Amphiteatres, Forgotten Giants: Italica

Esta investigación se enmarca como parte del proyecto de Tesis Doctoral que tiene como objeto el análisis del anfiteatro de Itálica. De esta forma, pretendemos realizar un estudio de los edificios anfiteatrales más destacados de forma general, para complementar nuestras propuestas sobre el italicense de forma particular. Presentaremos una visión actualizada del mundo anfiteatral, en cuanto al número de los mismos se refiere y su distribución por países, prestando especial atención a los localizados en la Península Ibérica. Con ello, restituiremos la concepción que se tiene del edificio italicense, proponiendo nuevos cuerpos, nueva imagen de las fachadas principales este y oeste, y cálculo de su aforo conforme a nuestras investigaciones actualizadas, señalando los paralelos que consideramos más inmediatos.This research is framed as part of a Doctoral Thesis project whose object analyze the amphitheater of Italica. In this way we intend to conduct a study of the most important buildings amphitheaters, to complement our proposals on the italicense in particular. We will present an updated view of amphitheater world, in number and their distribution by countries, paying particular attention to those located in the Iberian Peninsula. Thus pay back the conception that is had of amphitheater italicense proposing new corps, new image of the main east and west faces, and calculating its capacity according to our investigations, noting the parallels we consider more immediate

The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition 2019 : excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke (The Söderberg Expedition) : preliminary results, with contributions by L. Recht, B. Placiente Robedizo, C. Eriksson, L. Andersson, M. Svensson, L. Avial Chicharro, S. Hermon, M. Polig & D. Kofel

The tenth season of excavations at the Late Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke was carried out in four areas: City Quarter 1 (CQ1), CQ4, City Wall 1 (CW1), and Area A (Tomb RR). The excavations in CQ1 provided additional information on the pre-LC IIIA occupation of the city. Stratum 3 which can be dated to the LC IIC (13th century BC) was further exposed. For the first time in the city even older phases, Strata 4 and 5, were found. These are tentatively dated to the LC I-II (15th to 14th century BC). In CQ4 numerous storage areas were exposed, which belong to a large compound. There is also evidence of production of textiles and purple dye. All remains can be associated to the most recent Stratum 1 and can be securely dated in the LC IIIA, i.e. the 12th century BC. A test trench (CW1) was opened up 150 m to the south-east of CQ4, in an area where the magnetometer survey indicated a possible city wall with moat. A c. 2.5 m-wide man-made construction consisting of small stones intermingled with larger blocks of stones was found running north-south. Built against the interior of this structure is a copper-producing workshop as indicated by much slag, ash, and remains of a furnace, which is preliminarily dated to the 13th century BC. Tomb RR, which was partly excavated in 2018 and secured, was reopened and additional burials came to light. The total number of skeletons now stands at 37; these are associated with 74 complete/intact finds of mainly pottery vessels of which some contained food remains. The pottery comprises Cypriot-produced wares and Mycenaean imports, which indicate a LC IIB-C date of the burials. Other finds include a unique Minoan female figurine and a bronze knife with ivory handle
