This research take part of the project Interuniversity Attraction Pôles (IUAP) 2007-2011 focusing on the "The Transition from Republic to Empire : The Impact of Romanisation on Cities and Countryside in Italy and The Provinces (2nd/1st century BC - 2nd/3rd century AD)"(Etat belge - Politique scientifique fédérale - PAI6/22, 2007-2011)
Our studies focus on geographic areas that correspond to the thirty kilometers of countryside surrounding three cities: Tongeren, Bavay and Tournai. This unusual geographic framework provides a new interpretation of spaces and allows for detailed studies. The zones cover sections of four civitates territory; the civitas Tungrorum, the civitas Nerviorum, the civitas Menapiorum and a small part of the civitas Atrebatum. Borders of the mapped areas were defined on the base of Belgian communes and French Cantons.
This study forms part of the debate about the diversity behind the unity of the Empire and further explores the evidence for the cultural multiplicity behind the Roman/native dichotomy.
Interdisciplinary researches with archaeozoologists relate to subsistance and potential changes in production and consumption of food (workpackage 9).
