La presenza della sigillata gallica nella Transpadana occidentale è cosa nota da tempo, per lo meno agli studiosi locali, ma l’entità del fenomeno e il suo significato sul piano economico e delle relazioni commerciali sono ancora oggi molto poco evidenti a livello nazionale e internazionale. Il rinvenimento di un notevole quantitativo di sigillata gallica nello scavo di alcune porzioni di discarica addossate alle mura di cinta della Torino romana ha dato l’avvio a uno studio che mette in luce come la sigillata gallica nella Cisalpina non sia affatto una presenza sporadica, né probabilmente il risultato di un approvvigionamento destinato a soddisfare solo i bisogni dei ceti più abbienti, ma costituisca invece un indicatore economico piuttosto importante. Il volume prende in esame più di 500 frammenti, per lo più inediti, di sigillata prodotta nella Gallia meridionale e centrale tra l’età claudia e il III secolo, tutti rinvenuti nella Cisalpina occidentale, e passa in rassegna i dati editi per l’area nordorientale. Lo scopo principale, oltre a quello di far emergere la presenza non marginale di queste produzioni nel nord Italia, è la ricostruzione di una via cisalpina per il trasporto di merci diverse, molte delle quali deperibili, da ovest verso est. Fossili guida nella ricerca sono le ceramiche di Lezoux e Banassac, prodotti che non avevano una rete di distribuzione mediterranea, ma si concentravano nell’Europa continentale e in Britannia. Definire i loro itinerari permette di ipotizzare dinamiche commerciali sulle lunghe distanze, in un mercato che non aveva le caratteristiche e i numeri di quello Urbano o di quello militare, e di assegnare alla Gallia Cisalpina un ruolo di qualche importanza come via meridionale di transito e di connessione tra l’area transalpina occidentale e quella orientale.

Les architectures de terre et de bois d’époque romaine étaient, il y a quelques années encore, très mal connues. Des fouilles récentes ont apporté de nombreuses données. Cet ouvrage tente un premier point : s’agit-il de survivances protohistoriques ? comment se présentent ces techniques de construction ? à quelles conditions socio-économiques répondent-elles ? L’approche archéologique et textuelle s’accompagne des enseignements livrés par des expériences contemporaines. Earth and wood constructions of the Roman era were, until several years ago, very little known. Recent excavations have provided us with considerable information. This work attempts to answer primary questions such as : are these protohistorical survivals ? what construction techniques were used ? what socio-economic conditions do they correspond to ? The textual and archaeological approach go along with informationobtained by contemporary experiments.

Clothing, jewelry, animal remains, ceramics, coins, and weaponry are among the artifacts that have been discovered in graves in Gaul dating from the fifth to eighth century. Those who have unearthed them, from the middle ages to the present, have speculated widely on their meaning. This authoritative book makes a major contribution to the study of death and burial in late antique and early medieval society with its long overdue systematic discussion of this mortuary evidence. Tracing the history of Merovingian archaeology within its cultural and intellectual context for the first time, Effros exposes biases and prejudices that have colored previous interpretations of these burial sites and assesses what contemporary archaeology can tell us about the Frankish kingdoms. Working at the intersection of history and archaeology, and drawing from anthropology and art history, Effros emphasizes in particular the effects of historical events and intellectual movements on French and German antiquarian and archaeological studies of these grave goods. Her discussion traces the evolution of concepts of nationhood, race, and culture and shows how these concepts helped shape an understanding of the past. Effros then turns to contemporary multidisciplinary methodologies and finds that we are still limited by the types of information that can be readily gleaned from physical and written sources of Merovingian graves. For example, since material evidence found in the graves of elite families and particularly elite men is more plentiful and noteworthy, mortuary goods do not speak as directly to the conditions in which women and the poor lived. The clarity and sophistication with which Effros discusses the methods and results of European archaeology is a compelling demonstration of the impact of nationalist ideologies on a single discipline and of the struggle toward the more pluralistic vision that has developed in the post-war years.
