“…In some cases, the most recent revision of the chronology of the potters from La Graufesenque was considered , better integrated in the general context of those pieces (ex. MAR[…]; LICINIMO and LIIIIXI) (Pinto, Magalhães and Brum, 2010; and the Samian Research Database was also consulted).

South Gaulish sigillata in Southwest Hispania: circulation and consumption

Hispania: circulation and consumption, promoted by chairwomen Catarina Viegas and Macarena Bustamante, both UNIARQ highly credited researchers in the study of Roman ceramics.One might question the purpose of conducting a workshop on a single pottery category of the Roman era. Two keywords in the workshop's subtitle, circulation and consumption, sufficiently clarify any doubts.As Nino Lamboglia wrote in a small essay (one I particularly like to quote), the study of pottery can and should be seen in a complementary perspective: pottery as an end and pottery as a means. In this specific case, the correct identification and classification of pottery is an end, an important end, and the specific format of this workshop, on its second day, seeked to finetune the methods and techniques of classification, study, and recording. However, it is on this first day that we saw in which way pottery, namely this category, can (and should) be used as a means to know more about the Roman Empire and its inhabitants. The abovementioned keywords circulation and consumption naturally point to the domains of transportation / distribution / trading, and consumption habits. Thus, a single pottery category fully justifies the researchers' attention, and we shall see why this specific category deserves special attention in the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. The study of terra sigillata in PortugalIn a short note published in the 3 rd volume of Zephyrus journal (1952) about terra sigillata studies in Portugal, Maluquer de Motes highlighted the increasing interest in the theme by Portuguese researchers. He mentioned the work of Russel Cortez and Bairrão Oleiro, the latter associated with the extensive presentation of the known panorama of potter's stamps on ts in Portugal, noting the pronounced prevalence of Gallic productions, especially the products of La Graufesenque; a reference that could not be absent in this workshop.Was there really an increasing interest in the study of ts in Portugal at that time? And a special focus on South Gaulish products? I do not think so.In fact, there were references to ts since the early days of Portuguese archaeology; Hübner's notes in CIL II and its respective supplementum, in the epigraphy section of instrumentum domesticum, mention how little it was known or valued.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) may constitute a valuable decision-support tool to allocate cultural heritage preservation resources, allowing policy comparisons without the need to monetise the expected outcomes which, in heritage contexts, are largely made of non-use values and inherently difficult to price. Nevertheless, its application in the heritage sector is still limited, arguably due to difficulties in 'effectiveness' appraisals. STORM (Safeguarding Cultural Heritage through Technical and Organisational Resources Management) is an H2020funded project for the development of Disaster Risk Management solutions for heritage sites facing natural hazards and climate change. Within its scope, a methodology for the CEA of conservation interventions was developed and applied to the Roman Ruins of Tróia (Portugal), the remains of the largest known fish-salting production centre of the Roman Empire, one of STORM's pilot sites. This paper describes the CEA methodology, including cost and effectiveness indicators and discount rate: some directives are suggested for listing the costs associated with conservation interventions; and guidelines are offered for the assessment of effectiveness, based on the compatibility of the foreseen actions with heritage materials and cultural values, and on the training of the professionals involved. Effectiveness appraisals should be undertaken by a sufficient number of relevant experts, so as to allow the obtaining of a measure of uncertainty, corresponding to the standard deviation of the expert assessments. To ensure that cultural values are safeguarded, it is additionally recommended that an effectiveness tolerability threshold is put forth, below which no actions should be chosen. The paper furthermore reports on the methodology application for the assessment of five strategies to control the risks of a sand dune weighing upon the walls of a well in the largest workshop of the Roman Ruins, Workshop 1. The strategies varied in terms of approach (preventive and remedial) and in terms of fabric interference (different degrees of maintenance). The CEA showed that ordinary maintenance options are costlier, but more effective, than extraordinary maintenance ones; it additionally confirmed that remedial strategies are not only costlier, but also highly ineffective when it comes to the conservation of the cultural significance of archaeological assets, largely reliant on the preservation of original materials. The most cost-effective option was the less intrusive strategy, matching current perspectives on archaeological conservation, and seemingly indicating that the procedure is robust. Applications to other conservation actions, e.g. emergency interventions, in the remainder STORM pilot sites, will allow further validation of the methodology.
