Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Construction Process in Historical Western Societies (6th C. BC - 10th C. AD) brings together studies devoted to the management of material resources in the architecture of Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, exploring how past societies obtained, transformed, and reused materials intended for construction. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book connects archaeology, geology, economic history, and architectural analysis in order to understand the processes that made possible the building of cities and monuments. The contributions examine the supply chains of stone, marble, and other resources; the techniques of extraction and carving; the organization of construction workshops; and the long-distance circulation of materials. A cross-cutting theme is the reuse of ancient architectural elements, a phenomenon that reveals both economic strategies and cultural and symbolic changes in the use of urban space. The volume is characterized by the application of innovative methodologies that combine archaeometric analyses, quarry surveys, the study of tool marks, and digital documentation tools. This diversity of approaches makes it possible to reconstruct more precisely the construction processes and production systems associated with historical architecture. Beyond providing new data, the book proposes future lines of research focused on the comparative study of supply networks, the experimental reconstruction of ancient techniques, and the use of digital technologies to model construction processes. Taken together, it offers a broad and up-to-date view of past architecture as the result of interrelated technical, economic, and social decisions. This volume explores how ancient and early medieval societies sourced, crafted, transported, and reused construction materials. Through interdisciplinary studies--archaeology, geology, economics, and architecture--it examines supply networks, quarrying, workshops, long-distance trade, and spolia, offering new methods and future research directions.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - From Concept to Monument: Time and Costs of Construction in the Ancient World celebrates Janet DeLaine's seminal work on Roman architecture and construction. One of the foremost scholars of the last decades, her pioneering research has offered important insights not only into individual structures in central Italy but also into the processes involved in creating ancient buildings. Her approach has provided important conceptual frameworks that have allowed scholars to understand Roman buildings in their proper social and economic contexts. The volume collects papers from an international conference held in Janet's honour at Wolfson College, Oxford, in January 2020. The various contributions focus on modelling the costs of construction over the course of 2,500 years, from Bronze Age Greece to the early Middle Ages. They discuss both broader issues of methodology and particular case studies, with particular attention to the effort needed in the different steps of architectural creation, such as the exploitation of raw materials (e.g. quarries), transport, and the construction processes on building sites. The papers not only cover a wide chronological and geographical area of the ancient world but also take up many of the themes explored by Janet throughout her career on Roman architecture, urbanism, building technologies, materials, and the principles of design. The wide range of papers reflects the scope and vibrancy of Janet's scholarship on Roman architecture and her enormous contribution to the discipline.…
