posted on 2018-03-23, 16:24 authored by Penelope M AllisonThis introduction outlines the rationale for and concerns of the research network, ‘Big
Data on the Roman Table’ – an international forum showcasing and exploring new
ways of harnessing and analysing the extensive datasets of tablewares from around
the Roman world, for agenda-changing, consumption-oriented approaches to this rich
archaeological record from the early Roman empire. The introduction sets out the
problems facing more social-historical approaches to these, mainly ceramic,
tablewares and includes examples from my own research into tablewares, from the
Roman world and beyond, to demonstrate my reasons for initiating and co-organising
this network. It also summarises the structure and the approaches of this volume and
its selection of articles, from papers presented at the two workshops of this network
