Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
`Engendering Roman Spaces' is a research project concerned with using artefact assemblage analyses to better understand spatial and gender relationships in the early Roman Empire and to produce more engendered perspectives of Roman society. The paper discusses the methodology and analyses being used in the project to investigate social behaviour within Roman military forts and fortresses of the first and second centuries CE through analyses of the spatial distribution of artefacts at these sites. The processes involved include digitising previously published maps and artefact catalogues from Roman military sites to create searchable databases and GIS maps. They also include the classification of the artefacts according to a number of functional and gender-associated categories (combat equipment, male and female dress, toilet etc) so that the spatial distributions of the relevant activities can be plotted. This data is then used to interpret the spatial relationships of these activities and the people involved in them. The double legionary fortress of Vetera I, on the Lower Rhine, has been used to exemplify these processes. The paper includes descriptions of the methods and software employed in the digitisation of relevant published material, the formation of relational databases, and the importation of data and of site maps into a GIS programme. To illustrate these processes and to present some of the results, the paper also includes a number of examples of the analyses carried out, together with interactive GIS maps of these analyses. Includes glossary. | |||||||
