TRAC 2015: Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Annual Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference

Oxbow Books: Oxford and Philadelphia, 2016. This volume features a selection of 14 papers presented at the 25th annual Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference held at the University of Leicester in March 2015, which drew delegates of 17 nationalities from a variety of universities, museums, and research institutions in the UK, Europe, and North America. The volume opens with Dr Andrew Gardner’s keynote paper ‘Debating Roman Imperialism: Critique, Construct, Repeat?’ which aptly reflects on the current state and future directions of theoretical discourse in the field of Roman archaeology. This is followed by an array of papers with topics ranging in geographic scope and period, from small finds in early Roman Britain to bathing practices in Late Antique North Africa, and from the investigation of deviant burials to the application of urban scaling theory in Roman contexts. The range of contributing authors is also of note, as papers were submitted by PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and university faculty, all helping to make the 25th anniversary edition of this series one that continues to emphasise and reflect the aims of TRAC, both as a conference and as a conduit for exploring more theory-driven approaches to the Roman past.
