520 2 "Small finds--the stuff of everyday life--offer
archaeologists a fascinating glimpse into the material
lives of the ancient Romans. 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.
