Technology, Crafting and Artisanal Networks in the Greek and Roman World: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Ceramics

Technology, Crafting and Artisanal Networks in the Greek and Roman World Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Ceramics Edited by: Diego Elia , Eleni Hasaki and Marco SerinoAbout this book This volume aims to merge theoretical models with methodological approaches on ceramic technology and artisanal networks in the Classical world. This convergence of analytical frameworks allowed scholars to explore some traditional archaeological topics that usually have a very low-level of visibility, such as the skillful gestures of the craftspeople involved, the organization of the ceramic production, the dynamics of apprenticeship and knowledge transfer as well as intra and inter-regional artisanal mobility, in the Graeco-Roman ?communities of practice?.The papers promote interdisciplinary dialogues among various fields of study, such as archaeology, archaeometry, anthropology, ethnoarchaeology, experimental archaeology, and digital humanities – such as Social Network Analysis, computational imaging, and big data analysis.Author Editor information Marco Serino and Diego Elia, University of Turin, Italy; Eleni Hasaki, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA.FrontmatterAcknowledgementsEditorial BoardContentsIntroduction 1 The A.G.A.T.H.O.C.L.E.S.
