Abstract

This contribution examines social practices in the Central Bathhouse in Jerash in Late Antiquity based on the ceramic assemblage, vessel glass, faunal remains, and small finds retrieved from two sections of the bathhouse's sewer. We argue that although the bathhouse underwent significant architectural alterations from its construction in the 4th c. CE to its abandonment in the late 7th, the activities taking place inside the building remained largely the same. Our study shows that even towards the end of the bathhouse's lifespan, bodily grooming remained integral to the bathing experience, while food and drink were consumed on the premises even though the bathing facilities had been reduced to a bare minimum. The faunal remains indicate the type of food consumed, while the small finds illustrate a lively environment where gaming and gambling took place in a social space frequented by men, women, and children.

下水道:从约旦杰拉什一个晚期古代澡堂的两个下水道内容重建社会实践
这篇论文根据从杰拉什中央澡堂的两段下水道中提取的陶瓷组合、玻璃器皿、动物遗骸和小型发现,研究了杰拉什中央澡堂在古代晚期的社会实践。我们认为,虽然澡堂从公元前 4 世纪建成到公元 7 世纪晚期废弃期间经历了重大的建筑改建,但建筑内部的活动却基本保持不变。我们的研究表明,即使到了澡堂的末期,身体梳理仍然是沐浴体验中不可或缺的一部分,而在澡堂内,尽管沐浴设施已经减少到最低限度,但人们仍然在澡堂内享用食物和饮料。动物遗骸表明了所食用食物的种类,而小规模的发现则说明了一个热闹的环境,在这个男人、女人和孩子们经常光顾的社交场所里,游戏和赌博时有发生。
