Conservato: Unveiling the Power of Preservation and Restoration
Introduction:
Are you fascinated by the delicate art of preserving history, restoring beauty, and extending the lifespan of cherished objects? Then you’ve come to the right place. This comprehensive guide delves into the world of "Conservato," a term encompassing the diverse practices of conservation and restoration. We'll explore its multifaceted nature, covering everything from the meticulous techniques employed to the ethical considerations involved. Whether you’re a professional conservator, an avid collector, or simply curious about preserving our heritage, this post offers valuable insights and practical advice. We’ll examine the various methods, the materials used, and the crucial role of Conservato in safeguarding our cultural and natural treasures.
I. Understanding the Scope of Conservato:
Conservato, at its core, is the act of preserving and restoring objects of cultural, historical, or artistic significance. This encompasses a broad range of disciplines and materials, including:
Archival Conservation: Preserving documents, photographs, and other archival materials from deterioration. This often involves careful handling, specialized storage conditions, and digital preservation techniques.
Museum Conservation: The preservation and restoration of artifacts and artworks found in museums and galleries. This requires a deep understanding of materials science, art history, and ethical considerations.
Library Conservation: Similar to archival conservation, but focused specifically on books, manuscripts, and other library materials. Techniques include bookbinding repair, paper mending, and pest control.
Building Conservation: The preservation and restoration of historic buildings and structures. This involves structural repairs, material stabilization, and the careful integration of modern techniques with historic fabric.
Environmental Conservation: While not directly related to artifact preservation, it plays a crucial supporting role. Protecting the environment safeguards the context within which historical sites and artifacts exist.
II. The Principles of Conservato:
Ethical and scientific principles guide effective Conservato practices. Key principles include:
Minimum Intervention: Conservators prioritize the least invasive methods to achieve preservation goals. This means opting for reversible treatments whenever possible.
Reversibility: Treatments should ideally be reversible, allowing future conservators to undo or modify interventions as new techniques emerge or understanding improves.
Documentation: Meticulous documentation of all procedures, materials used, and the condition of the object before, during, and after treatment is essential.
Scientific Approach: Conservato relies on scientific understanding of materials, deterioration processes, and the effectiveness of different treatments. Regular research and development are crucial for advancements in the field.
Ethical Considerations: Conservators must act ethically, considering the cultural significance of the objects they treat and prioritizing the long-term preservation of the object over short-term aesthetic improvements.
III. Common Techniques in Conservato:
A wide array of techniques are employed depending on the material and condition of the object. Some common methods include:
Cleaning: Removing dirt, grime, and pollutants using appropriate methods such as dry brushing, vacuuming, or wet cleaning with specialized solutions.
Stabilization: Consolidating weak or deteriorated materials using adhesives or consolidants to prevent further damage.
Repair: Mending tears, cracks, and other damage using compatible materials and techniques.
Inpainting: Replicating missing paint or surface details to improve the aesthetic appearance of an artwork, but always acknowledging the inpainting's presence.
Pest Control: Preventing and eradicating insect infestations and other biological threats that can damage materials.
Environmental Control: Maintaining appropriate temperature, humidity, and light levels to slow down deterioration.
IV. The Materials Used in Conservato:
The choice of materials for conservation and restoration is crucial. Materials must be compatible with the object, chemically inert, and reversible whenever possible. Common materials include:
Adhesives: Used to consolidate weak materials or join broken pieces. Examples include wheat starch paste, animal glue, and synthetic adhesives.
Consolidants: Strengthen weak or friable materials. These can range from natural resins to synthetic polymers.
Fillers: Used to fill in minor losses or gaps in materials. Common fillers include calcium carbonate and gypsum.
Protective Coatings: Applied to protect surfaces from further deterioration. These can include waxes, varnishes, and acrylic coatings.
V. The Future of Conservato:
Conservato is a constantly evolving field. Advancements in materials science, analytical techniques, and digital technologies are continually improving preservation methods. The future of Conservato lies in:
Nanotechnology: Exploring the use of nanomaterials for targeted treatments and improved conservation strategies.
Digital Preservation: Creating high-resolution digital records of artifacts and artworks for future generations.
Predictive Modeling: Using advanced analytical tools to predict future deterioration and develop proactive conservation strategies.
Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: Continued collaboration and exchange of information between conservators, scientists, and other stakeholders.

conservato: The Symbolic Language of Royal Authority in the Carolingian World (c.751-877) Ildar H. Garipzanov, 2008 This book is not a conventional political narrative of Carolingian history shaped by narrative sources, capitularies, and charter material. It is structured, instead, by numismatic, diplomatic, liturgical, and iconographic sources and deals with political signs, images, and fixed formulas in them as interconnected elements in a symbolic language that was used in the indirect negotiation and maintenance of Carolingian authority. Building on the comprehensive analysis of royal liturgy, intitulature, iconography, and graphic signs and responding to recent interpretations of early medieval politics, this book offers a fresh view of Carolingian political culture and of corresponding roles that royal/imperial courts, larger monasteries, and human agents played there. |

conservato: Antiquarian Literature in the Sixteenth Century Joan Carbonell Manils, Gerard González Germain, 2024-07-01 During the sixteenth century, antiquarian studies (the study of the material past, comprising modern archaeology, epigraphy, and numismatics) rose in Europe in parallel to the technical development of the printing press. Some humanists continued to prefer the manuscript form to disseminate their findings – as numerous fair copies of sylloges and treatises attest –, but slowly the printed medium grew in popularity, with its obvious advantages but also its many challenges. As antiquarian printed works appeared, the relationship between manuscript and printed sources also became less linear: printed copies of earlier works were annotated to serve as a means of research, and printed works could be copied by hand – partially or even completely. This book explores how antiquarian literature (collections of inscriptions, treatises, letters...) developed throughout the sixteenth century, both in manuscript and in print; how both media interacted with each other, and how these printed antiquarian works were received, as attested by the manuscript annotations left by their early modern owners and readers. |

conservato: Virtuosi Abroad Kiril Tomoff, 2015-08-12 In the 1940s and 1950s, Soviet musicians and ensembles were acclaimed across the globe. They toured the world, wowing critics and audiences, projecting an image of the USSR as a sophisticated promoter of cultural and artistic excellence. In Virtuosi Abroad, Kiril Tomoff focuses on music and the Soviet Union's star musicians to explore the dynamics of the cultural Cold War. He views the competition in the cultural sphere as part of the ongoing U.S. and Soviet efforts to integrate the rest of the world into their respective imperial projects. Tomoff argues that the spectacular Soviet successes in the system of international music competitions, taken together with the rapturous receptions accorded touring musicians, helped to persuade the Soviet leadership of the superiority of their system. This, combined with the historical triumphalism central to the Marxist-Leninist worldview, led to confidence that the USSR would be the inevitable winner in the global competition with the United States. Successes masked the fact that the very conditions that made them possible depended on a quiet process by which the USSR began to participate in an international legal and economic system dominated by the United States. Once the Soviet leadership transposed its talk of system superiority to the economic sphere, focusing in particular on consumer goods and popular culture, it had entered a competition that it could not win. |

conservato: The Sino-Soviet Alliance Austin Jersild, 2014-02-03 In 1950 the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China signed a Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance to foster cultural and technological cooperation between the Soviet bloc and the PRC. While this treaty was intended as a break with the colonial past, Austin Jersild argues that the alliance ultimately failed because the enduring problem of Russian imperialism led to Chinese frustration with the Soviets. Jersild zeros in on the ground-level experiences of the socialist bloc advisers in China, who were involved in everything from the development of university curricula, the exploration for oil, and railway construction to piano lessons. Their goal was to reproduce a Chinese administrative elite in their own image that could serve as a valuable ally in the Soviet bloc's struggle against the United States. Interestingly, the USSR's allies in Central Europe were as frustrated by the great power chauvinism of the Soviet Union as was China. By exposing this aspect of the story, Jersild shows how the alliance, and finally the split, had a true international dimension. |
conservato: Rimsky-Korsakov and His World Marina Frolova-Walker, 2018-09-11 A rare look at the life and music of renowned Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov During his lifetime, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908) was a composer whose work had great influence not only in his native Russia but also internationally. While he remains well-known in Russia—where many of his fifteen operas and various orchestral pieces are still in the standard repertoire—very little of his work is performed in the West today beyond Scheherezade and arrangements of The Flight of the Bumblebee. In Western writings, he appears mainly in the context of the Mighty Handful, a group of five Russian composers to which he belonged at the outset of his career. Rimsky-Korsakov and His World finally gives the composer center stage and due attention. In this collection, Rimsky-Korsakov’s major operas, The Snow Maiden, Mozart and Salieri, and The Golden Cockerel, receive multifaceted exploration and are carefully contextualized within the wider Russian culture of the era. The discussion of these operas is accompanied and enriched by the composer’s letters to Nadezhda Zabela, the distinguished soprano for whom he wrote several leading roles. Other essays look at more general aspects of Rimsky-Korsakov’s work and examine his far-reaching legacy as a professor of composition and orchestration, including his impact on his most famous pupil Igor Stravinsky. The contributors are Lidia Ader, Leon Botstein, Emily Frey, Marina Frolova-Walker, Adalyat Issiyeva, Simon Morrison, Anna Nisnevich, Olga Panteleeva, and Yaroslav Timofeev.

conservato: Ladies of the Canyons Lesley Poling-Kempes, 2015-09-17 Ladies of the Canyons is the true story of remarkable women who left the security and comforts of genteel Victorian society and journeyed to the American Southwest in search of a wider view of themselves and their world. Educated, restless, and inquisitive, Natalie Curtis, Carol Stanley, Alice Klauber, and Mary Cabot Wheelwright were plucky, intrepid women whose lives were transformed in the first decades of the twentieth century by the people and the landscape of the American Southwest. Part of an influential circle of women that included Louisa Wade Wetherill, Alice Corbin Henderson, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Mary Austin, and Willa Cather, these ladies imagined and created a new home territory, a new society, and a new identity for themselves and for the women who would follow them. Their adventures were shared with the likes of Theodore Roosevelt and Robert Henri, Edgar Hewett and Charles Lummis, Chief Tawakwaptiwa of the Hopi, and Hostiin Klah of the Navajo. Their journeys took them to Monument Valley and Rainbow Bridge, into Canyon de Chelly, and across the high mesas of the Hopi, down through the Grand Canyon, and over the red desert of the Four Corners, to the pueblos along the Rio Grande and the villages in the mountains between Santa Fe and Taos. Although their stories converge in the outback of the American Southwest, the saga of Ladies of the Canyons is also the tale of Boston’s Brahmins, the Greenwich Village avant-garde, the birth of American modern art, and Santa Fe’s art and literary colony. Ladies of the Canyons is the story of New Women stepping boldly into the New World of inconspicuous success, ambitious failure, and the personal challenges experienced by women and men during the emergence of the Modern Age. |

conservato: Theremin Albert Glinsky, 2000 LEON THEREMIN led a life of flamboyant musical invention laced with daring electronic stealth. A creative genius and prolific inventor, Theremin launched the field of electronic music virtually singlehandedly in 1920 with the musical instrument that bears his name. The theremin -- the only instrument that is played without being touched -- created a sensation worldwide and paved the way for the modern synthesizer. Its otherworldly sound became familiar in sci-fi films and even in rock music. This magical instrument that charmed millions, however, is only the beginning of the story. As a Soviet scientist, Theremin surrendered his life and work to the service of State espionage. On assignment in Depression-era America, he became the toast of New York society and worked the engines of capitalist commerce while passing data on U.S. industrial technology to the Soviet apparat. Following his sudden disappearance from New York in 1938, Theremin was exiled to a Siberian labor camp. He subsequently vanished into the top-secret Soviet intelligence machine and was presumed dead for nearly thirty years. Using the same technology that lay behind the theremin, he designed bugging devices that eavesdropped on U.S. diplomatic offices and stood at the center of a pivotal cold war confrontation. Throughout his life, Theremin developed many other electronic wonders, including one of the earliest televisions and multimedia devices that anticipated performance art and virtual reality by decades. In this first full biography of Leon Theremin, Albert Glinsky depicts the inventor's nearly one-hundred-year life span as a microcosm of the twentieth century. Theremin is seen at the epicenter of most of themajor events of the century: the Russian Revolution, two world wars, America's Great Depression, Stalin's purges, the cold war, and perestroika. His life emerges as no less than a metaphor for the divergence of communism and capitalism. Theremin blends the whimsical and the treacherous into a chronicle that takes in everything from the KGB to Macy's store windows, Alcatraz to the Beach Boys, Hollywood thrillers to the United Nations, Joseph Stalin to Shirley Temple. Theremin's world of espionage and invention is an amazing drama of hidden loyalties, mixed motivations, and an irrepressibly creative spirit. |
conservato: Kamilari. Una necropoli di tombe a tholos nella Messarà (Creta) Luca Girella, Ilaria Caloi, 2019-12-20 Il volume presenta l’edizione definitiva della necropoli dell’età del Bronzo di Kamilari, situata a pochi chilometri di distanza dal più noto centro palaziale di Festòs, nella Creta meridionale. Lo scavo fu eseguito alla fine degli anni ’50 dalla Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene sotto la direzione dell’allora direttore Doro Levi e produsse una dettagliata pubblicazione preliminare che lasciò tuttavia aperte numerose questioni. La ripresa dello studio e la conseguente pubblicazione sono state possibili grazie al supporto della Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene. La necropoli è composta da tre tombe a tholos, la prima delle quali (la Tholos A), la più grande, fu occupata senza soluzione di continuità dagli inizi del II millennio a.C. (Medio Minoico IB) alla fine del XIV secolo a.C. (Tardo Minoico IIIA2), per ricevere poi una parziale rioccupazione tra l’VIII e il VII secolo a.C. Per la ricchezza dei suoi contesti e la straordinaria continuità d’uso, la necropoli getta una luce importante sulle pratiche e i rituali funerari della Creta dell’età del Bronzo e rappresenta la cartina di tornasole per l’interpretazione delle trasformazioni sociali e politiche intervenute nell’area. La necropoli si distingue per l’uso del seppellimento collettivo ancora nel Medio Minoico, ossia in corrispondenza della fondazione e sviluppo del Primo Palazzo di Festòs, quando nell’area meridionale di Creta e in generale nell’intera isola, questa tipologia di seppellimento è già in declino. Ugualmente importanti sono le testimonianze della necropoli nel corso del Tardo Minoico quando, soprattutto nella prima fase, la documentazione funeraria appare intermittente sull’isola; anche nelle fasi di progressiva ‘miceneizzazione’, momento in cui Creta subisce profonde trasformazioni nelle pratiche funerarie, la Tholos A testimonia la persistenza di pratiche antichissime. Il volume si distingue per la partecipazione di studiosi internazionali che hanno contribuito significativamente in varie parti dell’opera. I dieci capitoli del volume affrontano in maniera esauriente lo studio delle tre tombe, con particolare riguardo alla Tholos A, la tomba più grande, che ha restituito i corredi più ricchi e importanti. Alla trattazione in dettaglio delle architetture e della stratigrafia, segue l’analisi del materiale ceramico, dei modellini fittili, dei vasi in pietra, dei sigilli, degli oggetti in bronzo e dei gioielli (Capitoli I-II.1-14). Il capitolo III è dedicato alla Tholos B; il IV e il V rispettivamente allo studio dei resti ossei umani e animali delle Tholoi A e B; il VI e il VII prendono in esame le conchiglie e il materiale botanico, con particolare riferimento ai resti lignei carbonizzati. Il Capitolo VIII analizza la Tholos C, la cui rioccupazione in epoca ellenistico-romana viene interpretata come possibile sacello connesso con culti di fertilità agraria. Gli ultimi capitoli, IX e X, analizzano rispettivamente le pratiche e i rituali funerari e lo sviluppo generale della necropoli nel contesto della piana della Messarà. Il volume è arricchito da tre appendici e da un esauriente apparato illustrativo di novanta tavole. |
conservato: Archeologia dell’Architettura, XXV, 2020 – Sulle rotte mediterranee della costruzione. Sistemi voltati tra Napoli e Valencia dal Medioevo all’Ottocento Valentina Russo, Fernando Vegas López-Manzanares, 2020-12-30 Nel monografico “Sulle rotte mediterranee della costruzione. Sistemi voltati tra Napoli e Valencia dal Medioevo all’Ottocento”, il volume pubblica otto contributi relativi a ricerche condotte nell’ambito di un Accordo bilaterale stipulato tra l’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II e l’Universitat Politècnica di València (2015-2020). Un progetto che ha analizzato la diffusione e le variazioni dei sistemi costruttivi delle volte dal Medioevo all’Ottocento in una lettura comparata dei contesti di Napoli e Valencia e con rimandi ai Regni di Napoli e d’Aragona. Oltre alle tradizionali volte ‘pesanti’ in muratura sono state indagate le volte ‘leggere’, realizzate in legno e in mattoni disposti in piano, note nel contesto spagnolo come bovedas tabicadas e nell’Italia meridionale come “volte alla siciliana”. Compaiono in Sicilia a partire dal Quattrocento, mentre nel Napoletano le più antiche attualmente note, che risalgono agli anni Trenta dell’Ottocento, mostrano una tecnica costruttiva dipendente dalla matrice valenciana. Nella sezione “Casi di studio” trovano invece spazio sette contributi relativi a: decorazioni dei laterizi medievali di Pisa; carpenteria del tetto del castello di Aymavilles (Aosta); suburbio industriale nord-ovest di Pompei; le cosiddette “porte del morto” dell’Aquila; la fase romanica della chiesa di San Lorenzo di Verona; le strutture medievali nell’area dei Mercati di Traiano a Roma. |

conservato: Ravenna: archeologia di una città (Premio Ottone d'Assia e Riccardo Francovich 2005) Enrico Cirelli, 2008-07-01 Ravenna è una delle più importanti capitali del Medioevo europeo e tuttavia, a fronte dei pochi monumenti ben noti e celebrati, buona parte delle sue evidenze materiali risultano ancora poco conosciute, soprattutto dal punto di vista della moderna indagine archeologica. Ciò ha reso finora difficile la contestualizzazione di molte evidenze archeologiche necessarie per la ricostruzione delle vicende di una delle maggiori città dell’alto Medioevo. Questo volume descrive la storia delle trasformazioni della città dalla sua nascita fino al tardo Medioevo, attraverso l’uso della documentazione archeologica, delle testimonianze scritte e della cartografia storica. La combinazione di tutte queste informazioni, raccolte e sistematizzate grazie all’ausilio di tecnologie informatiche applicate alle discipline storiche, restituisce una nuova immagine di Ravenna, centrata non solo nel periodo in cui è chiamata a sostenere il ruolo di capitale dell’Impero Romano d’occidente, ma anche nei secoli successivi, quando il suo nome è ancora simbolo di potere e prestigio per gli imperatori sassoni e per tutti i protagonisti dell’Europa medievale. |

conservato: Città e guerra : difese, distruzioni, permanenze delle memorie e dell’immagine urbana. Tomo II : tracce e patrimoni Maria Ines Pascariello, Alessandra Verapalumbo, Raffaele Amore, 2023-12-31 [Italiano]: In un momento così significativo per la storia europea e mondiale, questo volume vuole essere la raccolta di riflessioni scientifiche condotte sui rapporti tra le scelte politiche, le azioni militari e la fisionomia delle città e del paesaggio urbano, sull’evoluzione delle strutture e delle tecniche di difesa, sulla rappresentazione della guerra e dei suoi effetti sull’immagine urbana, sul recupero delle tracce della memoria cittadina. Da una parte il campo delle Digital Humanities apre nuove prospettive per studiare l'immagine della città prima, durante e dopo la guerra, dall’altro le tecnologie digitali impegnano studiosi e ricercatori di varie discipline: in particolare nell’ambito del disegno viene esplorato il ruolo della rappresentazione nella formulazione dei progetti urbani di difesa e nella documentazione degli eventi bellici e delle tracce lasciate dai conflitti, mentre nell’ambito del restauro vengono approfondite le sfide teoriche e pratiche imposte dai danni arrecati dai conflitti ai centri storici, passando in rassegna casi studio, soluzioni e dibattiti relativi alla conservazione del patrimonio urbano coinvolto in azioni di guerra, con un'attenzione particolare all'identità e alla memoria collettiva./[English]: At such a significant moment in European and world history, this volume aims to be a collection of scientific reflections about the relationships between political choices, military actions and the physiognomy of cities and the urban landscape, about the evolution of defence structures and techniques, about the representation of war and its effects on the urban image, and about the recovery of the traces of city memory. On the one hand the field of Digital Humanities opens up new perspectives to study the image of the city before, during and after the war, on the other hand digital technologies engage academics and researchers from various disciplines: In particular, in the area of drawing, the role of representation in the formulation of urban defence projects and in the documentation of wartime events and the traces left behind by conflicts is explored, while in the area of conservation, the theoretical and practical challenges imposed by the damage caused by conflicts to historic centres are explored, reviewing case studies, solutions and debates relating to the conservation of urban heritage involved in wartime actions, with a focus on identity and collective memory. |

conservato: Documenti di trasporto internazionali e doganali Renzo Pravisano, 2010-11-05 Il volume esamina tutta la documentazione che le aziende devono emettere per gli scambi con i Paesi terzi, per adeguarsi in materia contabile-amministrativo alla normativa commerciale, fiscale, doganale e valutaria. I rapporti economici con l'estero, che prevedono scambio di beni, richiedono l'espletamento di particolari formalità doganali con la predisposizione di una documentazione completa e corretta. Si tratta, in particolare, di documentazione: - commerciale - di trasporto e spedizione internazionale - contabile - doganale; - finanziaria e valutaria - di varia natura: sanitaria, crediti documentari, di conformità, ecc. Nel manuale si prende in esame la documentazione per il trasporto dei beni tenendo conto sia delle procedure amministrative e doganali sia di quelle contabili e fiscali, in modo da offrire al lettore un insieme coordinato di nozioni utili per un corretto adempimento a tutte le formalità documentali. In questa seconda edizione il volume è stato completamente rivisto al fine di procedere ad un suo aggiornamento in considerazione dell'evoluzione della normativa regolante la documentazione internazionale. Si è ritenuto opportuno introdurre una nuova parte relativa ai controlli doganali sui documenti al fine di approfondire i controlli che le imprese debbono effettuare sulla documentazione emessa e ricevuta, e porre quindi in essere i dovuti rimedi, instaurando le procedure di revisione previste dalla legislazione vigente.

conservato: Greek Medical Papyri Nicola Reggiani, 2019-09-23 The volume collects papers presented at the International Conference Greek Medical Papyri - Text, Context, Hypertext held at the University of Parma on November 2-4, 2016, as the final event of the ERC project DIGMEDTEXT, aimed primarily at creating an online textual database of the Greek papyri dealing with medicine. The contributions, authored by outstanding papyrologists and historians of the ancient medicine, deal with a variety of topics focused on the papyrological evidence of ancient medical texts and contexts. The first part, devoted to medical texts, contains some new reflections on important sources such as the Anonymus Londinensis and the Hippocratic corpus, as well as on specific themes like the pharmacological vocabulary, the official medical reports, the medical care in the Roman army. The second part collects papers about the doctors' context, providing highlights from broader viewpoints like the analysis of the writing supports, the study of the ostraka from the Eastern Desert, the evidence of inscriptions and philosophical texts. The third part is entirely focused on the DIGMEDTEXT project itself: the team members present some relevant key issues raised by the digitisation of the medical papyri. |

conservato: Morgantina Studies, Volume III Ninina Cuomo di Caprio, 2014-07-14 The kilns at Morgantina, site of the well-known excavations in central Sicily, are an outstanding example of multiple potters' workshops in use during the late Hellenistic period. In fully documenting these ten kilns, excavated between 1955 and 1963, Ninina Cuomo di Caprio offers both a representative cross-section of the physical setting of ceramic production in this ancient Greek city and evidence for its daily industrial activity. She includes detailed plans and section drawings of each kiln and formulates hypotheses on its operation in light of modern thermodynamics. The text, which is in Italian, is preceded by an English-language summary. Cuomo di Caprio's archaeological study of the kiln structures and their ceramic products is supplemented by such diagnostic tools as thermoluminescence analysis, neutron activation analysis, X-ray diffraction, and optical examination by polarizing microscope. Opening an entirely new window into the everyday working practices of the Morgantina potters, this study demonstrates that they operated at a very sophisticated level: selecting and purifying specific clays, and adding certain materials to manipulate their working and firing characteristics. Originally published in 1992. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905. |
conservato: Butrint 7 David Hernandez, Richard Hodges, 2020-12-14 This volume brings together unpublished Italian and Albanian archaeological reports and new archaeological studies from recent fieldwork that throw new light on the archaeology and history of the Pavllas River Valley, the Mediterranean alluvial plain in the territory of Butrint, ancient Buthrotum, in southwestern Albania. It gives prominence for the first time to two important sites, Kalivo and Çuka e Aitoit, which are here reinterpreted and shown to have played major roles in the early history of Butrint as it evolved in the later first millennium BC to emerge as the key city of Chaonia in Epirus. Butrint 7 also presents the full excavation report of the Late Bronze Age and Hellenistic fortified site of Mursi, in addition to other Butrint Foundation surveys and excavations in the hinterland of Butrint, including the Roman villa maritima at Diaporit, the villa suburbana on the Vrina Plain, and Roman sites on Alinura Bay and at the Customs House, as well as new surveys of the early modern Triangular Fortress and a survey to locate the lost Venetian village of Zarópulo. The volume also features a new study of the Hellenistic bronze statuette of Pan found on Mount Mile and of his sanctuary at Butrint. The volume concludes with a comprehensive reassessment of the Pavllas River Valley in relation to Butrint, from the Palaeolithic to the modern eras, examining how dominion, territory, environment and the ‘corrupting sea’ reshaped Butrint and its fluvial corridor diachronically and particularly brought profound territorial, economic and social alterations under the Roman Empire. |
