Networks of Exchange and Exploitation: The Distribution of Mancetter-Hartshill mortaria in Roman Britain

鉴于为罗马帝国开发的最新主导模式，该项目提出了对罗马不列颠经济的新理解。它将研究地中海在边境省份进行辩论的可行性。这将通过研究Mancetter-Hartshill Mortaria的分布来实现，Mancetter-Hartshill Mortaria是一种独特的罗马-英国陶器类型，提供了考古记录中看不见的无来源易腐烂物品的变化的代理。预计现有的模型将不能提供令人满意的解释，一个对古代经济学研究具有国际意义的新模型将产生。

The project proposes a new understanding of the economy of Roman Britain in view of the latestdominant models developed for the Roman Empire. It will examine the feasibility of Mediterraneancentreddebates in a frontier province. This will be achieved through the study of the distribution ofMancetter-Hartshill mortaria, a distinctive type of Romano-British pottery, providing a proxy for themovements of unprovenanced perishable goods invisible in the archaeological record. It is anticipated thatthe existing models will not offer a satisfactory explanation and that a new model of internationalsignificance to the study of Ancient Economics will be generated.
