AVANT-PROPOS Au moment de conclure, pour moi-même, l’aventure de ces colloques, ce n’est pas sans quelque émotion que je regarde la série des actes qu’ils ont suscitée elle concrétise, de façon durable, le travail accompli et son apport, aussi bien méthodologique que scientifique. Dans ce domaine souvent quelque peu aride ou ingrat de la céramologie, liée à l’archéologie de terrain et en formant comme le langage explicite pour qui sait le déchiffrer, chacune de ces rencontres internationales-depuis la réunion initiale et fondatrice de Valbonne en 1978 – a été importante et révélatrice d’une évolution rapide et féconde de ces enquêtes. Elles ouvrent la voie, bien souvent, à de nouvellesrecherches toujours mieux contrôlées et faisant appel de plus en plus à l’archéométrie. L’imposant volume des Actes de Venise – ville symbole s’il en est par sa place au coeur de cette région méditerranéenne d’abord privilégiée – constitue désormais dans cette série une pièce maîtresse à bien des titres. Par son ampleur et la multiplicité de ses acteurs (qui surent tous se plier à des règles strictes) comme par la richesse des interventions présentées: si les «nouvelles découvertes» forment toujours une grande partie des apports, de nouveaux thèmes se précisent. Outre les recherches consacrées à «Venise et son territoire» (significativement d’ailleurs ouvertes aussi à l’analyse des importations orientales perçues dans cette zone), les travaux sur l’évolution des techniques, lescontraintes commerciales, les contextes sociaux, structurent des parts fondamentales de ce congrès. Il s’y ajoute aussi des ouvertures intéressantes et parfois surprenantes sur la place des céramiques dans l’architecture. Ou plus audacieusement encore, des enquêtes sur l’utilisation conjointe des sources écrites et archéologiques dans le monde byzantin, sur le décor intérieur des églises de Chypre, sur les dernières découvertes effectuées récemment à Mertola dans un contexte riverain spécifique. Comme toujours donc, mais ici avec une étendue exceptionnelle, ce congrès surprend d’abord et s’impose par l’abondance de la documentation ainsi présentée avec autant de soin que de générosité: une «mise à disposition» qui force à l’admiration comme à la gratitude envers les auteurs et les organisateurs de ce congrès, et d’abord à son maître d’oeuvre, Sauro Gelichi, qui a accepté ainsi avec son équipe, une très lourde charge. Il s’y ajoute l’affirmation d’un élargissement décisif de l’espace étudié. Centré à l’origine, par prudence comme par nécessité, sur la partie occidentale de la Méditerranée, celui-ci s’ouvre à présent – et de façon décisive – sur l’ensemble des régions méditerranéennes, et bien au-delà, sur leurs zones d’influences ou d’inspiration. Apports et échanges de plus en plus complexes, où la part des régions orientales, proches (ou surtout peut-être) plus lointaines, ne cesse et ne cessera sans doute pas de s’affirmer. Une nouvelle période s’instaure donc dans l’évolution de ces rencontres dont il faut souhaiter la continuité sous des formes de plus en plus exigeantes et critiques, dans un phénomène de mort et de transfiguration tel que celui rappelé ici par Juan Zozaya, l’un des premiers fondateurs de ces congrès.

Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.

This bold, innovative book promises to radically alter our understanding of the Atlantic slave trade, and the depths of its horrors. Stephanie E. Smallwood offers a penetrating look at the process of enslavement from its African origins through the Middle Passage and into the American slave market. Saltwater Slavery is animated by deep research and gives us a graphic experience of the slave trade from the vantage point of the slaves themselves. The result is both a remarkable transatlantic view of the culture of enslavement, and a painful, intimate vision of the bloody, daily business of the slave trade.

In the ancient world, terracotta sculpture was ubiquitous. Readily available and economical—unlike stone suitable for carving—clay allowed artisans to craft figures of remarkable variety and expressiveness. Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily attest to the prolific coroplastic workshops that supplied sacred and decorative images for sanctuaries, settlements, and cemeteries. Sixty terracottas are investigated here by noted scholar Maria Lucia Ferruzza, comprising a selection of significant types from the Getty’s larger collection—life-size sculptures, statuettes, heads and busts, altars, and decorative appliqués. In addition to the comprehensive catalogue entries, the publication includes a guide to the full collection of over one thousand other figurines and molds from the region by Getty curator of antiquities Claire L. Lyons. Reflecting the Getty's commitment to open content, Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J. Paul Getty Museum is available online at www.getty.edu/publications/terracottas and may be downloaded for free.

Lovers of gold, wine and war, the Celts have no voice because they have left no written records. Much of what we know of them comes from their enemies the Romans, who finally crushed them, and from the weapons and ornaments they buried with their dead. From these traces we can now resurrect a sophisticated people who dominated Europe for 500 years. These highly cultured barbarians, with their exquisite jewellery and metalwork, were eventually driven to the edges of the known world - yet were destined to shine out once more in the art of Celtic Christianity.

Fierce warriors and skilled craftsmen, the Celts were famous throughout the Ancient Mediterranean World. They were the archetypal barbarians from the north and were feared by both Greeks and Romans. For two and a half thousand years they have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. Barry Cunliffe's classic study of the ancient Celtic world was first published in 1997. Since then huge advances have taken place in our knowledge: new finds, new ways of using DNA records to understand Celtic origins, new ideas about the proto-urban nature of early chieftains' strongholds, All these developments are part of this fully updated , and completely redesigned edition. Cunliffe explores the archaeological reality of these bold warriors and skilled craftsmen of barbarian Europe who inspired fear in both the Greeks and the Romans. He investigates the texts of the classical writers and contrasts their view of the Celts with current archaeological findings. Tracing the emergence of chiefdoms and the fifth- to third-century migrations as far as Bosnia and the Czech Republic, he assesses the disparity between the traditional story and the most recent historical and archaeological evidence on the Celts. Other aspects of Celtic identity such as the cultural diversity of the tribes, their social and religious systems, art, language and law, are also examined. From the picture that emerges, we are — crucially — able to distinguish between the original Celts, and those tribes which were 'Celtized', giving us an invaluable insight into the true identity of this ancient people.
