Papers by Raffaella Pappalardo
It contributes to the reconstruction and analysis of the cultural and urban landscape, taking into account the geomorphological elements and the data contexts even in diachronic and transversal multi-disciplinary perspective. The analysis of some significant cases shows its validity also for potential alternative fruition. The integration of virtual reality systems is a possible extension also for the knowledge, enhancement, communication and use of cultural heritage.
Call for Papers by Raffaella Pappalardo
Both large centres and rural areas were involved in these processes. Urban centres usually show traces of re-occupation after a short/long abandonment period (architectural and functional reconfiguration and spaces adaptation), whereas the same impact on the rural zones is less evident. This includes a reduction in number of settlements, the abandonment of natural resource exploitation areas and, occasionally, a different type of re-occupation (squatter installations, nomadic evidence, local impulses). Such processes possibly influenced material culture, whose reliability might be also used for the understanding of social dynamics related to the lack of power in specific areas.
The aim of the proposed session is to define a model for the understanding of abandonment through the analysis of the archaeological record. This includes the response of specific areas to imperial abandonment, the change in the human landscape and the role of material culture for the investigation of the topic. Particularly welcome will be those papers focusing on the transitional periods between a firm occupation and abandonment, the processes of abandonment causes and the post-abandonment formations and the human and social perception of a specific power hiatus. Different geographical areas might also help to have a wider perspective on the topic. The session organizers encourage papers that will cover a wide spectrum of cases from the Roman world.
To sum up the proposed trajectories of the session will be:
How local territories/communities responded to the different causes of abandonment and what kind of archaeological traces can be used to determine its impact/level
Investigating the post-abandonment evidence through the archaeological record
Perception of continuity and adaptation in the power-lacked areas (re-occupation, transformation)
Material culture reliability for the analysis of the topic
