Abstract

Il volume offre un catalogo inedito di 35 chiese siriane del IV secolo. Un patrimonio che testimonia la prima e capillare diffusione del cristianesimo in Siria, e il contributo fondamentale di Costantino il Grande e del suo celebre Editto (313). Da allora, in queste regioni fu tutto un fiorire di chiese: alcune derivarono dalla conversione di templi pagani, ma per la maggior parte si trattò di fondazioni ex novo, concepite per soddisfare le nuove esigenze di culto. Oggi, sparsi attraverso tutto il territorio siriano, si contano centinaia di resti di edifici risalenti ai primi secoli dell’era cristiana, sorprendentemente incustoditi, abbandonati alle ingiurie del tempo e all’azione degli uomini. Si tratta di rovine poco studiate, spesso addirittura sconosciute, sicuramente mai catalogate con sistematicità. Il merito di questo volume degli archeologi francescani R. Fernández e P. Castellana (scomparso durante la sua lavorazione), oltre a offrire un chiaro inquadramento storico introduttivo sulle origini e la diffusione del cristianesimo in terra siriana, consiste proprio nel fornire, per ciascuna delle chiese prese in esame, una scheda dettagliata, che include: la storia, la pianta, la descrizione delle rimanenze in situ, gli eventuali studi precedenti e una bibliografia fondamentale. Il tutto corredato da un ingente apparato iconografico, per lo più inedito.

Abstract

The observation that domestic artefacts are often recovered during church excavations led to an archaeological re-assessment of forty-seven Early Byzantine basilical church excavations and their historical, gender and liturgical context. The excavations were restricted to the three most common basilical church plans to allow for like-for-like analysis between sites that share the same plan: monoapsidal, inscribed and triapsidal. These sites were later found to have two distinct sanctuary configurations, namely a P-shaped sanctuary in front of the apse, or else a sanctuary that extended across.

Abstract

In this book, Brian Hayden provides the first comprehensive, theoretical work on the history of feasting in pre-industrial societies. As an important barometer of cultural change, feasting is at the forefront of theoretical developments in archaeology. The Power of Feasts chronicles the evolution of the practice from its first perceptible prehistoric presence to modern industrial times. This study explores recurring patterns in the dynamics of feasts as well as linkages to other aspects of culture such as food, personhood, cognition, power, politics, and economics. Analyzing detailed ethnographic and archaeological observations from a wide variety of cultures, including Oceania and Southeast Asia, the Americas, and Eurasia, Hayden illuminates the role of feasts as an invaluable insight into the social and political structures of past societies.
