... A reconstruction based on geophysical data revealed a structure that may find analogies with typical Roman warehouses (horreum) ( Fig. 3: 3). Usually these magazines were built with ramps rather than staircases to provide easy access to the upper floors (Rickman, 1971;Dominguez, 2011). The lowermost section (or perhaps foundations) of the northern wall of the building is poorly preserved but is still visible in the profile on the beach. ...

Remains of a vast Roman pottery production complex were found on the shore of the Plemići Bay (Općina Ražanac, Zadar county) in 2012, and confirmed by geophysical survey. Ground-penetrating radar measurements revealed outline of a rectangular building that finds analogies with Roman storehouses (horreum). The area occupied by remains of the Roman pottery workshop was covered by immense soil-debris flows. Three geological exposures located to the north of the remains of the Roman building were documented using lithological and malacological analysis, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The profiles revealed at least three generations of slope sediments, formed in result of intensive soil or debris flows in a dry climate, most probably in 5th c. AD. In the next, wet phase sediments were transported downslope and deposited on the Roman structures after 5th c. AD. Environmental conditions at Pelmići were supply with paleoclimate evidence from the Adriatic region. At ca. 1.5 cal. BP lake levels in the eastern Adriatic area were drastically reduced, probably because of strong decrease in humidity, correlated with the so-called North Atlantic Bond event 3. The drought was followed by a humid episode, also attested at the Plemići archaeological site.
... Los estudios más recientes sobre el análisis de los graneros sobreelevados (Salido, 2003-04;2011) nos permiten considerar el noroeste hispánico propiamente como una región de hórreos apoyados sobre pegollos. Por el momento, en la Península Ibérica solamente en la región noroccidental se ha documentado este tipo de soporte en el granero en las villae romanas de Quinta da Fórnea I (Belmonte, Portugal) (Santos, 2009: 26 y 50) y Veranes (Gijón) (Fernández Ochoa et alii, 2012a), además de los horrea del campamento de Aquis Querquennis (Rodríguez Colmenero y Herves, 1995;Salido, 2011: 509-513) y del vicus militar de Puente Castro, también de cronología posterior, que hemos podido analizar recientemente (Morillo et alii, 2018). ...

Absztrakt A Kelet-Dunántúlon található belső erődök a Constantinus-korban épült katonai utánpótlási bázisok voltak, amelyek a 374. évi kvád–szarmata betörés pusztítása után épültek újjá. Az erődök fontos épülete volt a gabonaraktár. A ságvári erőd horreumának kutatása megbízható adatokat szolgáltatott az épület és a létesítmény kronológiájához, valamint a 374. évi kvád–szarmata betörés történetéhez. A tanulmányban a horreum ásatásának eredményeit ismertetjük, kitekintéssel a pannoniai késő római gabonaraktárak építészeti típusára.

The topic of military settlements and the role of troops in the northern provinces of North Africa during the age of the Roman Empire has recently gained a strong interest in historical, archaeological, epigraphical, and economic studies. In particular, at Mauretania Tingitana (in the north-east area of modern-day Morocco), the presence of numerous military camps in the Early and Later Roman Empire has now been assessed. In this framework, the present work deals with the geophysical survey, by means of magnetometry, at the site of el Benian, where the largest military camp is located. In particular, the magnetic survey has highlighted the organization of the camp, almost totally unknown previously. The result of the magnetic survey has confirmed intense building activity over the centuries and made it possible to identify and characterize the structures typical of a military field.

En este artículo analizamos la economía agraria durante el proceso de implantación romana en el noroeste peninsular. A diferencia de lo que evidencian los resultados de los análisis arqueobotánicos, con pocos cambios importantes en la producción cerealista, destacamos un fenómeno muy particular del noroeste peninsular que comprende la construcción de graneros sobreelevados (horrea) en los castros. A partir de este estudio planteamos que esta concentración del excedente agrario es producto de los procedimientos de control, gestión y administración de las reservas dentro de una acción, planificación y programación de Roma en la región noroccidental de Hispania.

The archaeological evidence of grain stores and warehouses in North Africa is limited; knowledge is mainly based on epigraphic and literary sources. The recent research conducted by INSAP of Rabat and Siena University in the city of Thamusida (Morocco) shed new light on the study of large and small warehouses. This article identifies a quadrangular building with buttresses in the city of Banasa as another example of a warehouse built to satisfy the need of an urban micro-economy. The study includes a modelling of the territorial context in the period between the end of the 1st century A.D. and the second half of the 2nd century A.D., when with the construction of the great horreum of Thamusida, it is argued the Banasitan grain was included in the cereal production context on an extra-territorial scale.

El jaciment arqueològic de Camps de Can Colomer fou detectat durant les obres de construcció de la carretera B-40, en el seu pas pel terme municipal de Terrassa. Entre els mesos d’octubre del 2007 i maig del 2008 s’excavaren cent noranta sitges, quaranta inhumacions, nou forns de diverses mides i funcions, set dipòsits amb revestiment hidràulic, dos camps de dolis, un hipocaust, un seguit d’habitacions corresponents a la pars rustica d’una vil·la romana, un petit nucli d’hàbitat d’època medieval, diverses estructures de difícil adscripció, tant funcional com cronològica, i vint-i-set rases de conreu d’època contemporània. Durant l’any 2012 el moviment de terres generat per a la instal·lació del gasoducte MartorellFigueres, paral·lel a la B-40, permeté identificar trenta-cinc sitges, dos dipòsits amb revestiment hidràulic, part d’un forn, cinc inhumacions i un pou de sulfatació d’època contemporània, situats al nord de les restes descobertes per les obres de l’autovia.
