The modern Hebrew name of the site is based on its suggested identification with biblical Jotbathah (Deut 10:7), where the Israelites encamped during their desert wanderings. The modern Arabic name of the site, Ein Ghadian, may preserve the ancient Roman name Ad Dianam. Because the Late Roman fort at Yotvata is visible as a low mound next to the Arava road, it has long been known to scholars. Each June between 2003 and 2007, Gwyn Davies (Florida International University) and Jodi Magness (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) co-directed excavations here. This volume provides the results of those excavations, adding substantially to our knowledge of Roman defenses in the third and fourth centuries of the Common Era, along the trade route that traversed the southern Arava and on the eastern frontier of the Empire.Kastell(DE-588)4136071-0gndRömerzeit(DE-588)4076769-3gndFunde(DE-588)4071507-3gndArchäologische Stätte(DE-588)4318315-3gndRomansfast(OCoLC)fst01100116Fortification, Romanfast(OCoLC)fst00933044Excavations (Archaeology)fast(OCoLC)fst00917564Classical antiquitiesfast(OCoLC)fst00863445RomansIsraelYoṭvatahFortification, RomanIsraelYoṭvatahExcavations (Archaeology)IsraelYoṭvatahIsraelYoṭvatahfastYoṭvatah (Israel)Antiquities, RomanBildband.Kastell.Römerzeit.Funde.Archäologische Stätte.Romans.Fortification, Roman.Excavations (Archaeology)Classical antiquities.RomansFortification, RomanExcavations (Archaeology)933/.49Davies Gwyn600134Magness Jodi1463175Elkins Nathan T753059MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910797120303321The 2003-2007 Excavations in the Late Roman Fort at Yotvata3789054UNINA04724nam 2200709 450 991081840370332120210427022450.00-8122-9008-910.9783/9780812290080(CKB)3710000000224145(OCoLC)891398220(CaPaEBR)ebrary10909218(SSID)ssj0001343576(PQKBManifestationID)11847448(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001343576(PQKBWorkID)11310018(PQKB)10891429(OCoLC)889219991(MdBmJHUP)muse35429(DE-B1597)449874(DE-B1597)9780812290080(Au-PeEL)EBL3442408(CaPaEBR)ebr10909218(CaONFJC)MIL682665(MiAaPQ)EBC3442408(EXLCZ)99371000000022414520140830h20142014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrRewriting saints and ancestors memory and forgetting in France, 500-1200 /Constance Brittain Bouchard1st ed.Philadelphia, Pennsylvania :University of Pennsylvania Press,2014.©20141 online resource (379 p.)Middle Ages SeriesBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-322-51383-X 0-8122-4636-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Illustrations --Preface --Notes on Terminology --Introduction --1.

Churches in Auxerre --List of Abbreviations --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsThinkers in medieval France constantly reconceptualized what had come before, interpreting past events to give validity to the present and help control the future. The long-dead saints who presided over churches and the ancestors of established dynasties were an especially crucial part of creative memory, Constance Brittain Bouchard contends. In Rewriting Saints and Ancestors she examines how such ex post facto accounts are less an impediment to the writing of accurate history than a crucial tool for understanding the Middle Ages. Working backward through time, Bouchard discusses twelfth-century scribes contemplating the ninth-century documents they copied into cartularies or reworked into narratives of disaster and triumph, ninth-century churchmen deliberately forging supposedly late antique documents as weapons against both kings and other churchmen, and sixth- and seventh-century Gallic writers coming to terms with an early Christianity that had neither the saints nor the monasteries that would become fundamental to religious practice. As they met with political change and social upheaval, each generation decided which events of the past were worth remembering and which were to be reinterpreted or quietly forgotten. By considering memory as an analytic tool, Bouchard not only reveals the ways early medieval writers constructed a useful past but also provides new insights into the nature of record keeping, the changing ways dynasties were conceptualized, the relationships of the Merovingian and Carolingian kings to the church, and the discovery (or invention) of Gaul's earliest martyrs.Middle Ages series.HistoriographyFranceHistoryTo 1500FranceHistoryTo 987HistoriographyFranceHistoryMedieval period, 987-1515HistoriographyFranceHistoryTo 987SourcesFranceHistoryMedieval period, 987-1515SourcesHistory.Medieval and Renaissance Studies.HistoriographyHistory944/.01072Bouchard Constance Brittain836770MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818403703321Rewriting saints and ancestors4081276UNINA
