He first examines the Roman villa, looking at changing interpretations of the villa and the ways they have been shaped both by new information and evolving interpretative models, relating the survey-settlement evidence to larger questions of landscape use and landscape transformation during the Roman period. Focusing on areas where some of the most innovative rural research has been conducted - Italy, North Africa, Spain and France - he discusses what happened in rural areas in the period of transition between the end of Antiquity and the emergence of medieval society, showing that the period of transition was much longer than previously thought and that there was tremendous variation not only between one part of the Empire and another, but between micro-regions within a single province.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Dyson's study brings together discrete fields of the investigation which have influenced our understandings of aspects of the Roman world . . . ." -- New England Classical Journal<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Stephen L.
