These include discussions of some of the most recent techniques, such as ancient DNA and organic residue analyses, geophysical prospection, multispectral imaging and spatial and climatic modelling. While most of the content is of direct relevance to the Roman Mediterranean, the assortment of detailed case studies, methodological outlines and broader state of the field' reflections is of equal use to researchers working across disparate disciplines, geographies, and chronologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study of ancient Roman wine has been domin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume gathers the latest research on grape growing and wine production in the Roman Mediterranean. While the approaches are cutting edge, the methods and case studies are explained well for the non-expert. Bringing together the work of both established scholars as well as more junior newcomers also means that this volume serves as an essential state of the field collection. -- Laura M.
