Atmosphären sind etwas Fluides-ob eine Stadt bei Tag oder bei Nacht, im Sommer oder im Winter, bei gutem oder schlechtem Wetter erfahren wird, macht einen erheblichen Unterschied 1. Auch das Denken, Fühlen und Handeln der Betrachter hat großen Einfluss auf ihre Wahrnehmung. Bei aller Offenheit und Unbestimmtheit sind Atmosphären aber auch entscheidend vom gestalteten Stadtraum abhängig. Indem die architektonische Gestaltung und die decorativ-visuelle Ausstattung auf bestimmte Wirkungseffekte abzielen, kann man von einem regelrechten ‚Design' urbaner Atmosphären sprechen 2. In diesem Sinn geht es dem vorliegenden Buch um eine eingeschränkte Perspektive auf urbane Atmosphären: um ästhetische, semantische und funktionale Gestaltungsstrategien und ihre Wirkung auf die städtischen Akteure. Der Begriff der Atmosphäre wird bemüht, um anzuzeigen, dass sich die Wirkung städtischer Räume immer erst aus dem Zusammenspiel aller Faktoren ergibt. Eine solch holistische Fragestellung verlangt einen möglichst umfassend erhaltenen bzw. dokumentierten Befund. Mit dem antiken Pompeji ist ein solcher Glücksfall gegeben: Sein öffentlicher Raum ist-zumindest für die letzte Phase der Stadt-sowohl in seiner Architektur als auch in seiner decorativen Ausstattung ausgesprochen gut bekannt. Dadurch wird es möglich, einzelne städtische Funktionsbereiche hinsichtlich ihrer atmosphärischen Qualitäten zu befragen. Bei dem vorliegenden Buch handelt sich um die Abschlussmonographie des ERC Consolidator Grants "Decorative Principles in Late Republican and Early Imperial Italy" (No. 681269). Es führt Ergebnisse verschiedener Teilprojekte, namentlich zu Straßen (M. Taylor Lauritsen) und Heiligtümern (Anne Kleineberg) zusammen 3 , ergänzt sie um die Analyse weiterer städtischer Teilräume und fragt für all diese Kontexte nach Gestaltungsprinzipien und ihren atmosphärischen Effekten. Zwei Befundgruppen sind in Appendizes systematisch erfasst: die Decor-Elemente von Läden/Imbissstuben, Bars und Gaststätten (von Adrian Hielscher und mir selbst: Appendix 1) sowie die Kapitelle des öffentlichen Raums (von Simon Barker und Adrian Hielscher: Appendix 2). Die Synthese zielt darauf ab, den spezifischen atmosphärischen Charakter einzelner Funktionsräume, aber auch größerer Stadtareale greifbar zu machen. In besonderer Weise hat das Buch von den Mitarbeitenden des Projekts profitiert. Dies gilt zuvorderst für Adrian Hielscher, der die Arbeit am Manuskript durch mannigfaltige Recherchen, Kommentare und die Bereitschaft zur Diskussion kritischer Passagen begleitete. Christian Beck und M. Taylor Lauritsen haben das Manuskript durchgesehen und zu schärfen geholfen. Außerhalb des Projekts haben Jens

It includes contributions on both architectural spaces (and their material design) and objects – types of 'artefacts' that differ greatly in the way they were used, perceived and loaded with cultural significance. With respect to architecture, the analysis of material aesthetics leads to a new understanding of the performance, imitation and transformation of surfaces, including the social meaning of such strategies. In the case of objects, surface treatments are equally important. However, object form (a specific design category), which can enter into tension with materiality, comes into particular focus. Only when materials are shaped do their various qualities emerge, and these qualities are, to a greater or lesser extent, transferred to objects. With a focus primarily on Roman Italy, the papers in this volume underscore the importance of material design and highlight the awareness of this matter in the ancient world.

However, since the 1920s, a prominent strand of research has dealt with a meso-scale of urbanity: neighbourhoods, city quarters and districts 1. In contemporary debates, these urban sub-units constitute key categories for 'Area Based Policies' 2 , which aim at spatial diversification 3 , the fostering of sociability, the decentralised generation and supply of energy as well as creating cities of short distances to solve traffic problems 4. Such politically motivated approaches are only of limited help for an analysis of ancient cities. To understand their socio-spatial patterning, a systematic approach to the archaeological record is required. In this sense, the following discussion is first and foremost about the development of a research perspective on the socio-spatial division of ancient urban space. Especially in anglophone research, the terms 'neighbourhood' and 'city quarter' are often used interchangeably. More nuanced approaches conceptualise neighbourhoods as spatially concrete, remarkable, small-scale quarters so that the difference between neighbourhood and city quarter lies mainly in their spatial scale 5. This often implies the assumption that city quarters possess a larger degree of official organisation-districts (quarters) are sometimes called 'institutional neighbourhoods' 6. In the following, we will introduce a slightly different distinction which is rooted in the German language (Nachbarschaft/Quartier) and has been conceptualised mainly within the German research tradition 7. Neighbourhood here refers to the face-to-face relation between people

Held in the Institut für Klassische Altertumskunde at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Principles of Decoration in the Roman World brought together a group of international scholars who sought to address a range of important, if sometimes overlooked, topics related to various forms of decorative media. DECOR, which is supported by the ERC consolidator grant no. 681269, aims to provide a holistic analysis of the decorative principles employed in Roman Italy between the Late Republic and Early Imperial periods (2 nd century B.C.-late 1 st century A.D., broadly construed). In doing so, it is the first programme of research to move away from studies of visual media in isolation, focusing instead on the manner in which decorative elements interact with one another. This comprehensive approach is being applied to a range of spatial contexts, including houses, sanctuaries and streets. The goal of this volume is to expand the analytical scope beyond the geographical and temporal boundaries established by the project, while still adhering to its central principles. Although the papers collected in the book differ in contextual focus, they seek to engage with a theoretical concept situated at the heart of DECOR's research methodology: the relationship between the built environment, decorative media and human action. The success of the colloquium itself can be attributed not only to this volume's contributors, but also to a number of individuals who provided important organisational and technical assistance. Many thanks to Ruth Bielfeldt, Jens-Arne Dickmann and Patric-Alexander Kreuz, who chaired the colloquium sessions and led discussions throughout the event. Thanks also to Manuel Flecker for helping to coordinate the keynote lecture and subsequent reception, which was held in the Antiken sammlung at the Kunsthalle zu Kiel. We are grateful to Torben Keßler, who assisted in the production of various materials, including the colloquium flyer and programme, and to Julia Hagge and Rebecca Hannemann, who organised tea, coffee and snacks. This book has benefitted substantially from the critical support of Bettina Bergmann and Jens-Arne Dickmann, as well as comments from two anonymous reviewers. Marcel Deckert, Katrin Göttsch, Rebecca Hannemann, Daniel Nieswand, Iria Schmidt and Ruth Thormann were responsible for preliminary editing and the production of certain figures; to them we are extremely grateful. Thanks to Douglas Fear, who provided additional editing and proofreading support. We would also like to express our gratitude to De Gruyter, who established the DECOR series for the publication of the ERC project's results, and to Mirko Vonderstein, in particular, who has overseen the production of this book and the others in the series with great care.

As editors, we are pleased to be able to publish monographs with detailed basic data and comprehensive interpretations from different case studies and landscapes as well as the extensive output from numerous scientific meetings and international workshops. The book series is dedicated to the fundamental research questions of the CRC 1266 dealing with transformations on different temporal, spatial and social scales, here defined as processes leading to a substantial and enduring reorganization of socio-environmental interaction patterns. What are the substantial transformations that describe human development from 15,000 years ago to the beginning of the Common Era? How did the interaction between natural environment and human populations change over time? What role did humans play as cognitive actors trying to deal with changing social and environmental conditions? Which factors triggered the transformations that led to substantial societal and economic inequality? The understanding of human practices within the often intertwined social and environmental contexts is one of the most fundamental aspects of archaeological research. Moreover, in current debates, the dynamics and feedback involved in human-environmental relationships have become a major issue looking at the sometimes devastating consequences of human interference with nature. Archaeology, with its long-term perspective on human societies and landscapes, is in the unique position to trace and link comparable phenomena in the past, to study the human involvement with the natural environment, to investigate the impact of humans on nature, and the consequences of environmental change on human societies. Modern interlinked interdisciplinary research allows for reaching beyond simplistic monocausal lines of explanation and overcoming evolutionary perspectives. Looking at the period from 15,000 to 1 BCE, the CRC 1266 takes a diachronic view in order to investigate transformations involved in the development of late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers, horticulturalists, early agriculturalists, early metallurgists as well as early state societies, thus covering a wide array of societal formations and environmental conditions. The volume Hellenistic Architecture and Human Action brings the built space into focus perceived as arena for action particularly in the ritual sphere. The book is the outcome of the International Colloquium 'Hellenistic Architecture and Human Action-A Case of Reciprocal Influence' held in Kiel in 2018. We are very thankful to the editors Asja Müller and Annette Haug for their engagement during the conference and the preparation of this volume. Many thanks go also to the graphic il-lustrators Anna Carina Lange and Carsten Reckweg for the deep engagement in this publication. We also wish to thank Karsten Wentink, Corné van Woerdekom and Eric van den Bandt from Sidestone Press for their responsive support in realizing this volume and Hermann Gorbahn for organizing the whole publication process.

This colloquium marked the first stepping stone of the Excellence Cluster ROOTS of Social, Environmental and Cultural Connectivities in Past Societies. Within this Excellence Cluster, the subcluster Urban ROOTS is interested in the historical aspects of the complex urban roots of our cities today. One such phenomenon which stands at the starting point of our research activity is the role of water within cities. Many of our principal investigators within this subcluster are represented in this volume by their papers, and external colleagues bring in very fruitful contributions that allow the perspective to be widened. As the colloquium took place even before the work in the cluster had started, it was financed by the Graduate School Human Development in Landscapes, while the funds for the publication come from the subcluster Urban ROOTS. Many have contributed to the successful finishing of this volume. We owe many thanks to the anonymous peer-reviewers, to the student assistants Katrin Göttsch and Rebecca Hannemann who have unified the format and citation styles, to the graphic designer Susanne Beyer who has improved, sometimes newly developed the figures of this book, to Douglas Fear for proofreading, and to Mirko Vonderstein and Katrin Hofmann from the publisher De Gruyter, who have accompanied the publication process with great attention.

The first volume presents paradigmatic papers covering pivotal issues of the overall research agenda. In the second volume, the (former) doctoral students-now alumni of the Graduate School-will present the main research results of their dissertations. With the completion of this collected volume, we would like to thank those who have supported us in accomplishing our overall aims. On the one hand, the German Excellence Initiative made the comprehensive efforts of our interdisciplinary scientific work possible by their generous funding. On the other hand, Kiel University and its different institutions provided all possible support enabling us to develop our research network. In addition, we would like to thank Eileen Küçükkaraca for meticulous scientific editing work during the preparation of the present volume and Carsten Reckweg for editing the graphics and photos. To them and to all the unnamed supporters, we extend our warmest thanks. This book is dedicated to the graduate students of Kiel GSHDL for their commitment and inspiration. Without them, our research on Past Landscapes would not have been such a great success.
