Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 4 months agoThe analysis of the epigraphic documents from various sites in the Cabrera de Mar valley reveals a clear predominance of Iberian script over Latin, not only in the Iberian oppidum of Burriac, but also in the late-Republican settlement located in the modern centre of the village of Cabrera de Mar; both probably to be identified in ancient times as…[Read more]
Alejandro G. Sinner deposited Epigraphy: The Palaeohispanic Languages in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 4 months agoThe aim of this chapter is to present the most recent state of the arts on these epigraphies and on the languages that they transmit.

Alejandro G. Sinner deposited A central italian coin with Dyonysus/Panther types, and contacts between Central Italy and Spain in the 2nd and 1rst centuries BC in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 4 months agoThree “Dionysus / panther” coins are known from Catalonia, one from excavations at Cabrera de Mar. This is a key component of the Central Italian Assemblage of the Italo-Baetican series, and dates to the late 90s/early 80s BC. The excavation coin probably arrived during the Sertorian Wars (80–72 BC), certainly before 50 BC. We therefore revie…[Read more]
Alejandro G. Sinner deposited Trade between Minturnae and Hispania in the Late Republic in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 4 months agoTwo large complexes of struck lead pieces, from the Roman colony of Minturnae nd from Baetica (southern Spain) in the late Republic, have been documented in recent years.

Alejandro G. Sinner deposited Methods of Palaeodemography: The Case of the Iberian Oppida and Roman Cities in North‐East Spain in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 4 months agoAncient demography is a recurrent topic in archaeology, thanks to new methods and evidence from different surveys and excavations. However, different cultures or periods are studied on their own, without any comparison being made between them and of their population dynamics. The present paper seeks to advance the situation by defining…[Read more]
Alejandro G. Sinner deposited Baitolo, una doble inscripción ibérica en un cepo de ancla de plomo del siglo I a.C. in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 4 months agoThe lead stock in the Guerra collection is the first of its category found with an Iberian inscription: baitolo. The most feasible interpretation is to consider it as a place name, either as the name of the city of baitolo/Baetulo, the modern Badalona, which issued coins with the legend baitolo in the 2nd quarter of the 1st c. BC, or as the name…[Read more]

Justin Walsh deposited Contextualizing Greek Pottery at Hallstatt Sites in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 7 months agoSeventeen years ago, Brian Shefton wrote, “the distribution pattern of the Greek imports for the Hallstatt period has crystallized a number of years ago and is unlikely to be greatly modified in the future except on point of detail” (Böhr and Shefton 2000, 28). Indeed, publications describing Greek pottery have reached similar conclusions: Gree…[Read more]

Henry Colburn deposited Roman collecting and the biographies of Egyptian Late Period statues in the group
Classical archaeology on Humanities Commons 1 year, 4 months agoStudies of Egyptian Late Period statuary often assume that the extant corpus is a representative sample of the artistic output of the Twenty-Sixth to Thirty-First Dynasties (c. 664–332 BCE). This assumption ignores the various human processes that affect the survival of statues after their initial dedication. In particular, the Roman practice of c…[Read more]
