Stamp assemblages --References --IndexBright red terra sigillata pots dating to the first three centuries CE can be found throughout the Western Roman provinces. The pots' widespread distribution and recognisability make them key evidence in the effort to reconstruct the Roman Empire's economy and society. Drawing on recent ideas in material culture, this book asks a radically new question: what was it about the pots themselves that allowed them to travel so widely and be integrated so quickly into a range of contexts and practices? To answer this question, Van Oyen offers a fresh analysis in which objects are no longer passive props, but rather they actively shape historical trajectories.Amsterdam Archaeological Studies ;23Material cultureRomePottery, ArretineSocial aspectsPottery, RomanSocial aspectsSOCIAL SCIENCE / ArchaeologybisacshRomeCivilizationMaterial culture, material agency, terra sigillata, Roman archaeology.Material culturePottery, ArretineSocial aspects.Pottery, RomanSocial aspects.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Archaeology.LG 4500rvkOyen Astridauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut990108DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996418939003316How Things Make History2264653UNISA
