge popularity of archaeological sites such as Ephesos and the prominence of Ionian antiquities in the world’s great museums.Nevertheless, research into the region has increased greatly and the sheer range and diversity of debates, methods and data in The World of Ionia volume is a reflection of a subject area that is very much alive and flourishing and that continues to inspire international academic debate at a very highest level. With global contributors having divergent views and a plurality of approaches, the volume provides not a dull overview of the region but a lively debate and fresh perspectives on this important region of the ancient world.
