Single Contributions

Economic aspects permeate all areas of public and private life in ancient
societies, whether in urban development, religion, art, housing, or in death.
Research on ancient economies has long played a significant role in ancient history.
Increasingly in the last decades, awareness has grown in archaeology that the
material culture of ancient societies offers excellent opportunities for studying
the structure, performance, and dynamics of ancient economic systems and economic
processes. Therefore, the main objective of this congress was to understand economy
as a central element of classical societies and to analyse its interaction with
ecological, political, social, religious, and cultural backgrounds. The theme of the
congress was addressed to all disciplines that deal with Greco-Roman civilization
and their neighbouring cultures from the Aegean Bronze Age to the end of Late
Antiquity. In this collective volume, single contributions from sessions 11 and 12
deal with digital topics such as computational approaches and 3D documentation in
archaeology and building research. On the other hand, the studies include topics on
ancient sculptures and sanctuaries as well as the rituals associated with them.
Furthermore, the numerous transcribed posters which have been presented and
discussed during the congress week in the context of a poster session are published
in this volume.
