dc.description.abstract
Ancient civilizations have passed down to us a vast range of monumental
structures. Monumentality is a complex phenomenon that we address here as
‘XXL’. It encompasses a large range of different aspects, such as
sophisticated technical and logistical skills and the vast economic resources
required. This contribution takes a closer look at the special interdependence
of space and knowledge represented by such XXL projects. We develop a set of
objective criteria for determining whether an object qualifies as ‘XXL’, in
order to permit a broadly framed study comparing manifestations of the XXL
phenomenon in different cultures and describing the functional and
conceptional role of the phenomenon in antiquity. Finally, we illustrate how
these criteria are being applied in the study of large construction projects
in ancient civilizations through six case studies.
