Tiberias, Theater |
| We are continuing to expose the Roman theater in Tiberias. An impressive monumental staircase was uncovered that leads to a building with a mosaic floor on which there are Greek dedicatory inscriptions that apparently date to the third-fourth centuries CE. Two construction phases were discerned in the theater. The first probably dates to the time when the city was founded and the second is from the second or third century CE, when the theater was significantly enlarged.

Stone Study |
| Once again our main goal was to determine the provenance of the stone types used for the wall and floor veneer of Sagalassos. Whereas the wall veneer was the primary subject of research during the previous two seasons, this year special attention was given to the floor revetment. During the campaign of 2008 the opus sectile floor of the Apodyterium and Frigidarium II of the Roman baths of Sagalassos was already examined. This year a closer look was taken at some of the mosaic floors of Sagalassos. For the public bath building the stone types of a section of the mosaic floor of Frigidarium I were determined macroscopically. Samples were taken for future archaeometric research at Centre of Archaeological Sciences (CAS) in Heverlee. Labels: art, mosaic, roman empire, scholar |
