[Antiquitas] EAA-konferenssin sessio 312

[Ulla Rajala]

Hei suomalaiset kolleegani!

Järjestämme yhdessä Francesca Fulminanten, Joseph Lewisin,
Agnese Fischetin ja Laura Stamerran kanssa session 'Continuity and
Discontinuity of Transport Systems from Antiquity to the Present'
Budapestin EAA-konferenssissa. Abstrakteja voi jättää tästä päivästä
lähtien sivulta https://eaa.klinkhamergroup.com/eaa2022/. Voin antaa
tarvittaessa lisätietoja: rajalaullam at gmail.com

Abstrakti:
"Recently Danish economists have combined data on Roman roads and
historical data on dwellings in Europe to assess the enduring effect of the
Roman transportation network (Daalgard et al. 2018). Such research
indicates that these roads created a united Europe that was an outcome of
much older traditions. Pre-Roman Europe was not a blank slate but already
highly interconnected. The Iron Age network of proto-urban and later urban
centres (oppida) into which the Mediterranean world latched onto allowed
the whole Western European network to "take-off" within the Roman system.
The network also affected areas that were not even part of the Roman
Empire, for example in Scandinavia. This Roman infrastructure was so robust
that it could survive even the end of Roman Empire, for example in Britain.
Even today, the roads may run along the same routes used for millennia.
However, the centres and their connectors were not immutable and sometimes
disrupted more notably. For example, the Roman road network incorporated in
some instances old routes, but in the others diverted from them.

Urban networks and networked cities are becoming an increasingly dominant
theme of research and international planning and understanding the routes
and effects of these networks is vital for making informed decisions for
the present and future. The modern planning tries to save old heritage and
avoid historic routes. Thus, we encourage papers that discuss the
connections between centres and the continuity and discontinuity of ancient
transport networks. The potential topics include:

- diachronic approaches to transport
- settlement networks and connectivity
- road networks
- harbours and marine networks
- transhumance
- modelling past networks and least cost routes
- imports and exports
- modern road planning and heritage"
