Review
Pitts' study of more than 80,000 contextualized artefacts from over 100 sites across the Roman North-West, takes discussion of the transformation of material culture en masse to a new level. Pitts skilfully develops an interpretation that does justice to the micro-level of site specific activity, to the macro-level of globalization theory, never losing site of his empirical analysis. This books is without doubt a game-changer. - Greg Woolf, Director of the Institute of Classical Studies, The School of Advanced Study, London[-][-]"This is an important and innovative work that addresses key issues in the understanding of the development of Roman provincial cultures, deploying contemporary theoretical perspectives yet also engaging in detail with the archaeological material. It makes a very significant contribution both to the particular historical period and to methodology." - Martin Millett, Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology & Head of the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Cambridge
