“…In this paper, I will umbrella the approaches as ‘new materialism(s)’. The diverse nature of new materialist and posthuman approaches, especially in the context of critical Indigenous, decolonial, feminist and anti-racial theory, has huge potential, and in Roman archaeology they are gaining in interest (see Selsvold & Webb 2020).

Theories derived from the ontological, posthumanist, or the new materialist turn have been increasingly employed in various fields within archaeology in the past decade. Recently, Roman archaeology also picked up on these theories: however, critical integration as well as more theoretical refinement is necessary to show the real potential of such theories. New materialism is not about writing a ‘history of objects’, but about a better ontological positioning of the non-human and human otherness. For Roman archaeology it can therefore be a powerful tool to broaden our perspectives on material culture and diverse social issues such as inequality, marginalized communities, slavery and coloniality. In this paper I will show how we can regard ontological fluidity in the Roman world through a new theoretical lens.
