Lavan , E. Zanini and A. Sarantis.This book is the first general work to be published on technology in Late Antiquity. It seeks to survey aspects of the technology of the period and to respond to questions about technological continuity, stagnation and decline. The book opens with a comprehensive bibliographic essay that provides an overview of relevant literature. The main section then explores technologies in agriculture, production (metal, ceramics and glass), engineering and building. Papers draw on both archaeological and textual sources, and on analogies with medieval and early modern technologies. Reference is made not only to the periods which preceded it, but to the transition to the Early Middle Ages and to the technological heritage of Late Antiquity to the Islamic world. Several papers focus on Italy, whilst others consider North Africa, Asia Minor, and the Near-East.Late antique archaeology ;v. 4.TechnologyMediterranean RegionHistoryMediterranean RegionAntiquitiesMediterranean RegionHistoryTechnologyHistory.609.182/209015Lavan Luke1088042Zanini Enrico163282Sarantis Alexander Constantine1978-1475338MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792451503321Technology in transition3856515UNINA
