TRAC 2016. Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference. (Rome, 16th-19th March 2016)

TRAC is an uncorporated voluntary association that has developed from and around the annual Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference series held since 1991. For the first time in its history, the 2016 TRAC conference was held in Rome in correspondence with the bi-annual Roman Archaeology Conference (RAC). The Sapienza, University of Rome, together with the BSR Institute, strongly supported the candidature of Rome for hosting TRAC in 2016. This immediately appeared as a challenging and unmistakable opportunity for taking debates in Roman Archaeology to the core of the study itself; not just for the proper 'location' of the conference, but for the chance of creating a real dialogue between Anglo-Saxon traditions and current research trends in Italian studies.
