Abstract In the last years, use of geographical information systems has been common in many historical and studies. Perhaps one least known applications is network analysis, a series functions related to hydrology mobility. Since 1994, researchers have used analyses understand costs time expenditure transportation Roman times, with aim modeling commercial routes. Archaeological objects were employed confirm those distributions whose quantities basically transport costs. The present articles...

FisL@bs is a network of remote and virtual laboratories for physics university education via the Internet that offers students possibility performing hands-on experiments in different fields two ways: simulation real operation. This paper gives detailed account novel way which distance learning can gain practical experience autonomously. uses same structure as AutomatL@bs, learning/teaching control engineering, has been operation four years. Students experiment with offered using an...

Summary In this paper new evidence is presented for long‐distance trade in the western Atlantic Roman period, chiefly from Augustus to second century AD, on basis of documented shipwrecks and numerous amphora types. Well‐dated contexts northern Portugal Spain, as well similar sites France Germany, suggest a thriving amphora‐borne commodities during Principate.

Social media have the potential to transform museum visitor into an active participant involved in creation of knowledge. Nevertheless, application relatively new social computing concept cultural heritage sector faces many challenges. Consequently, a greater understanding features different communication channels and methods for measuring success (or failure) exhibition is required.

Summary Ancient demography is a recurrent topic in archaeology, thanks to new methods and evidence from different surveys excavations. However, cultures or periods are studied on their own, without any comparison being made between them of population dynamics. The present paper seeks advance the situation by defining methodologies allow diachronic comparisons two cultures. After setting out methodological approach, goes apply same case study: namely Roman conquest north‐east Spain, comparing...

We introduce here a new quantification proposal in protohistoric and classical pottery studies. The also includes the way of representation such analytics with aim making homogeneous diagnostic, analysis publication models any kind ceramic material disregarding their nature. Therefore, it can be useful for either stratigraphy assemblages or particular series. This standard attempts to improve data interconnection between different areas, sites, so more solid comparable values will obtained...

Almost two decades ago, David Peacock documented for the first time on a systematic basis presence of North African amphorae in Roman Britain. Since then, additional finds similar material from recent excavations Romano-British sites have greatly increased initial number examples listed by Peacock, bringing about more complete picture these imports.

Se presenta la investigación realizada sobre traza urbana de regio IV ciudad romana Complutum. realiza una prospección eléctrica acompañada por el estudio algunos restos excavados recientemente y documentación procedente excavaciones del siglo XIX.

Archaeometry can help archaeologists in multiple instances, one of the common archaeometric goals are provenance analyses. Volcanic stones appear frequently archaeological sites as materials used to build grinding tools like millstones and mortars or building materials. Petrographic characterization is commonly applied identify their main mineralogical components. However, volcanic usually undertaken by comparison with geochemical data from reference outcrops using descriptive statistical...
