Dr. Paolo Maranzana: “The production and circulation of pottery can reveal how people faced global crises in ancient times”
For understanding the long journey of humanity, archaeology has taken advantage of many disciplines ranging from natural sciences to social sciences. Modern technologies such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have also helped archaeology to locate the archaeological materials into wider contexts. Dr. Paolo Maranzana, who recently joined the Department of History in Boğaziçi University is conducting research that benefits from contemporary approaches to archaeology. In his project titled “Manufacturing Goods: The Case of Late Roman Pottery Production and Circulation in Western-Central Anatolia,” Dr. Maranzana will research how economic independence contributed to the survival of Late Roman cities (4th – 7th c. AD) in Central Anatolia in the face of large-scale crises that affected the Roman Empire. By using GIS, he will also visualize and analyze further the connection between production centers and the circulation of ceramic fragments in a broad region.
