Abstract

At Dura-Europos, homes were architecturally adapted across the late 2nd and 3rd c. CE by different religious groups to serve the needs of their communities. Although the Synagogue, Mithraeum, and Christian Building all began as domestic structures and share a similar architectural development, the origins of the latter have received unique attention through its classification as a domus ecclesiae or house church. This (hyper)focus on the structure's past use as a house does not do full justice to the archaeology of the building. Through an analysis of architectural adaptations, including before-and-after 3D reconstructions and daylight simulations, the authors show how the renovations significantly differentiated the Christian Building from its domestic antecedent and from Dura's houses more broadly. This approach is meant to shift attention away from more generalized, translocal, evolutionary models of Christian architectural development to micro-level archaeological analysis that situates structures within the spatial vernacular of their local contexts.

辩论杜拉-欧罗巴斯的教会建筑:基督教建筑的来龙去脉
在杜拉-欧罗巴斯,不同的宗教团体在公元前 2 世纪晚期和 3 世纪对住宅进行了建筑改造,以满足其社区的需要。尽管犹太教堂、密特拉神庙和基督教建筑都是从家庭建筑开始的,并且有着相似的建筑发展历程,但基督教建筑的起源却因其被归类为 domus ecclesiae 或家庭教堂而受到了独特的关注。这种(过度)关注该建筑过去作为房屋的用途的做法并没有对该建筑的考古学起到充分的作用。通过对建筑改建的分析,包括前后的三维重建和日光模拟,作者展示了改建是如何将基督教建筑与其前身的住宅以及杜拉更广泛的住宅显著区分开来的。这种方法旨在将人们的注意力从基督教建筑发展的更为普遍的、跨地域的进化模式转移到微观层面的考古分析,将建筑结构置于其当地环境的空间乡土之中。
