where Gerald re-used passages from his previous works, and passages in the ‘Invectives’ which were themselves later re-used, and I studied the changes made to fit these passages to their varying contexts. I developed an account of Gerald’s writing and revision process —revision often done in response to contemporary political changes. I transcribed the manuscript, collated it with the previous printed editions and Gerald’s other works, identified sources and allusions, corrected errors and corrupt passages, translated the text into English, and began assembling a historical commentary and introduction. The library of the BSR itself was most helpful for this last task. This work will be presented at conferences and seminars in summer 2022 and will underpin my new edition of the ‘Book of Invectives’, again in the series Oxford Medieval Texts.

that shaped antiquarian activity. During my time in Rome, my research focussed on the three decades from the posting of Fabio Chigi to Malta as Inquisitor and Apostolic Delegate in 1634, to the end of his papacy, as Alexander VII, in 1667. I was able to examine several strands of the intensive correspondence that bound this remote island group to the metropolis. The five years that Fabio Chigi spent in Malta were a period of particularly formative and intensive antiquarian activity. In 1637, the Cardinal’s nephew Francesco Barberini deployed the Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher, as well as his librarian and trusted friend Lucas Holste, to Malta to accompany the Landgrave of Hesse, a recent convert to Catholicism. The acquaintances and lasting friendships formed between Chigi, Kircher, Holste and the Maltese antiquarian Giovanni Francesco Abela resulted in a thriving exchange of ideas that persisted well after their departure. Chigi’s meticulous diary reveals a keen interest in ancient numismatics, while his personal correspondence with Holste documents Barberini’s active interest in Abela’s collection of ancient coins, shedding light on the inseparability of patronage, power and antiquarian collections. New light was also shed on the intrigues which isolated Abela and pushed him out of his office as Vice-Chancellor of the Order of Saint John in 1640, which also had consequences for his antiquarian efforts. Another thread that emerges insistently from the written accounts of the period was that antiquarian practices were inseparable from the construction of imaginary geographies. These constructs were also an arena of contestation, in which the islands of Malta were alternately cast as a remote fragment of North Africa, or as integral part of Europe. A wider aim that needs more work, and that is now being pursued, is to chart how the intertwined biographies and microhistories of individual actors contributed to a paradigm shift in the way archaeological remains were perceived and managed. I am immensely grateful to the Shortland-Jones Fellowship and to the BSR for making this time in Rome possible, and to all the staff and award-holders for making it such a pleasant and productive time.
这就形成了古文物的活动。在罗马期间,我的研究集中在从1634年法比奥·基吉(Fabio Chigi)作为宗教裁判官和使徒代表被派往马耳他,到1667年他作为亚历山大七世(Alexander VII)结束教皇任期的三十年。我能够研究将这个偏远的岛屿群与大都市联系在一起的紧密联系的几个方面。法比奥·基吉在马耳他度过的五年是一个特别形成和密集的古物活动时期。1637年,红衣主教的侄子弗朗西斯科·巴贝里尼(Francesco Barberini)派遣耶稣会博学家阿塔纳修斯·基尔彻(Athanasius Kircher),以及他的图书管理员和值得信赖的朋友卢卡斯·霍尔斯特(Lucas Holste)前往马耳他,陪同最近皈依天主教的黑塞总督。Chigi, Kircher, Holste和马耳他古物学家Giovanni Francesco Abela之间的相识和持久的友谊导致了他们离开后持续的思想交流。Chigi细致的日记揭示了他对古代钱币学的浓厚兴趣,而他与霍尔斯特的私人通信记录了Barberini对阿贝拉收藏的古钱币的积极兴趣,揭示了赞助,权力和古董收藏的不可分割性。1640年,导致阿贝拉被孤立并被迫辞去圣约翰骑士团副会长职务的种种阴谋也为他揭开了新的面纱,这也对他的古董研究工作产生了影响。从这一时期的书面记载中不断出现的另一条线索是,古文物的实践与虚构地理的构建是分不开的。这些结构也是一个争论的舞台,在这个舞台上,马耳他群岛时而被塑造成北非的一个偏远片段,时而被塑造成欧洲的一个组成部分。一个更广泛的目标,需要更多的工作,现在正在追求,是描绘出个人演员的传记和微观历史如何交织在一起,促进了考古遗迹的认知和管理方式的范式转变。我非常感谢肖特兰-琼斯奖学金和BSR使这次罗马之行成为可能,感谢所有的工作人员和获奖者,让我们度过了如此愉快和富有成效的时光。

Smith authored the medievalist design. The stay in Italy of the colonel and of his wife Julia was revealed as a tale of death, infidelity and the Gothic. In L. Jannattoni’s telling (1987), the thistled gateposts of the estate were the materialisation of Mills’ claim to Scottish heritage. The project argued that its iconography and style unfold a much more complex reality, which is telling of the ambition of Colonel Smith and the shadows of the British Empire. Moving to the ownership of the Sisters of Visitation, the study claimed that the Capture of Rome marked the end of the monastery’s expansion plan and the beginning of the Italian state’s interest in the heritage of the Palatine, resulting in the expropriation of the estate. It suggested that the commencement of the damnatio memoriae of the villa was tied to the critical reception of broader Italian neomedieval architecture and to the reasons behind the death of Villa Smith, culminating in Mussolini’s visit to the Domus Augustana. While revealing the politicisation of the classical past and how archaeology was instrumentalised in this process, the demolition was discussed as a glaring example of Anglophobic sentiment, at a moment when British–Italian relations were at breaking point. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Paul Mellon Centre and the BSR for believing in the project. My heartfelt thanks go to Abigail Brundin, Emlyn Dodd, Harriet O’Neill, and all who made me feel at home in Rome.

This project assesses the wine and oil production of Cycladic islands over a broad chronological period to determine where, how and with what these commodities were produced, by whom, and how this production fits into networks of agricultural knowledge, ceramic production, and the landscape (including harbours and transport mechanica) of the Aegean and broader Mediterranean.1 It began in 2019 under the aegis of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens and the Greek Ministry of Culture and has now expanded into a larger multidisciplinary collaborative project with the BSR and British School at Athens. Recent articles (Dodd, 2021; 2022 in press) catalogued survey results with preliminary syntheses and discussion. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed some aspects of this work, with chemical residue analysis and lithic petrography rescheduled for May 2022. These analyses will test theories that have long depended on representation in art and literature: for example, were carved stone press beds only used for oil production, or also for wine, or both? Were facilities located in the fields nearby vines and groves as portable installations or were there more permanent, centralised installations? Through these methods, the project also hopes to shed light on smaller producers – not the typical villa-scale production visible elsewhere in the Mediterranean, but those historically overlooked — and how they fit into and evolve through antiquity. In September 2021, previously surveyed areas were reassessed on the island of Paros and new areas targeted on Naxos (Fig. 1). This complemented existing data already gathered in 2019–20 from surveys on Paros, Antiparos, Amorgos, Ios, Mykonos, and Tinos (Dodd, 2021). Reassessed areas benefited from the timing of this survey season, with much of the undergrowth cut back or dead allowing greater surface visibility and accessibility than in previous seasons which were undertaken in the winter. Surface and aerial survey methods largely followed those from previous campaigns with target areas based on the known existence of structures typically associated with wine or oil production (e.g., towers, churches, or farmsteads) and mention of material in archival documentation. Ethnographic observation complemented surveys, with material from Naxian pre-industrial olive oil mills at Koronos, Keramoti, and Damalas providing crucial comparanda to aid the reconstruction of ancient installations in this region.
