Funded Activity Summary

Drawing the line: the archaeology of Roman provincial borders in Late Antique Palaestina and Arabia (AD250 - 650). This project, using archaeological evidence from Jordan, will for the first time accurately establish the boundaries of provinces in the Roman Empire. By linking Australia and the Middle East in international scholarly research dealing with our common cultural heritage, it will increase our mutual understanding. The examination of very long-term trends in an ancient system which dealt with a complex, multi-cultural population will provide much needed comparative illustrations for the current national debate on the nature and security of Australian borders. It will also provide evidence of long-term economic change and its political consequences.
