Case studies of dramatic innovations in technology, science and material culture, where we can study anchoring processes and their outcomes in detail.
For Work Package 5 we have selected case studies where dramatic innovations in technology, science and material culture have been or can be documented and where we can study anchoring processes and their outcomes in detail, ranging from technological innovation in prehistoric Greece and the Roman empire, to the newly created infrastructure of the Roman empire in Northwest Europe, and the history of medicine. Work Package 5 points forward to Work Package 9 (Roman republic and Augustan period; second phase of the the programme, 2021-2027).
