These objects hold great promise for unravelling the ins and outs of daily life, especially for the social groups, activities, and regions for which few written sources exist. Focusing on amulets, brooches, socks, hobnails, figurines, needles, and other 'mundane' artefacts, these 12 papers use small finds to reconstruct social lives and practices in the Roman Northwest provinces. Taking social life broadly, the various contributions offer insights into the everyday use of objects to express social identities, Roman religious practices in the provinces, and life in military communities. By integrating small finds from the Northwest provinces with material, iconographic, and textual evidence from the whole Roman empire, contributors seek to demystify Roman magic and Mithraic religion, discover the latest trends in ancient fashion (socks with sandals!), explore Roman interactions with Neolithic monuments, and explain unusual finds in unexpected places. Throughout, the authors strive to maintain a critical awareness of archaeological contexts and site formation processes to offer interpretations of past peoples and behaviours that most likely reflect the lived reality of the Romans. While the range of topics in this volume gives it wide appeal, scholars working with small finds, religion, dress, and life in the Northwest provinces will find it especially of interest. Small Finds and Ancient Social Practices grew out of a session at the 2014 Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference"--Publisher's website. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Roman provinces|xAntiquities|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2006002121|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Material culture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85082061|zRome|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781|xProvinces|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006529|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Personal belongings|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100103|zRome|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79039816-781|xProvinces|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006529|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024|vCongresses. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 House furnishings|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85062549|zRome|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781|xProvinces|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006529|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Fashion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85047377|zRome|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781|xProvinces|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006529|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Roman provinces|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85115186|xSocial life and customs|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008851|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Social archaeology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85123909|zRome|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79039816-781|xProvinces|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006529|vCongresses.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 7 Roman provinces|xAntiquities.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1765687 650 7 Roman provinces.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354618 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1007815 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 700 1 Whitmore, Alissa,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2016045328|eeditor. 700 1 Hoss, Stefanie,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2005111363|eeditor. 711 2 Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference|n(24th :|d2014 : |cReading, England)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nb2015014991 776 08 |iPrint version:|tSmall finds and ancient social practices in the north-west provinces of the Roman Empire.|dOxford ; Havertown, PA : Oxbow Books, 2016|z9781785702563|w(DLC) 2016030479|w(OCoLC)934606909 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1343280|zOnline eBook.
