"Our reason for turning to Palestine is that Palestine is our country". With these words, delivered to applause, William Thompson, the archbishop of York, exhorted the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1875 in London to deeds of heroic science. He captures perfectly the bullish tone of British Imperialism, linked as ever to a Protestant supersessionism, that was instrumental in forming the modern map of the Middle East. Because the Bible found its geography in the Holy Land and the Bible was the founding document of Protestant Christianity, Palestine could be said to be "our country". Exploration and mapping, as several fine studies have shown, prepared the way eventually for military conquest and imperial governance. As Captain Warren, one of the leading surveyors of the Palestine Exploration Fund, wrote – it is the conclusion of his famous, best-selling archaeological study of underground Jerusalem: "Will those who love Palestine, love freedom, justice, the Bible, learn to look upon the country as one which may shortly be on the market? Will not they look about and make preparations and discuss the question?" This clarion call, shocking in its explicit recognition that a country could be "on the market", was made with the avowed intention of "gradually introducing the Jew, pure and simple, who is eventually to occupy and govern the country". The Palestine Exploration Fund linked the new technologies of scientific archaeology with a radical Protestant belief in what would come to be called Zionism and an economic and military politics of imperial right in a heady brew of ideology and pragmatism. It produced outstanding new archaeological discoveries, the first accurate maps of the region, and an extraordinary example of how Victorian archaeological science and historical investigation were fully informed by a set of religious, social, and political expectations.

American scholars had been in on biblical archaeology from the beginning. Edward Robinson, of the Union Theological Seminary in New York, has a claim to be the subject's founder. His Biblical Researches in Palestine and Adjacent Regions won the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society of London in 1842, and represents the first serious attempt to survey the sites of the Holy Land mentioned in the Bible. He made stirring discoveries at the heart of Jerusalem – Robinson's Arch, for example, as it is now called, at the foot of the Temple Mount – and caused a controversy that lasted for more than seventy years when he questioned whether the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the true site of the Crucifixion. His challenging statement that Jerusalem was the home of "credulous superstition, not unmingled with pious fraud" set critical history and religious belief at odds with each other. Later in the century Fredrick Bliss from the American University in Beirut made some remarkable archaeological finds (though to his great chagrin he missed the Madaba map, although he began to excavate the site where it was finally found), and as the remarkable new exhibition at the Yale Art Gallery, opened in January 2013, brilliantly displays, the discovery of Dura-Europus gave a new vision of third-century Roman multiculturalism and the fusions of religious art. As Michael Oren, the historian who is currently Israeli Ambassador to Washington, has catalogued in his book Power, Faith and Fantasy (New York, 2007), American involvement in the Middle East has been a long and complex cultural and political engagement, for which biblical archaeology has played a crucial mediating role.

Within this fascinating history of how archaeology, the bible, and world history interrelate, the American Palestine Exploration Society (APES) is something of a ridiculus mus, but an institution which is telling precisely because of its failures, misplaced ambitions, and sheer incompetence, as the very brief introduction to this volume narrates. APES was founded in New York in the early 1870s, inspired by and intimately connected with the British Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF), founded in 1865. Its head from 1871 to its demise in the 1880s was Roswell Hitchcock, who had written the biography of Edward Robinson, and shared his senior colleague's hopes for biblical archaeology and the science of exploration. APES organized survey expeditions in 1873 and 1875, with follow up trips in 1876 and 1877 in the West of the region, following an agreement with the British PEF to divide the territory between them (the eastern areas had most of the biblical sites). Dividing the map of the Middle East became a western habit. APES consequently made its headquarters in Beirut. This decision had long-term implications in its potential for interaction with the American University of Beirut (founded in 1866), and, most relevantly for the volume under review, in its connection with the most important centres of photography in the region, but it did not help the surveys. All the expeditions were delayed for months in Beirut, and made slow progress to and from the area to be surveyed, with detours to biblical sites on the way – a process which damaged their already precarious funding. But this was only the start of their errors and inadequacy.

None of the appointed surveyors was fully up to date with the new techniques of surveying or scientific archaeology which were developing apace at this time. They travelled without even a theodolite and measuring chain, basic and essential tools for the work. The first expedition of 1873, led by an engineer, Edgar Steever, and an archaeologist, John Paine, was underfunded and never had the staff to complete a proper survey. They were aware of their deficiencies, as were the British, and from the beginning, the collaboration was under strain. The 1875 expedition was led by the engineer James Lane, who had commanded troops in the Civil War but had no experience of archaeology or the Middle East, and the archaeologist Selah Merrill, a Congregational Minister who would become a notorious consul in Jerusalem for the USA. This expedition (and Merrill's own two follow up trips) were equally disastrous. Lane was well aware he could not survey properly with the equipment and staff provided. Merrill was more interested in archaeological discoveries. But Merrill only went to well-known and often well-published sites. The maps that were produced were so elementary and inadequate that the British PEF refused to publish them, even after representations from Hitchcock to Walter Besant in New York and George Grove in London. Shortly afterwards, APES was dissolved.

The Lane-Merrill expedition, however, had hired a photographer in Beirut, Tancrede Dumas, aptly named for a crusading foreign artist. The photographer added to the slowness of their travel, but produced an album of 100 photographs (available for purchase together or individually) of archaeological sites of interest. The Photographs of the American Palestine Exploration Society, a handsomely produced volume, collects these 100 photographs with 80 others from the survey expeditions. They are assembled from a range of sources, mainly institutional archives to which they were sent in the nineteenth century. The images are printed beautifully, with an introductory essay and a catalogue of fingernail sketches with details of provenance and brief comments. There is an appendix of relevant archival documents tracing the chequered history of the relationship between APES and the PEF.

Photography is an especially important tool of the new archaeology, not least because of its claim on the real. New printing technology also enabled the images of the Holy Land to circulate more widely than ever before. Photography changed the West's imaginary investment in the Holy Land. Contemporary understanding of the role of this imaging is important and far from fully researched or comprehended. This volume is a very useful addition to the materials available for such work, and the short history of APES is expertly put together. The work of Dumas, however, was never as popular or successful as the images produced by the Bonfils Studio, also in Beirut (APES could not afford or perhaps appreciate the higher quality craftsmen), and in their introduction here the authors offer some good contrast in the formal technique of the different camera-work of the two studios. Dumas certainly lacks the technical brilliance of the Bonfils' images, but – and this is not explored by the authors – he also does not engage with the landscape as a palimpsest of biblical history in the way which some of the Bonfils images do. Bonfils, for example, are happy to label a contemporary harvest scene "Ruth and Boas", enforcing a connection between biblical history and the here-and-now in an imagined continuity, a sort of figural reading. There is nothing like this in Dumas' work, which makes less dramatic envisionings of the world around him, and the contrast is a telling one for the development of the West's articulation of its visual sense of the Oriental other.

The Photographs of the American Palestine Exploration Society is primarily a source book. Had the introduction been more expansive, it could certainly have treated Selah Merrill in more detail. He is a fascinating character who emerges here in far less lurid colours than he deserves. As American consul in Jerusalem, he entered into violent conflict with the so-called American Colony, a religious group of American and Swedish Christians made famous by the writings of the Nobel Laureate Selma Lagerlöf and Anna Spafford Vester. The American Colony Hotel in modern Jerusalem is the site of their commune. Merrill accused the pious group of sexual shenanigans, and went so far as to sell their graveyard and dig up and discard the bones from the graves – an act that caused huge scandal back in America, and led to him losing his appointment. He also opposed Jewish agricultural settlements in Palestine, against his own State department's policies. He was a Hebrew scholar who had little time for Jews, argued with many Christians, and whose cantankerous, opinionated stance demonstrates vividly how much scholarship in these areas is tied up with personal formation.

Similarly, while the contrast between Dumas and the Bonfils studio is well taken, Dumas' work could have been more broadly located within the growing field of photographic representation of the Holy Land. Relevant here are not just the work of pioneers such as Frith, Salzman, or the American Colony itself, which sold many photographs to tourists in Jerusalem, but also the extensive work of Ottoman photographers, stimulated by the Sultan's patronage, who was well-aware of the West's Orientalist gaze and used photography self-consciously as a propaganda tool to construct a counter-image of the modern Ottoman empire. The battle for hearts and minds was fought through competing constructions of the real through photography.

The Photographs of the American Palestine Exploration Society is a solid and useful contribution to a growing field. There is much more intellectually ambitious work remaining to be done in this area, but this volume provides thoughtful and well-produced materials to enable the work to progress. It is an expensive volume at nearly $90, but, in a twist of economics, cheaper than in the nineteenth century, when Dumas' album was priced at $200.

Mats Malm, The Soul of Poetry Redefined: Vacillations of Mimesis from Aristotle to Romanticism. Copenhagen: Museum Tusculanum Press, University of Copenhagen, 2012. Pp. 238. ISBN 9788763537421. $43.00.

Those who think seriously about mimesis in Aristotle's Poetics should appreciate a good part of this well- informed and at times innovative study. Especially in his first five chapters, Mats Malm has an unusual focus on the history of this slippery idea. He traces the meaning of mimesis from, originally, the imitation of actions ("res") to the quite different sense of imitation that uses language ("verba") as its medium. These are labeled respectively as "mimesis-composition" and "mimesis-representation." Both kinds of mimesis, Malm observes, have been seen as "the soul [i.e., essence] of poetry," and their opposition has created a fruitful dynamic in literary history. To understand mimesis Malm turns from the Poetics to the Rhetoric, where "words are imitations," so that the act of imitation means "working it out in diction," though always "muthos is the kind of mimesis that comes first" (28). In also considering implications for the principle of verisimilitude – i.e., probability? credibility? – Malm notes that the impreciseness in terminology over the centuries "makes ample space for renegotiating not only the soul of poetry but also the question of verisimilitude in poetry" (37). Throughout the book he shows a good comparatist's knowledge of languages and sensitivity to the fascinating slippages that can occur in moving from and among Greek, Latin, and the modern European languages most involved in the establishing of critical theory.

A major crisis in the history of mimesis occurs with the medieval Arab misreading of the Poetics as chiefly about non-dramatic poetry rather than drama. From Western translations of Averroes, authors like Chaucer understood tragedy to mean a narrative about one who falls from power. Hence also the emphasis of such authors on poetry as epideictic, aimed at praise or blame, partly through visualization and especially through metaphor. The subject of an interesting chapter in Malm's study is the poetics of Mathias Lincopensis, confessor to St. Bridget of Sweden, demonstrating the widespread incorporation of Averroistic ideas in the West. Mathias's characteristically late medieval advocacy of visualization and his grounding in poetry as rhetoric would persist long after his time.

An original claim in Malm's history emerges in chapter 4, on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian critics. The argument is that even Francesco Robortello, the first great scholar of the Poetics, believed that for Aristotle "the predominant sense of imitation is mimesis-representation" (80); not until Lodovico Castelvetro, two decades later, in 1570, was mimesis-composition proposed as Aristotle's intended meaning. Yet when Castelvetro connects fable, character, and thought – Aristotle's first three parts of tragedy – with invention and disposition (arrangement), Malm describes him as "the one who most succinctly formulates the correspondence" between the Poetics and Aristotle's Rhetoric (85). This correspondence actually argues for a continuity rather than a disjunction between mimesis-composition and mimesis-representation. Touching on J. C. Scaliger and Sforza Pallavicino, the chapter concludes with the "mannerist" poetics of Emmanuele Tesauro, who in 1654 still upholds the Averroistic ideas of mimesis, proposing "a very strict definition of imitatio, which makes the soul of poetry more or less exclusively the same as metaphor" (98). While the Italian comments on Aristotle abound in terminological confusion, Malm notes, Tesauro clearly does shift the entire discussion into (for him) the more fruitful ground of the Rhetoric.

Chapter 5, "French Classicism and the Necessity of Probability," contains very brief discussions of Corneille's and Racine's views regarding probability as derived from the sense of necessity inherent in the plot. Here it would have been worthwhile to discuss something of Daniel Heinsius's 1611 book on the construction of plot in Aristotle. The Dutch humanist is widely recognized as a better scholar of the Poetics than the Italians and a key intermediary in the development of French classicism. This chapter argues that, during this period, mimesis- composition once again resumes its priority over representation as determining the soul of poetry. While the seemingly important era of French classicism receives only eight pages, chapter 6, "The Principle and Polemics of the Fine Arts," receives twenty, focusing on Charles Batteux's 1746 Les beaux arts réduits à un même principe. (Malm appears most at home in the eighteenth century.) Batteux's work appears at a time when attention is shifting "from the object to the mediating subject. The emphasis on the imagination and the evolving aesthetics implied that imitation could no longer be the essence of poetry" (111). A problem noted all along has been that some poetic genres, pre-eminently that of lyric, are entirely lacking in plot; accordingly, the soul of poetry must be not fable or plot, but representation, especially the technique of representation. All art is representation, says Batteux, and in poetry its means is language. Yet, as Malm writes at the start of the next chapter, that is a "rather unchallenging" idea, "so truistic that hardly anyone could object to it" (131). Chapter 7, a brief foray into Schlegel and the early nineteenth century, bids farewell entirely to Aristotelian theory, turning instead to three chapters on "the questions of mimesis-composition and especially mimesis-representation in the development of aesthetics" (136). It thereafter becomes clear why "vacillations" appears in the book's subtitle.

The last fifty pages of the book are devoted to the symbol, the sublime, and the place of emotions in the development of genre theory. Chapter 8 is entitled "The Technique of the Sublime," a subject on which Malm has previously written effectively. It continues his prior argument for the importance of phantasia to the understanding of Peri hupsous, the critical text traditionally attributed to Longinus. "Every instance of phantasia" in this work, he argues (tracing Boileau's misleading influence on its reception), "is to be understood in the sense of 'image' or 'visualization.'" (146). Chapter 9, "The Symbol and the Categories of Rhetoric," treats its subjects with appalling superficiality. There is a brief nod to Tzvetan Todorov's Theories of the Symbol in the first end note, but no serious engagement with this or many of the other writings on this vast topic (e.g., Angus Fletcher's monumental Allegory: The Theory of a Symbolic Mode, which makes short work of the old symbol-allegory dichotomy). The last chapter, "Emotions and the System of Genres," sees the eighteenth century as the time when a new validation of human emotion evolved concurrently with the elevation of lyric to a major genre: "This appraisal of lyric and emotion could hardly have taken place earlier in history, since it depends partly on scientific progress, not least within psychology, and partly on an apparent change of moral values connected with emotions" (171). A symposium of classicists on this point of view would be worth paying for.

So this is a book about the reception of Aristotle's Poetics, the various meanings attached to mimesis, the sublime, the emergence of the symbol with romanticism, and the development of emotions as a criterion of literary theory. I think it should have stopped after chapter 6. One of Malm's chief guides (rightly so) is Stephen Halliwell's The Aesthetics of Mimesis; however, Halliwell's dialectic is not composition versus representation, but the opposition between mimesis as world-creating and as world-reflecting.¹ On the whole, critical interest in mimesis has been totally centered on "mimesis-composition," so Malm's book may hold only marginal interest for scholars of the Poetics. And his account of the Renaissance may not convince everyone that Robortello confused the Aristotelian with the Averroistic. In work that immediately followed his famous commentary, the Italian appears to be thinking only of "mimesis-composition," as when he says of comedy: "Finem habet sibi propositum comoedia eum quem et alia omnium poematum genera: imitari mores et actiones hominum."² On the other hand, Minturno, who is not seriously discussed until chapter 10, inexplicably taking us back to roads already traveled, does seem to have been a victim of the composition-representation confusion. That poet, he says, "will invent correctly who will have chosen not only verisimilar things or those which might have happened, as demanded by the subject represented, but also things which will do honor to the whole poem, and make it varied, beautiful and pleasing; nor should they clash with each other, or be inappropriate to the matter undertaken."³ This seems to support Malm's view of Italian Aristotelianism. But not long after Italy and France, Malm summarily retires Aristotle to the shelf – even though the philosopher went on to vitalize a whole critical school in twentieth-century Chicago. In bringing the history of Aristotle's Poetics to bear on certain early modern theories regarding representation (a word whose meaning is hard to pin down) and related topics , this book has attempted to weave together some widely disparate strands of literary aesthetics.

In the fourth century BC, the Italian peninsula was home to a group of interrelated but politically, culturally, and socially distinct entities. On the eve of Actium, tota Italia (Aug. Anc. 25) swore its allegiance to the future Augustus Caesar agens Italos (Verg. Aen. 8.678). This volume, edited by Saskia Roselaar, collects a number of attempts to answer the difficult question of how best to connect these two points.

The book publishes papers from a 2010 conference at the University of Manchester on the formation of an Italian identity under Roman political domination. Despite the absence of "Italy" in the title, this is a book about Italian integration and identity formation: fully nineteen of the twenty papers treat Italian topics. Not long ago, the peninsula's transformation from Italian to Roman still seemed the uniform result of a convergence so natural that Mommsen had compared it to the law of gravity. However, beginning with Henrik Mouritsen's reassessment of the Social War as a fight for Italian independence, not enfranchisement, historians have abandoned this teleology and begun to reflect instead upon the many decentralized and multilinear processes that ultimately reshaped Italy.¹ At the same time, archaeology, particularly field survey, continues to reveal the fragmentation and diversity of Italian cultural and socioeconomic practices in the last three centuries BC when seen at a regional or even local level.²

The editor's introduction notes that much recent work within this new regionalist paradigm contents itself simply with observing the results of increased contact with expanding Roman imperialism. Instead, she orients the volume towards the "points of contact" themselves, in hopes of understanding what characterized the daily interactions that brought together Romans and Italians (or Italians and Italians) and thus may have supported the long-lasting and profound transformation from Republican to Imperial Italy. About a dozen of the chapters that follow respond explicitly to this directive. Let me review the individual contributions before assessing what the volume offers to our understanding of integration and identity formation in the period.

Roman Roth criticizes the methodology of previous studies of Italy for starting from received boundaries such as ethnic divisions or Augustan regiones; these categories impose borders upon the evidence. Instead, he sketches out an approach to Central Italy viewed from the perspective of settlement and connectivity, and guided by Horden and Purcell's The Corrupting Sea.³ No doubt there is potential here: after all, South Etruria was one of Horden and Purcell's "four definite places." We look forward to the fuller application of the model.

Federico Russo argues that Rome conceived of the First Punic War, fought mostly in Sicily, as a conflict over Italy. Much of this restates the conclusions of his article from Historia in 2010: the rhetoric of the ludi saeculares of 249 BC reflects Rome's expanding interest in Italy; the Mamertines' appeal to homophylia with Rome suggests that such a view may have also applied to Italians in Sicily.⁴ Skylar Neil suggests that Perusia's comparatively late urbanization resulted from the settlement's peripheral geographic location.

Two chapters discuss the role of the Republican army as a "melting pot." Patrick Kent argues that ad hoc interstate cooperation characterized Italian warfare prior to the Punic Wars. Nathan Rosenstein's outstanding paper questions a recent proposition that linguistic differences prevented meaningful interaction between Romans and allied soldiers. Ranging widely from archaeology to a comparison with the US armed forces, he concludes that, while the Republican army provided ample space for integration between Romans and Italians out of a basic desire for efficiency in battle, military structures never supported the formation of a common identity and instead may have highlighted Italian individualism.

The next pair of chapters turns to issues of citizenship leading up to the Social War. Seth Kendall suggests that Rome acted against its self-interest to protect its citizenship in pursuing a war known to be potentially devastating. Fiona Tweedie sets the Lex Licinia Mucia of 95 BC in its broader context, convincingly interpreting the legislation as a reactive measure intended to embarrass those socii who had illegally been extended citizenship in the particularly liberal census of 97 BC. The law fueled resentment, prompting a reassessment in the following census and ultimately Drusus' failed rogatio of 91 BC.

From citizenship to commerce: Roselaar shows how concern for the protection of Italians' commercial activity in the East became a factor in shaping Rome's foreign policy. Italians abroad were increasingly viewed, and increasingly viewed themselves, as representatives of Rome's commercial interests. This was conducive to integration, but only to a point: once the allies recognized their position, they quickly grew dissatisfied with their political exclusion.

By way of trade, the next chapter returns to the army. Toni Ñaco del Hoyo and Jordi Principal examine two Roman military outposts in Northeastern Spain that contain predominantly local material assemblages with some in-mixing of Italian imports. The authors see the continued strategic importance of Hispania Citerior even after the fall of Numantia as guided by Rome's global ambitions, but in this case, those global ambitions were reliant on indigenous manpower and supply chains.

Continuing with trade, Daniel Hoyer promotes an optimistic view of Samnium's economy and recasts the Samnite Wars as a competition between Romans and Samnites over access to and control of resources. Hoyer's positive view of the Samnites finds supporters elsewhere in the volume; Livy's picture of a rustic, backwards mountain people is wrong, but just how wrong? A comparative approach now seems needed: no doubt that some Samnites settled, farmed, and bought and sold pottery, but how does the quantity of material stack up against contemporary activity in comparable areas of Italy?

Next, two particularly strong chapters on social networks. Kathryn Lomas' excellent paper examines Cicero's speeches and letters in order to understand the social practices of vicinitas and hospitium, which in Social Network Theory parlance can be defined as "weak ties." While these weak ties bound Cicero to Italians and provincials, "strong ties" like kinship or conubium proved insufficient to prevent the Social War. To explain this, Social Network Theory relates that strong ties, naturally more inward-looking, are also more apt to create cliques and factions, whereas weak ties by virtue of their diverse membership are outward looking, bridge different social groups, and are thus effective integrators. In turn, John Patterson builds from his recent work on social relationships between Romans and Italians to consider how Italians connected with other Italians. Like Lomas, he endorses Peter Brunt's observation that, whatever the character of those ties that bound various Italians together, they ultimately proved insufficient to prevent either the outbreak of the Social War or the eventual Roman victory.

Colonization seems a natural "point of contact." Edward Bispham's instructive case study describes a "double community" at the coastal colony of Antium with Volscians and Roman colonists living side-by-side. The Antiate Romans engaged in the sort of piracy for which the Volscians were famous, even after the Volscian population had disappeared. This is a well-articulated example of the contribution indigenous peoples could make to the societies of early and mid-Republican colonies.

Elizabeth Robinson presents results of an archaeological study of Larinum in Molise and advances an interpretation of a high degree of continuity and stability, at least insofar as concerned the local elite. As it contrasts with the violent picture gleaned from our literary evidence, the smooth transition of Larinum from Samnite center to Roman municipium highlights the need for fine-grained resolution that only such local studies can provide.

Osvaldo Sacchi sees continuity among indigenous magistracies at Capua before and after Rome's punitive dismantling of much of the local government in 211 BC. To support this, he labors to reaffirm the vicus- pagus model as an authentic form of archaic Italian settlement.

As we all know, during the first century BC, Latin replaced the vast majority of indigenous Italian languages. I learned a great deal about this process from David Langslow's admirably lucid discussion of about twenty epigraphic documents. He makes a sophisticated case for cultural borrowing and Latin linguistic behavior even in non-Latin texts. Especially where we may detect a conscious choice of linguistic practice, many of "the language-related phenomena are more cultural objects than linguistic features proper" (294), and thus important evidence not of Latinization, but of Italian reaction to Roman cultural practice.

Underscoring the role of Italy in Cato's Origines, Eleanor Jefferson offers a salient reminder that Romans of the second century were themselves consciously writing Italians into their histories. To my mind, though, she goes too far in arguing that Cato intended his work to find a "multi-cultural readership" among Italian elites. The centripetal movement of mid Republican authors to Rome, which she cites, finds little centrifugal corollary; the Fabius Pictor inscription from Taormina proves no more than does Timaeus himself that Magna Graecia was interested in Greek histories that discussed Rome; it says nothing about the reception of Cato's idiosyncratic work.

Three chapters on religion round out the volume. Rianne Hermans looks at how the perception of Juno Sospita changed after the Italian deity arrived at Rome; I would have appreciated illustrations to clarify her iconographic discussion. Massimiliano Di Fazio's contribution shows how the worship of the Sabine goddess Feronia came to Rome in the fourth or third century BC, where she nonetheless maintained her Sabine identity. Then, Feronia's cult was promulgated from Rome throughout Italy following Roman expansion, but often with a degree of non-Roman affiliation. The chapter rewards by depicting religious development in Republican Italy as dependent upon a rich spectrum of concerns from Roman, "Romanized," and local. Elisabeth Buchet examines three cults at Tibur (Tiburnus, Albunea, and Hercules) and shows with impressive insight how each reflected the vicissitudes of the city's relationship with Rome; religious practice served the larger aim of promoting a community's independent identity.

Some stray commas and misspellings will not stand in the reader's way. Might we allow that discrepancies in modern orthography (e.g. Asculum/Ausculum, Romanization/Romanisation) parallel the attention to ancient diversity? I did, however, find the inconsistent presentation of ancient texts distracting: some authors give only translation, others both original and translation, and others no translation at all; sometimes variation appears within the same article. Considering the volume's potential appeal to both the philologically and archaeologically inclined, a more systematic inclusion of translation and original would have been appreciated. As this may suggest, however, one great success here is the volume's wide and interdisciplinary scope: the methodological breadth is a welcome acknowledgement that, as far as the subject is concerned, the goals of archaeologists and historians are increasingly overlapping.

To conclude: what sort of integration and identity formation do the authors here describe? Rosenstein puts it best when he observes "integration without identification" (103), and others subscribe to a similar view. The processes of integration and identity formation seldom ran parallel. Italians and Romans interacted, but Italians rarely lost sight of their local identities. Instead of promoting cohesion, then, interaction emphasized differences and served to remind Italians of the debt that they felt Rome owed them, ultimately provoking conflict. Two decades ago, this would have been a startling conclusion. Now, it is a timely reinforcement of the role that diversity played in Italian identity formation, and the volume thus contributes to the changing way that we understand the development of tota Italia. The growing group of archaeologists and historians working on the topic are advised to take note.

In the past couple of decades wetland archaeology has been critiqued (from Tilley (1991) to Noort and O'Sullivan (2006), compare with the present volume's chapters 1 and 9¹) for being empirical and descriptive, functionalist and environmental-deterministic, reluctant to engage with theory and (especially in Britain) for being isolated from other branches of archaeology, despite its interdisciplinary character. Such perceived shortcomings (often and quite unjustly illustrated by a 1989 book by B. and J. M. Coles, People of the Wetlands, Thames and Hudson) detract from the discipline's unique ability to produce what Menotti calls "high resolution archaeological data" (p. 362). Halfway between the descriptive richness of the People of the Wetlands and the more theoretical booklet by Noort and O'Sullivan, Menotti's lucid approach both showcases the strengths of wetland archaeology and addresses its weaknesses. The volume covers the archaeology of coastal, lacustrine and riverine/estuarine sites across the world, from prehistory to the Middle Ages examining their evidence for economic and ritual activities, communication, trade and social interaction throughout the Holocene.

The remarkable preservation of organic remains in wetland sites (for example, plant, wood, skin, invertebrates) is due to cumulative factors, primarily the absence of oxygen and the presence of anti-microbial substances such as the polysaccharide sphagnan in the sphagnum moss (198). Not only do wetland sites yield artifacts not preserved in dryland sites, but they also give clues to the interpretation of the non-organic remains of composite artifacts (176; also see the net sinker from Lake Biel (Switzerland), made of small pebbles wrapped and tied with bark, or the wooden sickle with flint blades from Fiavé, Italy). Chapters 2 and 4, the largest and the most impressive chapters, represent an up-to-date, magisterial overview of wetland finds, sampling information from sites on all continents. Chapter 2 starts off in the European Mesolithic, represented among others by sites on the German coast of the Baltic Sea, in the Masurian Lakeland in Poland, and in England (Star Carr's "famous perforated skull" of a deer (37) is in fact at least 20 skulls). The Neolithization of the Circum-Alpine region (about which Menotti is particularly knowledgeable) is illustrated by multi-occupation sites, such as ZH-Mozartstrasse (Lake Zurich). The overview covers all periods to the Middle Ages. Asia's first wetland remains are those of brushwood huts at Ohalo, in the Sea of Galilee, 23,000 BP. Here again Menotti is directing a spectacular wetland site parade: in Russia, a site in the Shigirsky Moor (8^th mil. BCE ) yielded a 5.3 m wooden idol, sites in China answer questions about the first domestication of rice or the cultivation of silk worms, while in Japan, shell middens (such as Torihama) and the spectacular coffer dam excavations from Awazu shed light on the Jomon period. Further afield, in Oceania, Australian wetlands produced the oldest human cremation in the world at Lake Mungo. From the Canadian site L'Anse aux Meadows, a Viking site in Newfoundland/Terre Neuve, comes the oldest evidence of European settlements in the New World. In the US a majority of sites are found in Florida, such as the mortuary pond Windover (5,400 BCE), while the northwest coast boasts the "Pompeii-like" site Ozette (89.) Mayan rock alignments near Makabil, in the Yucatán peninsula and Monte Verde in Chile are among the rare wetland sites in Central and South America. A few sites are attested in Africa, including the Dufuna canoe from Nigeria (5,500 BCE). Menotti also mentions contemporary pile-dwellings on Lake Nokoué, Benin (misspelled Naboue on the map). Chapter 3 discusses a cluster of issues such as resource potential and adaptability, population ecology, and migration, and speaks against environmental determinism – it is the "landscape learning process" and the "flexibility of sociocultural adjustments that determines success or failure in settling new environments" (101). A case study on red deer overexploitation in the Lake Zurich region follows (111-115). In Chapter 4 Menotti considers evidence from many of the sites presented in chapter 2 in light of settlement, transportation, trade and other factors. Menotti discusses houses in wetland settlements from Biskupin to New Zealand, with an enchanting presentation of wood construction techniques of Circum-Alpine houses (132-139) and of Irish/Scottish crannogs, artificial islands with retaining walls built for habitation (143-144). A section on trackways (163-168) was to be expected (1300 toghers in Ireland alone!), and, while probably over-emphasizing their functional importance, Menotti also puts forward interesting hypotheses: "the numerous repairs of trackways, as well as some peculiarly marked planks obtained from the same trees but found 40km apart [in the Lengener Moor] suggest a regional service responsible for the construction and maintenance" (168). Menotti reconstructs the life of wetland settlements from their material culture, from water transportation (100 canoes dated 5,000 to 500 cal BP in Florida's "canoe cemetery", Lake Newnans, here (p.171 misspelled Newmans) and fishing utensils (Maori fish hooks made of human bone) to the countless uses of birch bark (mending pottery, wrapping axe handles.), to musical instruments (e.g. panflutes), to basketry and cordage, hats made of bast (woody fiber), and insole moss pads ("with therapeutic properties"). Sacred practices are illustrated by deposits of wheels, weapons, boats, or tools. Mortuary practices in the wetlands are perhaps best documented in the US. The so-called "bog bodies" in Europe in turn have nothing to do with funerary practices. A surprisingly short discussion (two pages and two photos) of this phenomenon concludes the chapter. Questions raised by Menotti concern mainly palaeopathologies (the Yde girl, the Zweeloo Woman, the Grauballe Man). Interpretations of these bodies might go way beyond accident, punishment, or human sacrifice, and Menotti invokes the case of the two individuals reburied under the floor of the Cladh Hallan BA house in Scotland: both bodies had been dug up from the bogs when they were already 300-500 year old, and were made up of remains of 5 different individuals.

Chapter 5 is dedicated to field methods, to the extent to which they differ from dryland archaeology, whether it is aboutthe inadequacy of conventional geophysics, such as ground-penetrating radar, to waterlogged artifacts; the recording problems when the peat surface fluctuates up to 10 cm in a few days; or the need for wellpoint dewatering techniques on flooded sites (which may have to be reflooded during the night). The removal of sediment with pressurized water, cofferdam (caisson) techniques, and, for underwater lacustrine marl matrixes, water-jet pipe excavation are discussed. A section deals with preservation issues, among others anti-erosion measures, e.g., laying geotextiles reinforced with wire-mesh on the lake bottom with anthropogenic layers. The conservation of quickly warping objects is key: waterlogged wood eventually becomes a lignin framework filled with water, which must be replaced by conservators with a consolidant (polyethylene glycol (PEG) or a sucrose solution) and subjected to freeze drying or supercritical drying. Chapter 6 deals with the multidisciplinary structure of wetland archaeology, focusing on archaeobotany, archaeozoology (with ancient DNA studies related to both) and geoarchaeology. Archaeoentomology is still underdeveloped, with palaeo-parasite studies on coprolites making progress (see also photo 6.3 of human louse found between the teeth of a Roman comb). Here and elsewhere in the volume Menotti emphasizes the importance of a carefully designed sampling policy. Fine mesh (< 0.5mm) sieving goes without saying so that, Menotti adds tantalizingly, opium poppy seeds are not missed, and a photo (6.1) of a modern seed is shown.² Insights from experimental archaeology are presented in Chapter 7 (reconstructed pile-dwellings on Lake Chalain). Chapter 8 is a plea for placing wetland sites in the wider context of whole regional landscapes, or in fact "taskscapes", seeing how they are "encultured" (these two terms can be traced back to T. Ingold and C. Tilley, respectively) by means of wooden trackways and other activities which mold social identities.

Wetland sites are destroyed every day by peat extraction for fuel and by the lowering of groundwater tables. Chapter 9 focuses on wetland cultural heritage and harbors no illusions: "it is important to realize that preservation of historical environment is not about preventing change [by development], but managing it." (338). Outreach is improving, although at the cost of simplification: museum exhibitions, instead of transporting people to the past, often "import a distorted past into the present" (339), and quality popularization book are rare. Menotti's admiration for Japan's model of cultural heritage management is apparent here again, see also 74-5: "should be an example for all of us to follow".

Throughout this volume, Menotti discusses major questions, such as why there is no evidence for funerary practices in the Circum-Alpine region, or whether Neolithization was an unavoidable process. At other times he only points out interesting situations without attempting an explanation and the reader is left wondering why the Bronze Age Italian terramare (the "tells" in the Po plain) declined after five centuries of occupation, or why lake dwelling sites disappeared from the Circum-Alpine region after 3,500 years. One might wish that evidence for art had received a separate section, rather than being scattered throughout the volume (for example, the Key Marco masks, the Ozette wooden whale fin with otter teeth and, across the Atlantic, the man and woman on the trackway XLII at Wittemoor andthe ornamented heart shaped paddles from Tybrind Vig). Menotti resorts to ethnographic analogies to interpret some of the artifacts (288-9), and whether or not a particular trapezoidal wooden structure from Lake Zug can be explained by contemporary Cambodian fishing methods, ethnographic examples can certainly help interpretation in other cases (dugouts filled with rocks and sunk in winter "to prevent warping", dugouts with fireplaces on them "to provide heat and light for night spearing of eels").

Appendixes are substantial, half as long as the text itself. There is an index with the sites most often mentioned; an excellent 90-page bibliography, of which half is publications post-2000, and as much as 15% are titles in languages other than English, and a short glossary (but from the book's first few pages one runs into words which could have also been included in this glossary, such as morainic, cladistics, wiggle matching). The more than 30 maps are unfortunately gray satellite maps with no modern state borders added and no other names than those of the sites referenced in the text.

To conclude: Menotti reviews the contribution of wetland archaeology to our knowledge of past societies (Mesolithic to Middle Ages) and strives for a good balance between description of the material culture and new theoretical approaches. However, compared to the material culture overviews from chapter 2 and 4, which are real tours de force, the more theoretical chapters appear less savvy. The full integration of theoretical with empirical approaches, advocated by Menotti and others, has not been fully achieved yet in wetland archaeology.³ Also, Menotti's critique of the processual character of wetland archaeology is occasionally at odds with his own confidence that advancing computer technology will eventually be able "to simulate reliable accounts of past ways of living" (318). This high quality volume however is the perfect way to get one's feet wet with wetland archaeology.

3.   E.g., the section entitled "methodology" of the otherwise remarkable Lillie, M. and Ellis, S. (2007), Wetland archaeology and environments, Oxford 2007 (143-245) still deals with "what has been found", rather than with "why and how has this been looked for".
