“…At the end of the 4 th century, Carthage had reached a level of cultural refinement such that Agathocles was surprised to see the countryside full of houses "constructed in luxurious fashion and covered with stucco" in a landscape of "gardens and plantations of every kind". 32 Archaeological data confirm that in Carthaginian homes from the 4 th century onwards, the internal stuccoes incorporated Greekstyle ornamental motifs that resemble the First Style decorations in the houses of Pompeii (see Ferchiou 1991;Laidlaw 1997;Mancini 2010, 59-60), while some details show features typical for Carthage (see Lappi 2018). These elements are juxtaposed with Egyptian-type mouldings, but belong to a distinctively Punic style of building techniques, measures, and water management employing typical "bathtub" cisterns.…”

With this book series, the Collaborative Research Centre Scales of Transformation: Human-Environmental Interaction in Prehistoric and Archaic Societies (CRC 1266) at Kiel University enables the bundled presentation of current research outcomes of the multiple aspects of socio-environmental transformations in ancient societies. As editors of this publication platform, we are pleased to be able to publish monographs with detailed basic data and comprehensive interpretations from different case studies and landscapes as well as the extensive output from numerous scientific meetings and international workshops.The book series is dedicated to the fundamental research questions of CRC 1266, dealing with transformations on different temporal, spatial and social scales, here defined as processes leading to a substantial and enduring reorganization of socio-environmental interaction patterns. What are the substantial transformations that describe human development from 15,000 years ago to the beginning of the Common Era? How did interactions between the natural environment and human populations change over time? What role did humans play as cognitive actors trying to deal with changing social and environmental conditions? Which factors triggered the transformations that led to substantial societal and economic inequality?The understanding of human practices within often intertwined social and environmental contexts is one of the most fundamental aspects of archaeological research. Moreover, in current debates, the dynamics and feedback involved in humanenvironmental relationships have become a major issue, particularly when looking at the detectable and sometimes devastating consequences of human interference with nature. Archaeology, with its long-term perspective on human societies and landscapes, is in the unique position to trace and link comparable phenomena in the past, to study human involvement with the natural environment, to investigate the impact of humans on nature, and to outline the consequences of environmental change on human societies. Modern interdisciplinary research enables us to reach beyond simplistic monocausal lines of explanation and overcome evolutionary perspectives. Looking at the period from 15,000 to 1 BCE, CRC 1266 takes a diachronic view in order to investigate transformations involved in the development of Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers, horticulturalists, early agriculturalists, early metallurgists as well as early state societies, thus covering a wide array of societal formations and environmental conditions.The volume Mediterranean Connections. How the sea links people and transforms identities integrates papers of an extraordinarily wide interdisciplinary range, rooted in multiple disciplines (Classics, Classical Archaeology, Near Eastern Archaeology, Maritime Archaeology, Greek Literature, Greek Philology, Latin Philology, Ancient history, and Theoretical Physics) and integrates a wide range of topics and methodology (poetry, history, material culture, geography, networks, and GIS ...

Les stucs architecturaux dans le monde grec. État de la question

L’emploi du stuc dans les constructions du monde grec n’est que partiellement comparable à celui connu au Proche-Orient. Le stuc architectural à l’époque grecque n’a suscité que peu d’intérêt (d’où, souvent, des confusions terminologiques) dans chacun de ses deux emplois : à plat, comme couche de protection et d’égalisation sur toutes les surfaces, et en relief, à partir du ive s. av. J.-C., en haut de murs où des ordres grecs miniatures forment une zone décorative qui imite les colonnades de l’architecture monumentale. À la basse époque hellénistique, sur les murs du 1er Style (ou Style structural), l’ordre grec en stuc plastique peut être réduit à une corniche saillante au-dessus de moulures.
