Books by Stefanie Hoss

Stefanie Hoss has worked as a post-excavation small finds specialist in the Netherlands for more than ten years and has taught at the Free University Amsterdam and the University of Cologne. Her research interests include the Roman culture of bathing and Roman toilets, Roman and Byzantine metal and glass finds, Roman military finds, Roman food and dining habits, and the wondrous ways of Roman refuse. Alissa Whitmore is an independent archaeologist and anthropologist who also teaches at a community college in Iowa. Her primary interest is the intersection between small finds, identity, and spatial analysis, focused on artefacts recovered from bathhouses, especially from the drains and latrines, to reconstruct the social activities of bathers in Roman public and military bathhouses. She also has interests in ancient gender and sexuality.
