Abstract:

LA CAPPELLA DI S. ZENO: UNA PREGHIERA PER LA SALVEZZAIl programma decorativo del mosaico di nono secolo della cappella di S. Zeno in Santa Prassede a Roma dove è sepolta Teodora, madre di Papa Pasquale I (817–824), è analizzato nella tradizione iconografica dei suoi componenti e nel senso specifico della composizione nel suo insieme. Il significato sotteso è identificato come intimemente connesso al tema della salvezza di Teodora. Tutti gli elementi del programma decorativo fanno riferimento alia sua morte, ai riti funerari, alle intercessioni dei suoi santi protettori, ed al suo destino nel giorno del giudizio. Il programma in se' è riconosciuto come bizantino e fondato sui dettati del secondo concilio di Nicea del 787. La fattura, invece, è romana ed i moduli iconografici furono scelti nel repertorio tipico dell'arte cristiana delle origini in Italia.Il tipo di composizione scelto da Pasquale I per la decorazione mosaica che, tra quelle conservate, riveste un significato maggiormente personale, rivela un aspetto nuovo del suo mecenatismo, fino ad ora ritenuto di natura essenzialmente antiquaria ed interessato alia riproposizione delle glorie della Chiesa critstiana delle origini in Roma. Per la cappella di S. Zeno, al contrario, Pasquale I scelse una moderna composizione di stile orientale per il luogo di sepoltura della madre, unico esempio sopravvissuto di un suo mecenatismo di natura maggiormente privata che officiale.

Abstract:

ItalianoNel corso di un’asta di antichità della casa Bonham’s tenutasi a Londra il 30 novembre del 2016 sono riapparsi alcuni cinerari romani: due urne e un altare dei quali si ignorava la collocazione da quando furono alienati dalla collezione di Lowther Castle nel 1947. Gli oggetti, tutti di provenienza urbana, hanno viaggiato per l’Europa attraversando diverse collezioni private rimanendo perciò lontani dal grande pubblico e dalle indagini storico-artistiche. La conseguente estrema penuria di letteratura su questi manufatti ha reso opportuna la realizzazione di questa nota, con la quale si vuole ricostruire la provenienza degli oggetti, individuarne il momento della produzione sulla scorta delle loro caratteristiche stilistiche e formali cogliendo l’occasione per affrontare alcune tematiche specifiche dell’iconografia funeraria romana. EnglishDuring an auction of antiquities held by Bonham's in London on November 30, 2016, some Roman cineraries reappeared: two urns and an altar, which were believed lost after they were alienated from the Lowther Castle collection in 1947. The objects, all of urban origin, traveled across Europe through various private collections, thus far away from the public and historical-artistic investigations. The extreme shortage of literature on these three artifacts leaded to the writing of this note which objective is to reconstruct the provenance of the cineraries, to identify the time of production by analyzing their stylistic and formal features while facing some specific themes of Roman funerary iconography.

Los objetos, todos de origen urbana, viajaron a través de Europa pasando por varias colecciones privadas, lejos de el público y de la investigación histórico-artística. La extrema escasez de literatura sobre estos tres artefactos condujo a la redacción de esta nota cuyo objetivo es reconstruir la procedencia de los cinerarios, identificar el tiempo de producción analizando sus rasgos estilísticos y formales mientras se enfrenta a algunos temas específicos de la iconografía funeraria romana.

Abstract:

The research focuses on the generation of 3D models aimed at creating interactive virtual environments as the outcomes of scalar representations of existing realities. The purpose is to increase the narration, fruition, and dissemination of the findings that emerged from the archaeological investigations carried out in a large sector of the south-eastern suburbs of Rome. In this context, the research proposes a process oriented toward designing a virtual museum of the first group of works from the Appia Antica Archaeological Park and now exhibited at the Museo Nazionale Romano, the Antiquarium di Lucrezia Romana, and the Antiquarium di Villa Dei Quintili. Managing high historical and cultural findings through geometrical surveys, high-resolution data from 3D survey analysis, archival research, and interactive digital representation is the aim of the study. The digitisation of artefacts has made it possible to build new forms of communication that enrich virtual and on-site visits with content, both of the park and of the Museums that host the collections. In particular, it has gradually allowed a ‘virtual’ relocation of works from the Appia Park, favouring the definition of a method capable of communicating new content and laying the basis for the development of a virtual museum, a temporary exhibition, and a web platform for one of the most important historical sites of ancient Rome.

AbstractThis paper identifies a neglected manuscript, Viterbo, Centro Diocesano di Documentazione (CeDiDo), Capitolare 51 (R), as the extant archetype of the Libri Romani version of the glossary of Placidus. It first demonstrates that R is the parent of the three witnesses to the Libri Romani text used by editors, and it considers the implications of the neglected manuscript for future editions of the text. It then corroborates the importance of R by tracing its travels in humanistic and antiquarian circles in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This history provides a framework for future research on the textual transmission of the Libri Romani text of Placidus.

Abstract:

The sole surviving monumental column from the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine is the focus of Paul V, the Column of the Virgin, and the New Pax Romana. In 1613 Pope Paul V removed and re-erected this column at the center of Piazza S. Maria Maggiore in Rome, crowning it with a gilded bronze statue of the Virgin and Child. After reconstructing the little-known history of the monument and situating it within the history of honorific columns and Paul's urban planning, Steven F. Ostrow examines the antiquarian interest it long held, what was known about its original context, and the symbolic associations with which it was endowed. This close reading of Paul's monument demonstrates how, by appropriating the column and topping it with a statue of the Virgin, the pope eloquently expressed the Church's longstanding belief in Mary as a bringer of peace and the protector of Rome.

Abstract:

This is the publication of an as yet unpublished recently acquired large stepped slab dating from the orientalising period. It was delivered to the Antiquarium of Monte Romano (Vt) by the local resident who found it. The find comes from the “Ancarano” area of Tarquinia which is near the border of the Monte Romano district. The piece is of the stepped slab class, typical of seventh century BC production from Tarquinia. The slab completes a similar one which was also from Tarquinia but is conserved in the Archaeological Museum of Florence and was purchased from Mr Milani in Tarquinia at the end of the nineteenth century. Through photocomposition and integrated graphic restoration we propose a reading which links the two finds. Hence the decoration of an important funerary monument has emerged, most likely belonging to an Etruscan prince who recounts his hunting exploits, which are symbolic of elevated social status.

Abstract:

This article explores the relationship between historical truth and rhetorical education in theAntiquitates Romanaeof Dionysius of Halicarnassus. These two concerns dominate Dionysius' output, and have provided fuel for a long tradition of adverse criticism. Schwartz'sREarticle set the standard for a series of dismissive accounts; his premise is that by choosing a period of such remote history, Dionysius can fulfil his desire to make history the servant of rhetorical display, adding, with scorn, that Dionysius' love of the Romans disqualifies him from being a real Greek. Palm, still using Schwartz over fifty years later, is so convinced that Dionysius cannot have believed what he was writing that he ascribes the meticulously executed proof that the Romans were Greeks to ‘paradoxe Effekte’, in which anyone writing a rhetorical exercise of this kind would be careful to indulge. Polemic has recently waned, although by far the most common use of Dionysius' history is as a source for antiquarian anecdote or the lost annalistic tradition, often to highlight the originality of Livy. The recently published lectures of Gabba will do much to redress the balance, and are the first concerted attempt at harmonizing the details of Dionysius' rhetorical theory with his history.

Abstract:

Pierre-François Hugues, ou Barão de Hancarville, foi um antiquarista dedicado ao estudo de cerâmicas cujo trabalho foi desenvolvido sobretudo na baía de Nápoles, no século XVIII, quando se começava a escavar Pompeia e Herculano. Embora esse autor tenha uma obra de relevância para os estudiosos de cerâmica da Antiguidade Clássica, Hancarville também foi autor de obras menos técnicas dedicadas ao estudo de monumentos falsos e dos hábitos sexuais mais curiosos dos antigos Romanos. Nesse artigo, intencionamos realizar um estudo sobre a maneira como o autointitulado Barão se apossava do passado Clássico, em obras falsas e de caráter libertino, para gerar uma reflexão que atingia também o seu presente. Para tanto, empreenderemos, primeiro, uma discussão sobre os estudos de Usos do Passado no Brasil e de que maneiras nos vale se aproximar dessa forma de pensar a Arqueologia e a História. Em um segundo momento, buscaremos pensar a maneira como se conforma o pensamento do estudioso sobre a Antiguidade e sobre a sexualidade. Intencionamos, com isso, mostrar que mesmo em se tratando de monumentos inventados, o antiquarista desenvolvia um pensamento fundamentado na leitura de documentação e na análise próxima à historiografia. Que seu pensamento tenha ficado de lado, ou que tenha influenciado unicamente teorias mais críticas sobre o passado, aponta para algumas das exclusões com as quais se formou a disciplina de História Antiga.

Abstract:

Frank McGuinness's Carthaginians (1988) uses the historical relation between Rome and Carthage as a metaphor for the contemporary struggles between Britain and the nationalist community in the North of Ireland. The play, an elegy for thirteen Irish civilians murdered by British paratroopers on Bloody Sunday (30 Jan. 1972) in Derry, draws subversive power from a trope that since the eighteenth century has focused imaginative Irish resistance to British colonial rule. I first explore the history and the gendering of the trope, from early English myths of Trojan descent and medieval Irish genealogies through eighteenth-century antiquarians and philologists, nineteenth-century novelists, Matthew Arnold, and James Joyce. I then examine poems from Seamus Heaney's North, Brian Friel's play Translations, and McGuinness's Carthaginians to show how the pressure of history has revitalized the Rome-Carthage trope, which functions as origin myth, colonial parable, and site of intersection between nationalism and sexuality.

Abstract:

POZZI E POLITICA: INTERPRETANDO I FORA DELLE COLONIE NELL'ITALIA REPUBBLICANAL'articolo affronta il rapporto tra Roma e le sue colonie in Italia nel periodo repubblicano attraverso un'analisi dei fora delle colonie e, in particolare, di una serie di pozzi trovati a Cosa, Alba Fucens, Fregellae e Paestum. Le moderne interpretazioni di queste strutture come parte della messa in opera pratica e rituale dei luoghi in cui si tenevano le assemblee popolari viene valutata criticamente e vengono chiariti i problemi metodologici e pratici che riguardano l'applicazione di questa teoria ai resti archeologici. L'esistenza di un modello romano specifico viene messa in discussione, così pure l'applicabilità delle descrizioni antiquarie degli spazi inaugurati (templa) alle strutture coloniali. I pozzi sembrano troppo eterogenei per essere collocati entro un unico modello esplicativo e probabilmente servivano ad un numero vario di attività sia pratiche che rituali.

Abstract:

This short paper describes the remains of prehistoric settlements, chambered tombs, a promontory fort, a prehistoric defensive wall, a rectilinear field system, and other field systems on marginal land at St David's Head. Antiquarians and archaeologists have known of these remains for over two centuries, but it is only through modern surveying techniques and aerial photography that their true nature can be appreciated. The defensive wall and associated rectilinear field system could have originated from the 2nd millennium BC through to the 1st millennium BC. Other field systems and settlements are likely to be of later prehistoric or Romano-British origin. Elements of the field systems have influenced and are preserved in the modern ‘Pembrokeshire’ landscape which borders the headland.

Abstract:

In the second half of the eighteenth century, archaeological activities in Rome intensified considerably under the pontificate of Pius VI (1775–99), and new excavations in the Roman Campagna and the Latium, together with the erection of the Museo Pio Clementino (1776–84), excited considerable interest in Roman learned and literary circles. A young poet who had moved to Rome from Romagna, Vincenzo Monti (1754–1828), obtained his first great success by celebrating the new discoveries in a memorable poem, La prosopopea di Pericle. In it, a newly found herm of Pericles sings of Pius's pontificate as a new golden age for the arts. Monti, who was to become Italy's most authoritative man of letters in the following decades, befriended in those years, and received considerable assistance from, the leading antiquarian of that age, Ennio Quirino Visconti (1751–1818). Their relationship and its legacy provide the subject of this paper, with emphasis on Monti's early poetry, its significance for the literary history of the neoclassical age, and its role in shaping a novel poetic style intended for the praise of ancient art.

Abstract:

Abstract This study represents a synthesis of recent faunistical results (2012-2015), regarding the Macrolepidoptera of Dobrogea (south-eastern Romania) (Fig. 1A). Records of species of great faunistical and zoogeographical importance for the Romanian fauna are included. Eublemma porphyrina (Freyer, 1844) is reported for the first time in the Romanian fauna. The presence of several species known in the country based exclusively on very old records is confirmed (e.g. Dryobotodes carbonis (F. Wagner, 1831), Eremodrina pertinax (Staudinger, 1879), Zekelita antiqualis (Hübner, [1809])). Certain rare species with few records are also presented, such as Catopta thrips (Hübner, 1818), Sphingonaepiopsis gorgoniades (Hübner, 1819), Grammodes bifasciata (Petagna, 1787), Clytie syriaca (Bugnion, 1837), Symira dentinosa Freyer, 1839, Chazaria incarnata (Freyer, 1838), Protarchanara brevilinea (Fenn, 1864), Polymixis rufocincta (Geyer, [1828]), Gortyna cervago Eversmann, 1844, Dichagyris melanura (Kollar, 1846), Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) admetus (Esper, 1783), Libythea celtis (Laicharting in Fuessly, 1782), Kirinia roxelana (Cramer, 1777), etc. Several Macrolepidoptera species recorded for the first time in Dobrogea are also included, eg: Hyloicus pinastri (Linnaeus, 1758), Cyclophora quercimontaria (Bastelberger, 1897), Perconia strigillaria (Hübner, 1787), Dryobotodes carbonis (F. Wagner, 1831), Meganephria bimaculosa (Linnaeus, 1767), Cerastis leucographa ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Noctua janthe (Borkhausen, 1792). There are 602 Macrolepidoptera species listed in this work. The studied localities have not been, or have been only little investigated previously in terms of Lepidoptera fauna, eg: Creasta Cardonului-Hamcearca, Enisala (Tulcea County), Fântâniţa-Murfatlar, Allah Bair Hill, Esechioi Forest, Oltina, Şipotele (Constanţa County). The study also includes aspects of zoogeography, invasive species, protection of habitats and protection of endangered species.

Abstract:

Resumen: El análisis de las actividades y publicaciones de contenido anticuario/ arqueológico durante los siglos XIX y XX realizadas en España lleva a la conclusión de que no hay un tratamiento especial de la figura de Augusto en el marco de la arqueología española. Ello a pesar de que la Hispania romana se estructuró en el periodo augusteo para un largo periodo de siglos, pero la historiografía española destaca otros períodos o personajes, como los de César o Trajano, por ejemplo. Más bien hay que hablar de “lo augusteo”, y esperar a momentos relativamente avanzados de la arqueología española, en concreto desde el último cuarto del siglo XX, para advertir un mayor interés por el período del principado, en el marco del desarrollo de la arqueología clásica en España y bajo la influencia de procesos foráneos.Palabras clave: Augusto, Arqueología augustea, Hispania, Historiografía arqueológica.Abstract: An analysis of Spanish archaeological and antiquary activities and publications during the 19th and 20th centuries leads to the conclusion that no special treatment was given to the public figure of Augustus by Spanish archaeology. Despite the fact that the Roman Hispania was organized in the Augustan period and lasted many centuries, Spanish historiography emphasises other periods and public personalities, such as Caesar and Trajan. Instead discussion was of the Augustan period, and not until the last quarter of the 20th century was there greater interest for the period of the Principate, in relation with the development of classical archaeology in Spain and under the influence of outside processes.Key words: Augustus, Augustan Archaeology, Hispania, Archaeological Historiography.

Abstract:

Nos meados do séc. XVIII um lavrador descobriu acidentalmente entre Armês e Lameiras, Sintra – “Zona Oeste” do Município Olisiponense – uma lápide romana com duplo epitáfio gravado em duas colunas paralelas. Deste achado, entretanto novamente perdido, possuímos apenas uma transcrição manuscrita conservada na Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa (COD. 425 fl. 94), exarada por um anónimo antiquarista que chegou a analisar o monumento in loco. Porém não se apercebeu estar perante uma epígrafe distribuída em duas colunas, copiando pois as letras ao corrido, sem respeitar nem separação de colunas nem, mesmo, de linhas, resultando assim um texto caótico e a priori incompreensível. Hübner (in CIL II 265) tentou reconstituir o original, mas pressupondo que a primeira palavra, que considerou abreviada, era comum aos dois epitáfios, enveredou por um caminho complexo e equívoco que admitia dois antropónimos supostamente paleohispânicos de todo desconhecidos – *Alteciniris (gen.) e *Licassi (gen.) –, bem como o desempenho da augustalidade por escravos. Devido à autoridade do autor de CIL II estas anomalias foram aceites por outros investigadores, alguns de incontestável prestígio, embora também tenham surgido vozes discordantes e mesmo cépticas. Reexaminando o manuscrito setecentista, procurámos nele indícios que nos permitissem, sem preconceitos prévios, elaborar uma renovada restituição da epígrafe original. O resultado conseguido aponta para um texto normal e desprovido de estranhezas ou irregularidades: trata-se tão-só, afinal, dos paralelos epitáfios de dois escravos, Augustinus G(aii) Licini(i) Bassi ser(vus) e Euticus L(ucii) Cassi(i) Alteris ser(vus) – que aliás não apresentam quaisquer cargos mas, apenas, os respectivos elementos onomásticos identificadores. Mais tarde veio a surgir, no mesmo sítio arqueológico, uma nova lápide cujo teor confirma, de algum modo, a nossa anterior reconstituição: trata-se da estela funerária de [-] Licinius Bassus.

Abstract:

The article investigates and publishes a previously unknown note-autograph of Orest Nasturel, a famous book figure of the first half of the 17th century, who made a significant contribution to the popular education in Wallachia. Orest Nasturel held the high position of the second logothete at the court of the Wallachian ruler Matei Basarab. Despite his busy schedule, he devoted much of his time to collecting ancient manuscripts, translating Latin and Church Slavonic books into Romanian, and publishing them. Establishing the facts of Orest Nasturel’s biography is based, in historiography, on the analysis of the records he left in books. The scientific novelty of this research stems from the fact that, for the first time, there is introduced into scientific circulation Orest Nasturel’s handwritten owner’s entry, found in the manuscript book of Catecheses of Theodore the Studite in the Collection of SlavonicRussian Manuscripts of E.E. Egorov of the Russian State Library (Manuscripts Department, coll. 98, no. 949). According to this record, dated 1642, Orest Nasturel, inspecting once the sovereign’s monasteries, found in the Snagov Monastery (now Romania) an ancient manuscript crumbling from decay. Since it was not possible to save it, Orest Nasturel made a long journey to Rybnitsa (now the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic), where a famous book master named Nikolai made for him, in 1642, a copy of this book, which Orest then put into the Trinity Cozia Monastery (now Romania.) In the 19th century, the book was taken in Russia, probably by Russian old believers, where it first came to the collection of the antiquarian-bookseller I.L. Silin, and then was purchased from him by E.E. Egorov. The author conducted the dating of the manuscript’s watermarks (the 1640s) and compared the note’s handwriting with known autographs of Orest Nasturel. It is noted that the beautiful head-piece and the initials of Egorov’s Collection are close to the manuscript of Octoechos of the middle of the 17th century, stored in Belgrade in the Library of Serbian Patriarchate. According to a postscript in it, the Octoechos was made in a Slavic monastery of Athos. It is established that such decoration was quite popular for South Slavic manuscripts in the middle of the 17th century, and, therefore, it was hardly copied by the scribe Nikolai from an ancient original. The main results of the study are the detection, identification, attribution, reading and publication of the previously unknown note-autograph, as well as geographical and chronological localization of the list. The author emphasizes the value of Egorov’s Collection for studying by the specialists in the field of philology and linguistics, and sets a promising task of recreating the content, language features and dating of the lost protograph.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to Cyrillic handwritten books of the XIII–XIX centuries, created in the Romanian principalities, and stored today in the manuscript collections of the Russian State Library. The uniqueness of the writing system, functioning in the principalities (Wallachia, Moldavia, Transylvania) since their political formation, is that it was a Cyrillic script based on the old Slavic language with a predominant Roman-speaking population. In course of the writing system’ development in the principalities, there was a transition from the Slavic font to the Latin one; the intermediate result of this transition was the creation of monuments written in Romanian language with Cyrillic script. The main stages of this process are considered by reference to the specific examples of unique handwritten books and their fragments that have become objects for collecting by scientists, antiquaries, and Old Believers, whose book collections have formed the basis of the handwritten collections of the Russian State Library. They are the oldest Cyrillic manuscripts and their fragments dated to the XII–XIV centuries, found on the territory of Romania, Slavic manuscripts, produced mainly in monasteries of principalities in the XV–XVII centuries, translations of individual words into the Romanian language in the rewritten Slavic texts in the XVI century; the glosses and comments in Romanian on the margins of Slavic manuscripts in the XVI–XVIII centuries; numerous notes in the Romanian language in the manuscripts of the XVI–XVIII centuries, made by owners and readers; translations of literary monuments, including bilingual (Slavic–Romanian) and trilingual (Slavic–Latin–Romanian) versions in the XVI–XVIII centuries; Romanian–Slavic and Slavic–Romanian dictionaries in the XVII–XVIII centuries; letters and their copies in the Romanian language (sureties) in the XVI–XIX centuries. The article is an intermediate outcome of studying and describing Cyrillic Romanian handwritten books in the collections of the Russian State Library, which will result in the publication of a hard–copy catalog.

Abstract:

Wayland's Smithy, on the north scarp of the downs above the Vale of the White Horse, is a two-phase Neolithic tomb. It has been a recognized feature of the historic landscape since at least the 10th century AD. It was recorded by Aubrey and later antiquaries, and continued to be of interest in the 19th century. It was amongst the first monuments to be protected by scheduling from 1882. The first excavations in 1919–20 were haphazardly organized and poorly recorded, but served to confirm, as suggested by Akerman and Thurnam, that the stone terminal chamber was transepted, to show that it had held burials, and to indicate the likely existence of an earlier structural phase.Further excavations took place in 1962–63 to explore the monument more and restore it for better presentation. The excavations revealed a two-phase monument. Wayland's Smithy I is a small oval barrow, defined by flanking ditches, an oval kerb, and a low chalk and sarsen barrow. It contains a mortuary structure defined by large pits which held posts of split trunks, a pavement, and opposed linear cairns of sarsen. This has been seen as the remains of a pitched and ridged mortuary tent, in the manner proposed also for the structure under the Fussell's Lodge long barrow, but in the light of ensuing debate and of subsequent discoveries elsewhere, it can also be seen as an embanked, box-like structure, perhaps with a flat wooden roof. This structure contained the remains of at least fourteen human skeletons, in varying states of completeness. The burial rite may have included primary burial or exposure elsewhere, but some at least of the bodies could have been deposited directly into the mortuary structure, and subsequent circulation or removal of bones cannot be discounted. Little silt accumulated in the ditches of phase I before the construction of phase II, and a charcoal sample from this interval gave a date of 3700–3390 BC.Wayland's Smithy II consists of a low sarsen-kerbed trapezoidal barrow, with flanking ditches, which follows the north–south alignment of phase I. At the south end there was a façade of larger sarsen stones, from which ran back a short passage leading to a transepted chamber, roofed with substantial capstones. This could have risen above the surrounding barrow. The excavations of 1919–20 revealed the presence of incomplete human burials in the west transept; the chamber had probably already been disturbed. The excavations of 1962–63 revealed further structural detail of the surrounds of the chamber, including a sarsen cairn piled in front and around it; deposits of calcium carbonate well up the walls of the chamber could be taken to suggest the former existence of chalk rubble blocking, in the manner of the West Kennet long barrow.The monuments were built over a thin chalk soil which had been a little disturbed. The molluscan evidence shows open surroundings. Molluscan samples from the ditch of Wayland's Smithy II show subsequent regeneration of woodland.Later activity on the site took the form of field ditches and lynchets, part of locally extensive field systems in the Iron Age and Romano-British period. Molluscan samples show again open country. There is evidence for disturbance of the tomb in late prehistoric and Roman times, and the denudation of the barrow had probably largely been effected by the end of the Roman era.Wayland's Smithy provides important evidence for the sequence and development of Neolithic mortuary structures and burials. It is possible to suggest a gradual development for the structures ofWayland's Smithy I, in which opposed pits and substantial posts were incorporated into a box-like, linear mortuary structure, which in turn was incorporated into a small barrow. The subsequent construction of Wayland's Smithy II has become a classic example of the succession from small to large, and fits the late date of tombs with transepted chambers suggested by recent study of other sites. The nature of the circumstances surrounding this transformation remains unclear. The burials of phase I suggest the necessity of revising current notions about the ubiquity of secondary disposal in mortuary structures and tombs. In situtransformations suggest a very active concern with the dead, and offset the non-monumental character of the primary mortuary structure. In the relative absence of other detailed local evidence it is hard to relate the site to its local context, though comparisons can be drawn with the sequences of the neighbouring upper Thames valley and the upper Kennet valley and surrounding downland.

Abstract:

AbstractPhosphorus is found to be a common impurity in many of the iron tools and weapons produced during the pre-Roman and Roman Iron Ages of Britain (600 BC - 300 AD). The effects of this impurity on the properties and performance of antiquarian materials is not well understood, however. This paper presents the initial findings of an in-depth study of the distribution, chemistry, and effects of phosphorus in Romano-British ironwork. For this purpose, two Romano-British iron artifacts from the site of Ircheoter, Northamptonshire, were examined using powerful techniques for archeological materials analysis that include electron microprobe, secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energydispersive x-ray spectroscopy capabilities (EDXS), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). It was found that phosphorous was indeed present in the artifacts. The phosphorus atoms were predominantly segregated at grain boundaries and thus should have led to a lowering of grain boundary cohesion and a degradation in the performance of the tools.

Abstract:

The first part of this article focuses on a discovery that, at least at first sight, could be considered homogeneous regarding the context and the place of discovery. In the inventory of the British Museum this appears under the label „Copper alloy horse trappings (Bronze Age)”, having as place of provenance „Grosswardein (Oradea county)” (fig. 1).The museum’s online catalogue informs that the objects were acquired in 1926 from László Mauthner. One year after the purchase, Reginald A. Smith argued that they represented a funerary discovery, coming „from a grave of the late Bronze Age at Grosswardein, Hungary” (fig. 2). It is a known fact that Mauthner was a controversial figure of the trade with antiquities at the beginning of the 20th century in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. More than probable it was Maunther the one who presented them on the antiquities market as the inventory of a grave. He put together pieces with different sources in order to increase their market value. This article surveys 27 pieces such as chain hangers (Kettengehänge) discovered in „Hungary?, coming from the old collection of the Gödöllo Museum” (pl. III/1, IV/1); a shield buckle (Schildbuckel) that was part of the deposit at Oradea I (pl. I/3, II/3); a phalera (Bronzescheiben), probably from the deposit in Oradea IV (pl. I/2, II/2); four crescent pendants with vertically perforated shanks (Durchbrochene halbmondförmige Anhänger mit vertikal durchlochtem Stiel), probably from the deposit at Oradea IV (pl. V/1–4, VI/1–4); four wheel pendants (Radanhänger) probably from the deposit at Biharea or Oradea IV (pl. V/7, VI/7); seven conical pendants with triangular openings (Kegeligen Anhänger mit dreieckigen Durchbrechungen), probably from the deposit at Oradea IV (pl. VII/1–7, VIII/1–6); two hourglass pendants (Sanduhrförmigen Anhänger) from Oradea IV (pl. III/2–3, IV/2–3); and seven bronze tutuli (Runde Bronzeknöpfe mit abgetreppter Mitte und Knopf) (pl. I/1a-b, II/1, IX/1–6, X/1–6).The analysis also focuses on the controversial content of the so-called deposit Oradea IV as it was published by several archaeologists like Márton Roska („Micske puszta”) (fig. 3), Mircea Rusu („Mișca (Micskapuszta), part of the town Oradea, Bihor district”) (fig. 4), Amalia Mozsolics („Micske, MIȘCA, ehem. Kom. Bihar, R.”), Mircea Petrescu-Dîmbovița („Mișca, part of Oradea”) (fig. 5), Nicolae Chidioșan (Oradea „Pusta Mișca”) and Carol Kacsó („Oradea IV”) (fig. 6–8).The question is if we may accept the idea that the above-mentioned objects from the British Museum come „from a grave of the late Bronze Age at Grosswardein, Hungary”? On one hand it is important to point out that they were not funerary objects, an idea also supported by Ioan Nestor. The information provided by Mauthner was obviously false! Moreover, some of the pieces come from other places than Oradea IV (the old collection of Gödöllo Museum in Hungary, Oradea I, Biharea?). The different places of provenance suggest that these objects were not part of the same discovery. However, at least some of the objects sold by the Budapest antiquarian surely came from the deposit Oradea IV. The rings of the hourglass pendants are lighter in color (Pl. III/2–3, IV/2–3) like the ones presently found at Budapest published by C. Kacsó (fig. 8/10–12). The almost identical content of objects in the collections at London, Bucharest (Oradea) and Budapest, the detail of the rings of the hourglass pendants as well as the fact that the greater part of the discovery had the same owner suggest that these objects were all part of the deposit Oradea IV. In order to support this hypothesis we tried to compare objects that belonged to the same type. Unfortunately only two tutuli from London were shaped in the same mould (pl. IX/1–2), the rest have different dimensions and ornaments. The same may be said in the case of the four conical pendants with triangular openings, also from London (pl. VII/1–4). The phalera and the half-moon pendants were not identical. In that case it is debatable that the objects from London belonged to the deposit Oradea IV. C. Kacsó’s hypothesis about the content of the deposit at Oradea IV is also problematical. Maybe more correct would be to use the denomination apocryphal deposit Oradea IV. C. Kacsó clarified the problem of dating the objects kept in London in his analysis of the deposits Arpășel type. With another occasion, Florin Gogâltan argued that from a chronological point of view the Arpăşel type deposits were typical for a longer period of time during the stages D and Ha A of the Bronze Age (Late Bronze Age II–III). The great majority of these deposits were discovered in the Western Romania, corresponding to the habitation area of the Igriţa and Cehăluţ groups. This was the chronological and cultural context of the objects in the museum in London as well.
