Methods in Ancient Wine Archaeology: Scientific Approaches in Roman Contexts

Editat de Dr Emlyn Dodd, Dr Dimitri Van Limbergen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2024

Sub coordonarea editorilor Dr Emlyn Dodd și Dr Dimitri Van Limbergen, ambii cercetători cu o autoritate recunoscută în cadrul unor instituții precum Institute of Classical Studies din Londra și Universitatea din Ghent, Methods in Ancient Wine Archaeology reprezintă un punct de cotitură în studiul viticulturii antice. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care acest volum reușește să fundamenteze cercetarea istorică pe date științifice riguroase, depășind analizele tradiționale bazate strict pe tipologia amforelor sau a instalațiilor de presare. Suntem de părere că această lucrare este esențială pentru înțelegerea nuanțată a cultivării viței-de-vie și a consumului de vin în bazinul mediteranean.

Cititorii familiarizați cu abordările generale din Archaeological Science de Michael P. Richards vor aprecia aici focalizarea extrem de specifică și aplicată pe contextul roman. Dacă volumul lui Richards oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra metodologiilor științifice în arheologie, lucrarea editată de Dodd și Van Limbergen aduce un plus de profunzime prin studii de caz ce utilizează tehnici avansate, cum ar fi analiza ADN-ului vechi (aDNA) și prospecțiunile geofizice aplicate peisajelor viticole.

Structura volumului reflectă o progresie logică de la baze teoretice la aplicații practice complexe. Cuprinsul este organizat în secțiuni tematice ce acoperă arheologia biomoleculară, analizele chimice și arheobotanica, oferind o perspectivă holistică asupra conceptului de „palaeo-terroir”. Această abordare permite cercetătorului să treacă dincolo de simpla identificare a siturilor, oferind instrumente pentru reconstituirea gustului, calității și dinamicii comerciale a vinului în antichitate. Tonul este unul academic, precis, integrând date de laborator într-un discurs istoric coerent, facilitat de experiența vastă a contributorilor.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte profesioniștilor și studenților la arheologie care doresc să stăpânească noile metode de analiză științifică. Cititorul câștigă acces la tehnici de ultimă oră, precum analiza reziduurilor organice și modelarea climatică, esențiale pentru a înțelege nu doar cum se producea vinul în epoca romană, ci și cum era acesta comercializat și consumat la nivel regional.


Descriere

Bringing together a wide array of modern scientific techniques and interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides an accessible guide to the methods that form the current bedrock of research into Roman, and more broadly ancient, wine. Chapters are arranged into thematic sections, covering biomolecular archaeology and chemical analysis, archaeobotany and palynology, vineyard and landscape archaeology and computational and experimental archaeology. These include discussions of some of the most recent techniques, such as ancient DNA and organic residue analyses, geophysical prospection, multispectral imaging and spatial and climatic modelling. While most of the content is of direct relevance to the Roman Mediterranean, the assortment of detailed case studies, methodological outlines and broader 'state of the field' reflections is of equal use to researchers working across disparate disciplines, geographies, and chronologies.

The study of ancient Roman wine has been dominated until recently by traditional archaeological analyses focused upon production facilities and ceramic evidence related to transport. While such architecture and artefact-focussed approaches provide a fundamental foundation for our understanding of this topic, they fail to provide the requisite nuance to answer other questions regarding grape cultivation and wine production, consumption, use and trade. As the first compendium of its kind, this book supports the embedding of modern scientific and experimental techniques into archaeological fieldwork, research and laboratory analysis, pushing the boundaries of what questions can be explored, and serving as a launching point for future avenues of interdisciplinary research.

Recenzii

Collectively, the guide to scientific methods in ancient winemaking that Dodd and Van Limbergen have composed is inspirational. The methods and case studies described in this book provide the methodological building blocks for a comprehensive history of winemaking in the Roman world.
This volume gathers the latest research on grape growing and wine production in the Roman Mediterranean. While the approaches are cutting edge, the methods and case studies are explained well for the non-expert. Bringing together the work of both established scholars as well as more junior newcomers also means that this volume serves as an essential state of the field collection.
