Visions of Rome: Thomas Ashby Archaeologist
ISBN: 9780904152340 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), the first scholar and third director of the British School of Rome died at tragically young age when he tumbled from a train. His The Roman Campagna in Classical Times remains a classic work of topographic research. This book, written by another former director, tells the story of his life as an academic, as the director responsible for building the British School at Rome in the Valle Giulia, as an ambulance driver in World War I, as an avid photographer and, in the author's view, as the victim of the British tendency towards dark moral judgement.

Mohammed, Charlemagne, and the Origins of Europe: The Pirenne Thesis in the Light of Archaeology
ISBN: 9780801492624 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The archaeology of the period A.D. 500-1000 has taken off in the Mediterranean (where prehistoric and classical studies formerly enjoyed a virtual monopoly in most areas) and in the Islamic world. Here, as in northern Europe, field survey, careful excavation and improved methods of dating are beginning to supply information which now is not only more abundant but also of much higher quality than ever before. The 'New Archaeology', pioneered in the United States in the 1960s, has taught the archaeologist the value of anthropological models in the study of the past. The new data and models...

'You must be very patient', most everyone asserts admiringly on encountering an archaeologist. Patience in the pursuit of history instantly earns consideration. Patience to sift through the soil to discover treasure, from gold to unidentifiable knick-knacks - an educated beachcomber. But, patience does not come into it so much as the chemistry of experiences from being in the company of others as the five senses are provoked and satisfied by the buried unexpected. Archaeology is about hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching past textures in our time. With these senses, in...

Boat remains, coins and trade artifacts are all examined.... It was in the second half of the first millennium A.D. that northern Europe took on the basic configuration that it now presents.

San Vincenzo Maggiore and Its Workshops
ISBN: 9780904152586 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The San Vincenzo Project began in 1980 as a collaboration with the Soprintendenza Archaeologica del Molise.

Over the following eighteen years, a large multidisciplinary project was undertaken involving archaeologists, historians and art historians. This consisted of major open-area excavations of the early medieval monastery, of which the celebrated crypt proved to be a modest funerary oratory at the northern limits of the site. The project also involved...

ISBN: 9781474245913 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How did small-scale societies in the past experience and respond to sea-level rise?
