For many years, archaeologists have studied structures of ancient towns related to water supply, collection, and disposal, building robust background knowledge on how various complex systems operated, as in the case of Roman water urban infrastructure. Water usage in private domestic and commercial buildings, as well as in public areas with specific functions such as markets, necropolises, and temples, has also been investigated, but not with enough detail across a sufficient variety of sites.
The proposed session aims to bring attention to the analysis of systems, devices or practices intended for the daily use of water, within both private and public contexts in ancient towns, showcasing new results obtained through the application of methods from various sciences and disciplines. The objective is to contribute to the formation of a database containing proven methodologies, expanding the range of examples to which they can be applied, in order to facilitate networking and encourage new collaborative projects.
