Visitors to the British School at Rome quickly discern that the apparent timelessness of its façadedisguises an institution that is both entirely modern in attitude and dynamic in approach. This reviewprovides compelling evidence of the quality and diversity of the BSR’s recent achievements: the activitiesof the outstanding scholars and artists from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth who made theBSR their home last year; the receptions, conferences and lectures which form an increasingly significantaspect of Rome’s cultural and academic life; the impressive output of publications and the remarkablepartnerships between British and Italian archaeologists. Central to this wide engagement are the Library,a precious research resource not restricted only to scholars resident at the BSR, and our elegantlyfunctional Lecture Theatre.

A very few years ago, the significant erosion of our income resulting from exchange rate movements,recession and retrenchment, all beyond the BSR’s control, made it seem most unlikely that we would be ableto sustain the degree of activity described in these pages. A cut of over one quarter in revenue within a yearwould be difficult for any institution to withstand. Strong leadership has successfully changed thesecircumstances. The deft and skilful implementation by the director of a more economical organisationalstructure and the decisive initiative to launch a development programme under the leadership of the directorand Mary Ellen Mathewson, which has already increased the membership, annual giving and support forresidencies, accompanied by some improvement in the sterling - euro exchange rate, have entirely redressedthe imbalance in the BSR’s finances. Most importantly, the magnificent, positive response of the staff tothese changed circumstances and their strong commitment to the institution, for which we are all mostgrateful, have raised morale to a high level. The strength of this performance was recognised in the positivereport of the representatives of the British Academy following their visit at the end of 2012.

We know that as time goes by, an ever greater proportion of our revenues must be drawn from sourcesother than public funds. Council is committed to extending our initial successes in pursuing newalternatives. We are fortunate that the very high reputation of the BSR in British and Commonwealthacademic circles has encouraged contributions from trusts and foundations with a special interest in thefields we cover. Our challenge however is to move beyond this, to establish a much wider familiarity withthe BSR amongst the general public in the United Kingdom, to nurture appreciation of the excellence of theinstitution and the opportunities it offers talented young persons, and thereby to create a deeper and widerpool of potential financial support. So this review looks forward as well as back. The Sustainable BuildingProject described below will not only secure the fabric for the long term, but will enable us to meetenvironmental goals and dramatically reduce annual running costs. We shall also seek further strategicpartnerships among universities, museums and galleries in the United Kingdom to encourage participationin our programmes and to create future opportunities at home for our award-holders.

Governance of the British School at Rome and oversight of its scholarly and artistic programmes isvested in the Council and faculties, which comprise individuals with wide-ranging experience andrecognised professional standing, knowledge and skills, who provide, on an entirely voluntary basis,valuable advice and support to the BSR, its director and staff. I have no doubt that as the next few yearsunfold, there will be yet greater calls on those who so generously serve these bodies. On behalf of theinstitution as a whole, I would like to salute and thank all Council and faculty members for theirexceptional contributions.

CH A I R M A N’S FO R E W O R D


Strong institutions adapt to survive, and the BSR has shown a good deal of flexibility in recent times. Inmany ways, the news we have is good. This year’s Annual Review ends by showing a good financial resultfor the year, which has permitted us to undertake two really important projects. First, we have begun theprocess of finding a new design and style for the whole range of our communications, with the help ofCouncil member Jane Wentworth and the design team Praline, and the results of this will become visiblein 2013–14. This will enable us to be more coherent and professional in the way we present ourselves.Second, we have commissioned Italian architects Studio Amati and the internationally renowned firmARUP to work with Studio Garofalo Miura, who have a long history with the BSR, to help us prepare forthe Sustainable Building Project.

Our research activities remain of the highest quality, whether that be our publications, our events inRome or London, or the work and achievements of our award-holders. The British Academy commended usin a review this year for our work; and the Arts and Humanities Research Council drew attention in itsstrategic plan to the relationship between the University of Southampton and the British School at Rome,as a case study in international partnerships.

BSR award-holders continue to win prizes, find positions and gain admiration for their work. The flowof publications, prizes and exhibitions that we celebrate on our social media pages is unending, and showsthe value of the work of the faculties in appointing the best artists and scholars.

When we began to think about the BSR in the context of our brand review, we used the opportunity tothink hard about our core values. We are committed to support but also to provide an intellectual challengeto those who come to the BSR. We recognise the value of our traditions, but we also value our role as aninstitution deeply engaged with the contemporary world, and producing research that is at the forefront ofscientific endeavour.

Our adherence to some key core values is what is helping us through a period of significant staff change,and in 2012–13 Alice Bygraves, Alvise di Giulio, and Maria Pia Malvezzi moved to take up new challenges and

directions. We wishthem well, as we doElly Murkett, who isalso leaving us. Shehas edited theAnnual Review since2003 and we thankher warmly for thework she has done.

More sadly, thisyear the BSR losttwo old friends,David Whitehouse(Director, 1984–94)and Charles Mason(Rome Scholar in theFine Arts 1996–7).Their work and livesenriched us, and we

are deeply grateful for the time theyspent with us.

Yet the BSR’s success rests onfragile ground. The gap betweenwhat we need to achieve our goalsand what we receive from the BritishAcademy is growing. It is the gen -erous and enduring support of ourfriends and Members that is per -mitting us to maintain our schol -arships, conduct archaeolo gicalresearch, and deliver a wide pro -gramme of events. We hope thatwhat follows will show how well wehave used that support, but also howvital it is to sustain this unique andhugely valuable institution.

Humanities (Dr Joanna Kostylo)

Collaboration at the BSRThe Humanities programme is thriving. The past year has seen a number of exciting research initiativesand collaborations that highlight our value as a strong intellectual base for collaborative research,promoting links between British, Italian and international institutions. As an example, in October 2012, weannounced an official partnership with the Archivio Centrale dello Stato and the Università della Calabriato work on previously unstudied archival records documenting the exportation of Italian art and design inthe late nineteenth century. The project, led at the BSR by Assistant Director Dr Joanna Kostylo, examinesthe export of Italian antique and contemporary fine or decorative arts within Europe and across the globe,to assess their impact on local tastes, connoisseurship, architecture and interior design, and on theestablishment of major museum and private collections.

In 2012–13 we hosted several major international conferences, beginning with ‘Rome’s Modernity:Trauma, Fracture, Narration’, held in collaboration with the University of Warwick, University CollegeLondon, the Archivio Centrale dello Stato and the Centro per lo Studio di Roma (CROMA) at the Universitàdegli Studi Roma Tre. This conference used Rome’s cityscape as a point of departure for addressingquestions of literary, art historical, cinematic and architectural manifestations of urban modernity. TheBSR’s continuing commitment to modern studies was highlighted also during the interdisciplinaryworkshop ‘Rome Under the Bombs: the City, its Monuments and the Civilian Population in the SecondWorld War’, organised by award-holders Claudia Baldoli and Sofia Serenelli, which brought together rarephotographic and archival material documenting the impact of bombing and the projects for thereconstruction of the city’s monuments. At the end of the workshop we screened San Lorenzo: Memory and

Place, produced in 2005 by David Forgacsduring his time as Research Professor inModern Studies.

The conference programme continued with areflection on the 1,800th anniversary of theAntonine Constitution co-hosted with theAmerican Academy in Rome; ‘Archaeology ofLived Religion in Antiquity’, organised by theGerman Archaeological Institute in Rome, theBSR, the Swiss Institute in Rome and the MaxWeber Centre at the University of Erfurt; and‘Lazio e Sabina: X Incontro di studi’, organisedjointly with the Soprintendenza per i Beni e leAttività Culturali and the Danish and DutchAcademies in Rome.

The year’s activities concluded with a majorinternational conference on Turin during theGrand Tour, organised in partnership withReggia di Venaria in Turin and generouslysupported by the Paul Mellon Centre forStudies in British Art. Building on the successof the conference ‘Roma Britannica’ held at theBSR in 2006, ‘Torino Britannica’ continued there-evaluation of cultural exchanges betweenBritain and Italy in the seventeenth andeighteenth centuries.

In the third year of the political crises inNorth Africa and the Middle East, the BSR and

the Centre for Global Constitutionalism of the University of St Andrews ran a highly successful workshop onconstitutionalism in the Arab uprising countries at the British Academy, sponsored by the British Academy,the Binks Trust and the Society for Libyan Studies. The BSR also contributed to the Triennial Conference ofthe British Comparative Literature Association with a workshop on migrations.

The Grand Tour and BeyondThe BSR is widely recognised as a centre for research on Grand Tour subjects, and the research project‘Rome and the World from Renaissance to Grand Tour’ deepened the BSR’s engagement with the topicthrough a series of lectures. The inaugural lecture ‘Knowledge in transit in early modern Europe: did allroads lead to Rome?’, delivered by Peter Burke at the British Academy in November 2012, examined Rome’splace in the early modern knowledge system and highlighted a variety of paths and modalities for thediffusion of cultural and intellectual trends between 1400 and 1800. This prompted consideration ofdifferent kind of knowledge(s) that circulated between Rome and the rest of Europe in the form of people,ideas, books and material objects — a topic that was discussed throughout the year. For example, thepassage of Italian books across the English Channel was discussed by Abigail Brundin in her lecture ‘Book

buying and the Grand Tour: the Italian books at BeltonHouse in Lincolnshire’, part of her project on whatthe books assembled by English noblemen andcollectors can tell us about their tastes, interests andpredilections.

The theme of decorative arts was explored by BSRResearch Fellow Patrizia Cavazzini in her lecture on thegrowing market for landscapes and still lifes purchasedby the nobility, minor clergymen, artisans and shop -keepers who began to value paintings primarily for theiraesthetic qualities, and sometimes decorated theirliving rooms with such works. Faculty of Archaeology,History and Letters member Marta Ajmar’s lecture,‘Opening up matter: exploring global material con -nections in the Renaissance’, focused on a variety ofglobal cross-cultural objects which represent a multi-layered material connection cutting through differentgeographical and temporal boundaries, as well as on theaesthetic traditions of the East and West.

BSR Research ThemesThe theme of global trade and cross-culturalencounters continued in a series of events focusing onconnectivity in the Mediterranean, one of the BSR’s keyresearch themes, including this year’s W.T.C. WalkerLecture by Alina Payne, ‘From Brunelleschi toMichelangelo to Sinan: Mediterranean perspectives onthe architect’s biography’, exploring synergies anddifferences between Ottoman and Italian Renaissance architecture, and the lectures by Mike Carr, ‘To thelands of the Sultan of Babylon: the papacy and trade with Muslims during the later Middle Ages’, andGiancarlo Casale, ‘Ottoman humanism and the world that might have been’. The workshops ‘TheMediterranean City’, jointly organised with the Society for the Study of Medieval Languages and Literature,and ‘Italy and Albania: Past and Present’ also developed themes within our current research strategy.

As ever, our award-holders make a strong and distinctive contribution to our lecture series andprogramme, and we remain grateful for all they bring to our lives together.

Supporting CultureDuring the course of the year, we have hosted several literary and art historical events, including an eveningcelebrating the exhibition on Titian at the Scuderie del Quirinale, with Sheila Hale presenting her acclaimedbiography of Titian and Seamus Heaney, William B. Hart Poet-in-Residence at the American Academy in Romeand Nobel Laureate, reading his Titian-inspired poem Actaeon. The BSR was also represented at aninternational workshop organised by the British Council in the opening week of the Venice Biennale, andchaired by Geoffrey Crossick, Director of the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Cultural Value Project.

Archaeology (Professor Simon Keay, Sophie Hay and Stephen Kay)

Archaeology at the BSR has contributed enormously to our research success. Our research theme of‘Landscape and Urbanscape’ has at its heart our geophysics activity, and our research theme of‘Connectivity in the Western Mediterranean’ is built around, but extends beyond, the Portus Project, whileour work on conservation and heritage management has benefited immensely from the HerculaneumConservation Project. The BSR offers a critical point of connection for teams working in Italy and runningpilot seasons for larger projects Further details of the projects above are given in a newly extended section of the Papers of the BritishSchool at Rome, and we have extracted here some of the highlights of another excellent year in the field.

Excavations and Survey at Portus and in its HinterlandFieldwork in late 2012 and early 2013 resumed at the Palazzo Imperiale. This is a three hectare complex locatedupon an isthmus at the centre of the port, with clear views over the Trajanic and Claudian basins. Attentionfocused upon the range of rooms that ran from east to west along the northern façade of the complex.

This is a challenging part of the site, involvingexcavation of standing archaeological remains ontwo storeys. The excavations confirm that the wholecomplex was built during the reign of the EmperorTrajan. Much attention was focused upon unrav -elling the building sequence of the rooms that liebetween its two structures. This task was madedifficult technically by the fact that this wasoriginally a three-storey complex built from brick-faced concrete, and whose component rooms areunderstood best in terms of the relationshipsbetween all three floors. However, work in thenineteenth and twentieth centuries has destroyednearly all of the second storey and much of the firststorey. A series of vaulted rooms (Building 8)arranged around the four sides of a two-storeyperistyle, with a sunken cistern similar to structuresat Hadrian’s Villa, supported abundant walls andother structures belonging to the first floor of thePalazzo Imperiale. The ground-floor rooms acted asservice quarters and were illuminated by means ofsmall clerestory windows, with the walls decoratedwith white plaster; one of the rooms was used as alatrine. Those on the first floor were much betterdecorated with painted wall plaster, mosaics andopus sectile pavements; two of the rooms on thislevel were used as luxuriously appointed latrines.The excavations have detected at least four post-

Trajanic periods of occupation. In the Severan period Building 3 was used as a glass factory, while duringthe later fifth century the northern façade of the complex was incorporated into the late-antique wallcircuit. The BSR acknowledges the considerable financial and logistical support offered by its collaborativepartner — the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma, and in particular AngeloPellegrino, as well as the ongoing involvement of Parsifal Cooperativa (Rome).

Geophysics Research ProjectsThe geophysics team at the BSR, led by Sophie Hay (Archaeological Prospection Services, Southampton),has undertaken a variety of surveys throughout the year with results ranging from the discovery of bronzeage structures in Calabria as part of the University of Groningen’s ‘Rural Life in Protohistoric Italy’ project,to the identification of Medieval and Roman structures beneath the church cloister of Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza,in the heart of Rome.

A new survey initiative at the site of Falerii Novi, with which the BSR has a long history, was started incollaboration with the University of Cambridge. The Roman town has been covered completely usinggradiometer survey, and this pilot season tested the capabilities of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) andoffered a comparison to previous results. A highly successful trial in the area of a temple has revealedmuch information about the depth of the remains and the height to which the buried walls stand —details that the initial gradiometer survey could not show.

The biggest challenge has been the GPR survey of two six-metre-high Roman burial mounds along theVia Appia as part of a project investigating the sixth mile of the Via Appia undertaken by the RoyalNetherlands Institute Rome (KNIR) with Radboud University Nijmegen. This will be an innovative project inits use of geophysics in the extreme local topography.

The main project of the year has been the survey of Peltuinum, which lies in the heart of the Abruzzo,just southeast of L’Aquila. The Roman settlement stands on a ridge overlooking the stunning Aterno Valley.The gradiometer survey concentrated on the central northern portion of the town and covered an area ofabout five hectares, where there had been sightings of crop marks delineating walls and roads along with

discoveries from small excavations. The survey results give us a clear glimpse of the orthogonal layout ofthe road system, on a northeast–southwest alignment and of many rectilinear structures within the grid.It is thanks to the Thomas Ashby: viaggi in Abruzzo 1901/1923 exhibition of photographs from the BSRArchive, taken by Thomas Ashby during his visits to the Abruzzo, that the archaeological project atPeltuinum was initiated. The BSR Archive made available all the photographs taken of the site of Peltuinumby Robert Gardner between 1910 and 1920. These images have provided an invaluable resource for our ownresearch and are now available online through the Archive’s digital collections website.

Field ProjectsThe BSR began a new research initiative in 2012 at the town of Segni in southern Lazio, led in the field forthe BSR by Stephen Kay, in collaboration with the Museo Archeologico di Segni. Over the next three yearsthe project will study two major public spaces in the ancient city: the forum and the acropolis.

The most spectacular discovery was made during the first season of excavation in the central square ofthe town, where it had been hypothesized the earlier cathedral once stood, and below it the Roman forum.The detailed georadar results had revealed a number of walls beneath the square, confirmed by thesubsequent excavation. At a depth of 1.5 metres a well-preserved polychrome mosaic was found, with ageometric design similar to examples discovered at the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum.

The excavations resumed in July 2013, and will be followed by a new collaboration with the localmuseum to study, excavate and conserve the famous nymphaeum of Quintus Mutius. The BSR gratefullyacknowledges the local support given to this project by the Mayor of Segni, Arch. Stefano Corsi, theAssessore alla Cultura, Dott. Valente Spigone, the museum director, Dott. Francesco Maria Cifarelli, andthe conservator, Dott.ssa Federica Colaiacomo.

Excavations in Piazza Santa Maria, Segni


Elsewhere, preparations began for the publication of the Falacrinae research project. Work alsocontinued at San Giovanni in Laterano, a collaboration between the BSR, the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the Università degli studi di Firenze and the Musei Vaticani.

Supporting ArchaeologyRoberta Cascino has continued to lead our work to secure concessions for archaeological work across Italy,as well as maintaining the BSR archaeological archive, alongside her work at Portus and collaborativework at Tuscania and Veii.

Finally, the Camerone warmly thanks Elizabeth Richley for her hard work at the BSR over the past twoyears, and wishes her well with her doctoral studies at the University of Southampton. Her place in theteam has been filled by Matthew Berry, a recent MSc graduate in archaeological prospection from theUniversity of Bradford. The professional opportunities offered by BSR through the geophysics programmeare a vital way in which we support archaeological activity and graduates in archaeology.

Herculaneum Conservation Project (Professor Christopher Smith)

The last year has seen continuing efforts to conserve and enhance the site of Herculaneum by theHerculaneum Conservation Project (HCP), a Packard Humanities Institute initiative in partnership with theSoprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei and the BSR. Many of these activities,planning and implementing conservation work and assessing the needs of an archaeological site and itsrelationship to its surroundings, are at the forefront of best practice.

Over a decade of local and international partnership at Herculaneum has brought clear benefits to thesite. In 2002 Herculaneum was cited as the worst example of archaeological conservation in a non-war-torn country; in 2012 it was cited by UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova as a positive model ‘whosebest practices surely can be replicated in other similar vast archaeological areas across the world’. Specialpraise was given to ‘the efforts being made closely to associate local authorities and communities in the

preservation of the site’. HCP and the Herculaneum Centre now provide capacity development programmesfor heritage practitioners based on the Herculaneum experience; and the advances made in research wereshowcased in the triumphant British Museum exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum,which is expected to draw over a million visitors.

No other British Academy-sponsored institution has ever played so critical and important a role inarchaeological conservation. It has been our privilege as an institution to have been part of this adventure;and we are deeply grateful to Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, Jane Thompson and all the team at Herculaneum,to Maria Paola Guidobaldi, Teresa Cinquantaquattro and all at the Superintendency, and to the PackardHumanities Institute.

The driving force behind HCP has always been the determined and generous engagement of David W.Packard himself. As the project has developed and matured, we have been pleased this year to have beenable to contribute to the next phases. The creation of a new foundation, based in Italy, is an extremelywelcome step forward. BSR will continue to benefit from its association with HCP through publications,and to have a scientific role at the site, and we look forward to the continuing development of thisremarkable site.

Architecture (Marina Engel)

Despite the Mayor of Rome’s appeal to the citizens of Rome to stay at home in anticipation of a cyclone,Bijoy Jain opened the show Praxis with a lecture to a packed audience in October. We invited Jain and hispractice Studio Mumbai to take part in the programme Urban Landscapes-Indian Case Studies to show howpractising architects like Studio Mumbai are very much influenced and inspired by the informal urbanismaround them. In both the lecture and the exhibition, Jain concentrated on the unique working method ofthe practice, a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work

directly through a process of collective dialogue and face-to-face sharing of knowledge. The exhibitiondesign — about a thousand images of studies, drawings, photos and films — aimed to transport thespectator into the working environment of the practice. Public attendance and press coverage wereexcellent and prompted articles in the leading international architectural journals. Apart from the VeniceBiennale, this was Studio Mumbai’s first appearance in Italy.

In November, in the lecture ‘Indian kiss’, Franco La Cecla, anthropologist and urbanist, presented hislatest research on the relationship between Bollywood, popular culture and the city of Mumbai. Ourprogramme set out to stress the multi-disciplinary nature of urbanism and architecture and also includedan analysis of Indian society in the twenty-first century by the writer and former Italian Ambassador toIndia and Nepal, Antonio Armellini.

The programme concluded with Rahul Mehrotra, Professor of Urban Design and Planning at HarvardUniversity Graduate School of Design and Chairman of the Department. Mehrotra is also a practisingarchitect in Mumbai and he gave a spectacular lecture, addressing a packed and mesmerised audience. Hepresented entirely new research focussing on what he calls the kinetic city, which deals with theinteraction between formal and informal urbanism. He also provided practical ideas for new forms ofarchitecture and urban planning illustrated by some of his own projects. The exhibition The Kinetic Citywas displayed in a way that appealed to a wide public made up of different disciplines.

The spring and summer months were spent organising and fundraising for our next programme,Meeting Architecture – Architecture and the Creative Processes, which will commence in October 2013.This will focus on the polymorphous nature of architecture and its relationship to art, music and cinema.This will be the first architecture programme to unite a variety of disciplines and it will take into accountcollaborations between architects and artists, composers, film directors and sociologists. It will also be thefirst programme of lectures, exhibitions and concerts to consider the creative process as well as the workinspired by such collaborations, and it will reflect the multi-disciplinary and innovative nature of the BSR.This is perhaps the most ambitious programme to date, and we shall be working with internationalprotagonists in their respective fields.

We would like to thank our donors and partners who have made this programme possible. Donors: Allford Hall Monaghan Morris; the Cochemé Charitable Trust; the John S. Cohen Foundation; theBryan Guinness Charitable Trust.Partners: American Academy in Rome; Architectural Association, London; Domus; the Embassy of India,Rome; FotoGrafia Festival Internazionale di Roma; Keats-Shelley House; MAXXI Museo nazionale delle artidel XXI secolo.

Fine Arts (Jacopo Benci)

Jacopo Benci has been busy both in the BSR and further afield. He screened and introduced three shortfilms about Rome by Michelangelo Antonioni: N.U. Nettezza Urbana (1948), Roma (1989) and Lo sguardodi Michelangelo (2004), and gave an illustrated talk ‘Ascoltare con gli occhi, attentamente: Antonioni,Ghirri’, as guest lecturer for the Master in Curatorial Studies at Sapienza – Università di Roma. He gave alecture in March entitled ‘From “Dust and Shadow” to “The Laws of Evanescence”’ (on his photographicand video work and its influences), at De Montfort University, Leicester, at the invitation of Senior Lecturer

13



in Photography Lala Meredith-Vula (BSR SargantFellow 2000–1). After his lecture, he participated asguest critic in a review of works by De MontfortUniversity MA Photography students.

On 4 May Laure Prouvost’s exhibition as winner ofthe 2012 Max Mara Prize for Women Artists openedat the Maramotti Collection in Reggio Emilia withthe participation of Iwona Blazwick, Director ofWhitechapel Gallery. Laure was Max Mara Residentat the BSR from April to June 2012, and manyelements of her video and mixed-media installationdrew from her time with us. On 3 June, Helen Sear(member of the Faculty of the Fine Arts and AbbeyAwardee in 1992–3) gave a talk on twenty years ofher artistic practice, which provided an opportunityto meet and talk with the resident artists.

This year also saw the establishment of aprogramme of visiting artists’ lectures, organised byMarina Engel, in which the BSR collaborates withlocal institutions to organise talks by leading Britishand Commonwealth artists in connection with theirexhibitions in Rome. This winter, we invited SeanScully to talk about his work and his drawing show at

the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna.Howard Hodgkin had last lectured andexhibited at the BSR in 1992 and on theoccasion of his show at the Gagosian Galleryreturned to discuss his new paintings with theBritish art historian John Paul Stonard.

In another collaboration the MACROmuseum invited the BSR to take part inRitratto di una città 2 – Arte a Roma1960–2001 in which material on theContemporary Arts programme curated byMarina Engel and Cristiana Perrella wasexhibited.

The objectives of the Fine Arts programmecould not be met without the contribution ofseveral people and, in addition to staff, anessential role is played by our interns. Theinternship scheme devised in 2012 with JohnCabot University continued with Clara Giannini,Reshma Narain, and Maria Plateo.

A new collaboration was set up betweenthe BSR and the LUISS (Free InternationalUniversity for Social Studies). The first LUISSintern was Pia Lauro, a freelance curator whoably worked on the publicity and invigilationof the March exhibition, and in June set out torecord video interviews with the Fine Artsaward-holders for uploading onto the Almost Curators website she co-directs.

The internship scheme set up in 2011 with Oxford’s Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art wasreviewed in 2013 to enable an undergraduate student to help with the hang and invigilation of the Marchexhibition; the first intern in this revised scheme was Grace Thompson.

Publications (Dr Gill Clark)

Mille viae ducunt homines saecula Romam (‘a thousand roads lead men forever to Rome’). The pictureon the cover of Rome, Portus and the Mediterranean (Archaeological Monograph 21), edited by SimonKeay, of a section of the Tabula Peutingeriana exemplifies how the BSR’s research interests and strategygo far beyond Rome and even Italy. This volume publishes papers given at a workshop at the BSR inMarch 2008, organised in collaboration with the Society for Libyan Studies and with funding from theBritish Academy. The contributors assess how far Portus, as the maritime port of Imperial Rome from themid-first century AD, was the principal conduit for supplying Rome and the extent to which the commerciallinks that fed Portus were part of a single overarching network or a series of interlinked networks that

Monograph 20), Jaye McKenzie-Clark (Macquarie UniversityGale Scholar 2007–8) presents the far-reaching results of herexamination of the red slip tableware from three regions ofthe ancient city of Pompeii. She maps the manufacture ofthese ceramics and identifies changes in production and useup to the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, revealingdistinct patterns of consumer demands and usage atdifferent levels of Pompeian society. This research helps usto explore and understand the use of goods within the city ofPompeii and throughout the Roman world, and also has thepotential to shed light on patterns of behaviour in modernconsumer societies.

Our second volume of Papers of the British School atRome (vol. 80, 2012), published by Cambridge UniversityPress on our behalf, is available in even more academiclibraries, a more than seven-fold increase on 2010. This is thefirst volume to be edited by Mark Bradley, and containspapers on a broad range of subjects, including Rome’searliest circuit walls, thirteenth-century seigniorialinstitutions and officials of the Guidi counts, paintings in themedieval apse of San Sisto Vecchio in Rome, renditions ofhistory and antiquity in the late Renaissance, and a study ofa hundred years of Roman history (its historiography andintellectual culture).

We cannot end without expressing our enormous thanksto Bryan Ward-Perkins, who stood down as a member of theBSR’s Council and Chair of Publications at the end ofDecember. Over the past years he has ensured an excellentand active publications programme — with significantincreases in the reach and impact of the results of BSRresearch and events — , as well as being a source ofinvaluable advice to the BSR more generally.

Continuing the Change

The BSR is doing more to support our residents than ever before. The steady improvements in every cornerof the building, the maintenance of the rooms and gardens, the gradual rise in levels of support, and theconcentration on the highest levels of service across the BSR are part of a collective recognition that the

16



support of individuals, trusts and foundations in sustaining our scholarships needs to be met by adetermination to make the BSR the very best it can be as a home for independent scholarship, creativityand intellectual exchange.

In the coming year, this will be one of our key strategic goals. We believe that what best gives unity tothe BSR’s mission is a focus on our role as a well-connected, highly respected and efficient researchinfrastructure. We support the best researchers and practitioners in bringing their work to the BSR, and wehelp to make their time here as productive as it can possibly be.

This commitment comes from our mission and is rooted in our traditions, but leads to endlessly excitingand contemporary work — from the latest archaeological techniques to original programmes of researchand cutting edge research practice. We can be proud of the achievements of our award-holders; ourchallenge is to create an environment in which their work is supported, fostered and developed.

A Sustainable Residence for our Second Century

Part of our goals relates to the building in which we live and work. The BSR is much loved, but also muchin need of some attention. When we decided to look hard at what needed to be done, we agreed to beambitious and to take on all the challenges that have been only partially addressed in the past. Many arebasic, and some are very costly, but the goal is clear. We want to leave future generations with a buildingthat is less expensive to run, but more comfortable to live in; that is safer and that can support ouractivities. The plans we have drawn up include controlling humidity in the older Library basement and theGallery, and ensuring that rooms are not plagued by draughts; reducing energy use, and producing energyourselves. We are highly respectful of the wonderful building we enjoy — including the superb newfacilities which I inherited from my predecessor — and it is by making the most of what we have that webest show that respect.

The Sustainable Building Project will cost around two million pounds. This is a huge challenge for asmall organisation, in difficult times, but we have reasons to be confident. The planning was managed byStudio Garofalo Miura, who have been with us as architects and friends for over twenty years. ARUP haveonce again been our service engineers, and we have come to know an outstanding firm of architects inRome, Studio Amati. Eric Parry and Michael Higgin have followed the project from London. Thecommitment of staff at BSR, especially Fulvio Astolfi, has been immense. We know that the planning wehave done is robust, and we know that this is a project that can deliver an immense benefit to our long-term future.

Delivering the Mission

2012–13 has been a year of change, and the change continues. We are growing as an institution, evenunder the most difficult circumstances. This past year has been one in which we have continued to preparefor our next great challenge. In 2016, the BSR residence will have been open for a century; we look forwardto celebrating being a community that is stronger, more creative, and more focused on what we do bestthan ever before.

2012–13 has been an exciting and challenging academic year for our award-holders. We continue to bedelighted at the range of topics and activities that bring our award-holders together and open freshperspectives for them. Some of the most rewarding work has been carried out in smaller settings, like theseminar ‘The art of making and the making of art’ organised by Hugh Last Fellow Susan Walker. Focusingon the role of materials used by artists and craftsmen both today and in the past, the seminar broughttogether scholars and artists, and facilitated a rich and extremely informative cross-disciplinarydiscussion, with award-holders commenting on what an extraordinary experience it had been to offertheir work to the scrutiny of others from distinctly different fields and artistic practices. The seminarincluded a visit to the Roman domus and museum on the Caelian Hill, where some of the materialsdiscussed could be viewed.

We have been exceptionally fortunate this year with many former award-holders returning to Rome todeliver lectures and conferences, such as the ‘Fuel and Fire in the Ancient Roman World’ conference inMarch 2013 organised by Robyn Veal (Ralegh Radford Rome Fellow 2011–12) and Victoria Leitch (RomeScholar 2010–11) in partnership with the Finnish Institute in Rome and the Oxford Roman Economy Project,and supported by the Geoffrey Rickman Memorial Fund. Anita Sganzerla (Rome Scholar 2011–12) returnedto Rome to organise an international study day on ‘I pittori del dissenso. Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione –Andrea de Leone – Pier Francesco Mola – Pietro Testa – Salvator Rosa’, which took place just down theroad from the BSR in the Austrian Historical Institute in May 2013.

BSR staff and award-holders have become a permanent feature in the international media, withCatherine Fletcher (Rome Fellow 2009–10) appearing on Radio Four’s In Our Time to talk to Melvyn Braggand to art historian Evelyn Welch about the myths and realities of the Borgia papacies; and with SimonMartin (BSR Research Fellow and Rome Scholar 2006–7) in The Guardian and on BBC World Service SportsHour, discussing the uneasy relationship between football and fascism in Italy. Simon has also beenawarded the Lord Aberdare Literary Prize for his book Sport Italia: the Italian Love Affair with Sport. On 2September 2012, the Director Christopher Smith, Librarian Valerie Scott and Lisa Beaven (Rome Awardee2001–2) featured on Australian radio on ABC’s Future Tense show to talk about the Mapping the CampagnaRomana Over Time project presenting rare seventeenth-century maps from the BSR Archive.

The work of the BSR was also featured in a BBC documentary on Portus, in a BBC series on Romanreligion, featuring PBSR editor Mark Bradley, and in the exhibition, Life and Death in Pompeii andHerculaneum, curated by Paul Roberts (Rivoira Scholar 1989–90).

TA U G H T CO U R S E S (Dr Robert Coates-Stephens)

The BSR’s extensive resources and long-standing expertise with the ancient and modern city (typifiedespecially by our close relationship with Rome’s archaeological administration and scholarly community)enable us to offer our course participants unparalleled access to museums, monuments and excavations,and this is reflected by the frequent stress in the students’ course assessments on the ‘opportunity’,‘experience’, ‘enrichment’ and ‘inspiration’ they have obtained from both programmes.

SUPPORT FOR THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (Dr Joanna Kostylo)


The Summer School givesundergraduates an intensiveintroduction to the city of Romeand its surroundings. A thematicapproach is adopted, each day’sitinerary is introduced with anevening lecture, and the visitsintegrate the monuments withmuseum collections and tours ofthe latest excavations. In 2012,23 students from ten univer -sities attended. The virtues ofthe method were singled out forparticular praise by the participants, with one commenting: ‘The thematic approach was undoubtedly thebest way to view all the necessary sites… I think I now have a better understanding of how Rome fittedtogether conceptually’.

In 2012, the Summer School received financial support from the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies,the Craven Committee of the Faculty of Classics, Oxford University, the Faculty of Classics at the Universityof Cambridge and the Gladstone Memorial Trust. The 2013 City of Rome course was generously supported bythe Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies.

Students continuing their studies often apply to return to Rome for the City of Rome postgraduatecourse. Adopting a more gradual, topographical approach, over two months it provides the most thoroughtreatment of the ancient city — from its origins to the post-classical period — offered at any academicinstitution in Rome. One half is devoted to site visits, supplemented by fifteen hours of lectures andseminars by distinguished guest speakers, with the other reserved for individual study supervised by thecourse director.

In 2013, ten students attended, four previously attended a summer school. This year’s intake proved oneof the most enthusiastic of recent years, and was especially impressed by the range of the itineraries,which included unprecedented access to the Republican baths of Via Sistina, the fourth-century Christianoratory beneath the Lateran hospital, the generally closed cabinets of the Masks and the Busts at theVatican, the houses beneath the gardens of the presidential palace on the Quirinal, and the BSRexcavations of the Palazzo Imperiale at Portus. One commented: ‘the breadth and depth of informationgiven at each site was hugely helpful to my university degree, but above all it was simply fascinating tolearn so much about such a wonderful city. I could barely believe the number of sites we managed to visit— especially those that aren’t open to the public, some of which I didn’t even know existed’. Anotherconcluded: ‘the City of Rome course has been an incredible experience… It has been a great step up fromthe undergraduate Summer School, and I hope to return again one day… Thank you for the opportunity,and for making us feel so welcome. (I have no suggestions — the course was perfect!)’.

The work produced by the students over the past few years has been of exceptional quality, and manyhave gone on to publish research papers written during the course. Since half of 2013’s intake is going onto doctoral study we may hope that this trend continues.

Activities for 2012–13 started in September, with Australia Council Resident Rebecca Ross’s soloexhibition In the World, comprised of works she created during her July to September residency.

October began — as each term — with short presentations by the new award-holders, includingDerek Hill Foundation Scholar Anne-Marie Creamer, whose project revolved around the film LuigiPirandello tried to draw from his play Six Characters in Search of an Author, which premiered at TeatroValle in Rome in 1921. This prompted a group visit to the Valle, occupied since 2011; Anne-Marie metthe Valle activists who embraced her project and allowed her to photograph and shoot footage in thetheatre. A visit took place later in October to the Centrale Montemartini in Ostiense on the occasion ofthe exhibition Sixty Years of Fashion Made in Italy, which presented a hundred historic garments byleading Italian fashion houses alongside the Roman sculptures of the Capitoline Museum collection.

In November, a day trip was organised to the historic centre of L’Aquila, destroyed by the earthquake of6 April 2009. BSR residents were shown around the city by former Fine Arts intern Martina Sconci,currently Curator at L’Aquila’s Experimental Museum of Contemporary Art (MUSPAC), and Enrico Sconci,Professor at L’Aquila’s Academy of Fine Arts and Director of MUSPAC.

December brought a walk around EUR involving visits to Libera’s Palazzo dei Congressi and Minnucci’sPalazzo degli Uffici. The first Fine Arts group show of the year, I Have Lived, opened on 14 December. Ascustomary, the visitors included scholars of the other foreign academies, as well as Rome artists, critics,collectors and dealers.

Two visits to Giovan Battista Piranesi’s church of Santa Maria del Priorato took place in January andFebruary 2013. This year, Piranesi was dealt with in different ways by all three resident architects: ThomasBrigden, Natacha Boucher and Tao Sule-DuFour.

The second Fine Arts exhibition, entitled Ides of March, opened on 15 March. The events with SeanScully and Howard Hodgkin brought a wider public to the residents’ exhibition.

Yasmin Fedda’s film Breadmakers was included by Donatella Zanchi, a doctoral candidate incuratorial studies, in the exhibition Voci di arte contemporanea a Roma that she co-curated at Sapienza– Università di Roma’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MLAC); Yasmin was also invited by young curatorEmanuele Meschini to screen Breadmakers and her Rome film Siamo tornati at Upper Lab, an artist-runspace in Bergamo.

In April a trip took place to Niki de Saint Phalle’s folly, the Tarot Garden, at Garavicchio in southernTuscany; a few days later, a group visited the Cinecittà film studios. April also brought an exhibition and alecture, both entitled The Material of Colour, by Helen Baker, Professor of Fine Art at NorthumbriaUniversity (and BSR Abbey Fellow 2006–7).

With the help of the British Council, the Fine Arts award-holders were invited to attend the presspreview of the Venice Biennale. They travelled to Venice on 28 May and were able to enjoy the buzz of theinternational première, the national pavilion openings and parties. The final Fine Arts exhibition, Please BeQuiet, opened on 14 June. BSR award-holders Anne-Marie Creamer, John Di Stefano, Todd Fuller, LiangXia Luscombe and Tao Sule-DuFour also took part in the 2013 edition of Spazi Aperti, the internationalexhibition at the Romanian Academy, which opened on 13 June.

Artist testimonialI came to the BSR with a clearintention. To research a documentaryfilm about a migrant boat trip that wenthorribly wrong. The boat left Libya inMarch 2011 and was heading to Italy,with 72 desperate migrants on board.Out of fuel, food and water, the boatdrifted for fifteen days in one of thebusiest shipping lanes in the world.Only nine people survived the ordeal.My intention was to track down eachof the survivors, and to explore ourconfused and conflicted attitudestowards migrants.

Being relocated into the wonderful environment of the BSR presented a real opportunity. Timeto think, focus and create. But one of the unfortunate realities of travel is that we send our bodyoverseas, but our conscious ‘selves’, our personalities, can often come too. Perhaps successfultravel is the temporary triumph of our better qualities, like inquisitiveness and a willingness tofully engage with our surroundings. A residency provides an opportunity to do exactly this. Timeto explore new thoughts and ideas and push oneself into new areas.

At times of self-doubt I try to remember the words of one of my teachers at secondary school,who wrote in my final report, ‘Flippant, but will go far’. Years later in the British School at Rome,I was immersed in reports of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean in perilous seacrossings. Reports of shipwrecks and drownings — realities faced by people willing to riskanything for a better life.

Support for the Library and Archive manifests itself in many ways and involves many people. We wouldlike to thank them all this year. The Library membership scheme provides approximately twenty per cent ofthe acquisitions budget, and nearly 300 new members have enrolled over the past year. With an averageof 26 readers per day, excluding BSR award-holders, residents and staff, the Library is always busy. Manyex-scholars, fellows and visitors to the BSR also contribute to our collections by sending us copies of theirpublications, off-prints of articles, or exhibition catalogues in the case of our fine arts award-holders,which ensures that the Library holds a record of the highest quality research and artistic practice carriedout at the BSR. We are grateful to all our award-holders for this contribution to ‘their’ Library.

Over the past twenty years, since the founding of the URBS network, many institutions and individualshave contributed to the retrospective conversion of our catalogue. Thanks to the two latest gifts, fromAnne and Peter Wiseman and from Rosamond McKitterick, this project will at last be completed this yearand the whole of the Library’s collection will be available on-line at www.web.reteurbs.org.

The conservation of our Rare Books Collection also relies entirely on outside funding, and thanks to a verygenerous gift from John and Ginnie Murray via the John Murray Charitable Foundation, the project to refurbishall 3,000 volumes in the collection is now complete. Many individuals have also contributed over the years andwe would like to thank Barbara Clark, and the friends of the late Ruth Arnaud who funded the completerestoration of a very important eighteenth-century volume in memory of their friend. The book by Pietro SantiBartoli, Picturae antiquae cryptarum romanarum et sepulcri Nasonum (Rome 1750), was in very bad conditionbut has been fully restored with a handsome new dark-green leather binding by our conservator LuiginaAntonazzo. Two exhibitions of books and drawings from the Library and Archive were organised to accompanytwo BSR events: the workshop held in December 2012, ‘Rome Under the Bombs: the City, its Monuments andthe Civilian Population in the Second World War’ and a display of travellers’ writings from the Rare Books

Collection on the occasionof the two-day ‘TorinoBritannica’ confe rence inJune 2013.

On 29 September 2012,the exhibition of photo -graphs of Abruzzo byThomas Ashby, seen by40,000 visitors as it touredthe region, was donatedto the city of L’Aquila byChristopher Prentice, HMAmbassador to Italy at aceremony in the Basilicaof Collemaggio. The deva -stating effects of theearthquake at 2009 arestill evident, and it ishoped that the exhibitionwill find a permanentvenue in a newly-restored

palazzo. The occasion also included the prize-giving by the Ambassador to the winner of aninternational photography competition, ‘In theFootsteps of Thomas Ashby in the AbruzzoProvince of L’Aquila, Places and People 2012’,sponsored by the English School of L’Aquilaand open to young photographers. We mustthank all our Italian friends and colleagueswho supported this venture, in particularIvano Villani and Ad.Venture srl.

Alessandra Giovenco, our Archivist, isnow regularly invited to give presentations ofour work in the Archives and particularly onour digital collections website. This year shespoke at a conference in Rome, organised bythe Soprintendenza per il Patrimonio Storico,Artistico ed Etnoantroplogico and the IstitutoCentrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione, on ‘Immagini e memoria: gli archivi fotografici di istituzioniculturali della città di Roma’ and at a follow-up workshop relating to this event that was hosted by the BSRin February 2013. Alessandra was also invited to present a paper on the BSR’s collection of photographsby John Henry Parker by the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art in Paris in June. A week previously, thefirst 300 of 800 photographs from the BSR’s Parker collection were added to the digital collections website.Here we must thank Peter Brown, long-time friend of the Library, and Jim Ball for funding the digitizationof the photographs.

In collaboration with another Italian friend, Giuseppe Ceraudo, Università del Salento, Lecce, anexhibition (with accompanying catalogue) of photographs from the unpublished collection of RobertGardner in the BSR Archive, Lungo l’Appia e la Traiana: le fotografie di Robert Gardner in viaggio conThomas Ashby nel territorio di Beneventum agli inizi del Novecento (BSR Archive series 10), opened inBenevento in the cloisters of the Chiesa di Santa Sofia in October 2012. The cover of the catalogue, withthe magnificent image of Trajan’s Arch in Benevento and extraordinary maintenance work on the electricitylines before health and safety legislation was invented, is illustrated here. The thirty photographspublished in the catalogue are now on the website, together with twenty images of the archaeological siteat Peltuinum in Abruzzo that the Camerone team has worked on.

Funding has been secured for a pilot project to prepare a major research proposal to study and reunitevirtually all material relating to the life and work of John Marshall and Edward Perry Warren. The three-month preparatory research will result in a proposal for this international and multi-institutional project.Guido Petruccioli has been selected for the three-month Research Fellowship to study the Marshall archiveand prepare a proposal and we are extremely grateful to Christian Levett for this generous funding.

Collaboration and the exchange of experiences and ideas are ever more crucial in this difficult financialclimate and it was a great pleasure to visit our sister institution, the British School at Athens, in October 2012.With the Librarian, Penny Wilson, and her colleagues we discussed concerns that we have in common, as wellas identifying areas in which we might co-operate through joint research projects based on our collections.Thanks are due to the Director, Cathy Morgan, and all her colleagues for the very warm welcome I received.

We have now completed two years of professional fundraising, and the BSR is enjoying unprecedentedlevels of support from individuals and organisations around the globe. The membership communitycontinues to expand, and we are seeing significant grants directed toward specific areas of theinstitution.

Our alumni participation is twice that of the UK’s national average for universities, and the telephonesurvey of former award-holders that we conducted in 2012, albeit a sample, demonstrated extremely highlevels of satisfaction. Eighty per cent of alumni contacted said that they were still in the same careerfield, and that the BSR had had a strong impact on their career path after leaving Rome. Perhaps moreimportantly, over ninety per cent said that they were still in contact with fellow award-holders on aprofessional level; sixty-five per cent still maintain personal contact. This small snapshot into the BSRcommunity testifies to the strength of personal connections, most of which last for decades.

Council members, members of the faculties, award-holders and countless volunteers have helped ussecure significant grants this year, and to them we are extremely grateful, as we are to those whocontributed financially. The Ashby Society continues to grow, and remains one of the most important‘micro-communities’, as these generous donors are not only providing critically important unrestrictedfunds, but also continue to help us branch out and secure major sources of support from other individuals,trusts and private companies. Our challenge now is to continue to raise the BSR’s profile in the UK andelsewhere as we look to secure funding for the Sustainable Building Project. Sustainability is an often-

overused word, but it perfectly describes our mission over the next few years. We must continue to buildour annual giving programme, as this philanthropic base of support will sustain the BSR through anuncertain economic horizon, as well as sustain the extraordinary level of research activity we have seenthis year. We must also secure transformative grants that will ensure that the building at via Gramsci 61is both environmentally and economically sustainable.

When we started the BSR institutional development programme in 2011, we shared Arnold Toynbee’squote, ‘Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor’. Our voyage continuesapace, and we hope you will join us.

We are grateful to the following individuals, trusts and organisations who are supporting the work of the BSR:

HU M A N I T I E S A N D F I N E AR T S AWA R D S

Humanities award-holdertestimonialFor a classical archaeologist like me,it is of critical importance to see ourobjects of study in reality rather thanjust in pictures, and to discuss themwith other people. During my threemonths as Hugh Last Fellow at theBSR I had ample opportunity to doboth. The BSR has been enormouslyhelpful with getting permissions tosee sites that are normally closed tothe public, and I had the most fruitfuland memorable conversations withcolleagues who have excavated orstudied these sites for a long time,but also with students of the City ofRome course and other colleagueswho would bring a fresh perspective to them. Dinner conversations with artists, historians and arthistorians, and a wide range of topics for the weekly lectures stimulated all sorts of new ideas. Thanksto the amazing support and working conditions at the BSR I have managed to advance substantially mycurrent project on Roman tombs and burial customs, and explore the potential of a project that I intendto pursue in the suburbium in the future.

This report should be read alongside the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended31 March 2013 available at www.bsr.ac.uk.

GOVERNANCE OF THE BSR

The British School at Rome has a Council and two advisory faculties. Those who serve bring to bearspecific and general skills. Members of Council are trustees of the BSR. The Council’s primary role is tooversee the general management and sustainability of the BSR, and the two faculties advise on humanitiesand fine arts and publications, with a specific responsibility for making awards.

The BSR has robust policies on risk management and has approved a Corporate and Research Strategy,all available at www.bsr.ac.uk. This Annual Review, with its account of the BSR’s objectives, activities andachievements, constitutes our statement of public benefit.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The BSR relies primarily on four sources of regular income: the grant from the British Academy; the incomefrom its own reserves; the income from trusts, foundations and individuals, generously given for specificpurposes especially in terms of scholarships; and the income from the residence. In addition we arefortunate to receive money from the Packard Humanities Institute to support extending Library opening tothe public. Furthermore we have sought other forms of income from, and been supported in other ways by,a variety of charitable trusts and foundations who are acknowledged on our website.

Income and expenditure in 2012–13

Strong performance in fundraising and continued pressure on costs have led to a positive outcome for theyear to 31 March 2013. This included some provision for transitional staffing arrangements, and weacknowledge support from the British Academy. We have maintained the position developed since 2009 toensure that the BSR is at least achieving a balanced outcome net of Herculaneum Conservation Projectincome. The strength of the balance-sheet also reflects the success of our decision to build our resourcesfor the substantial costs required to achieve a firm estimate for the Sustainable Building Project. Thesecosts will fall in 2013–14 but are entirely covered by the surplus from the year under review.

We were fortunate to see a new source of charitable income for archaeology; this is an area underconsiderable pressure. The BSR has invested in equipment and staff from its own resources in 2012–13.

We have succeeded in maintaining our regular maintenance programme, and included within it somesmall interventions recommended in an earlier report from ARUP as part of the Sustainable BuildingProject. We also have continued to manage our IT software and hardware to maximise efficiency. Enteringa new shared financial service arrangement with the British Academy is part of this evolution, but all ofour administrative systems will need to be continually tested for value for money.

Financial results

The surplus of income compared with expenditure on unrestricted activities in the year ended 31 March2013 was £205,000, before transfers of £83,000 to unrestricted funds of income originally received asrestricted income that has now become available to the BSR to use for its general objectives, and beforenet gains of £220,000 arising on the investment portfolio.

As at 31 March 2013, the BSR’s unrestricted funds amounted to £3,116,000. These funds include designatedfunds of £2,070,000 set aside by Council for research and scholarship grants and also include the value

FI N A N C I A L RE P O R T (Michael Higgin and Professor Christopher Smith)


(£500,000) ascribed to theLibrary of books, papers,manuscripts and pictures —many of which are con -sidered irreplaceable.

The funds also include un -real ised revaluation surp luseson the unrestricted portion ofBSR’s investment portfolio.Council’s policy is that the levelof general funds, after elim in -at ing unrea lised surpluses andexcluding all designated andrestricted funds, should not fallbelow three nor exceed twelvemonths’ core running costs ofthe BSR.

The BSR’s investments, excluding cash held on deposit, were valued at £2,365,000 at 31 March 2013.The investment portfolio is managed by external advisers, whose performance is reviewed annually byCouncil. During the year 2012–13 the unrealised gains were £241,000 and realised losses were £3,000.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

As indicated in this report (p. 11), 2013–14 will be the last year in which the BSR will report income fromthe Herculaneum Conservation Project under the current arrangements. Furthermore, we have seen littlenew grant money, which reflects in part the reduction in academic staff and in part the difficult researchenvironment in the UK. This places particular pressure on our ability to sustain an active archaeologicalprogramme, and in research terms this is now the major challenge.

The Sustainable Building Project is a necessary step in the delivery of an estate master plan, and alsoin the management of our costs. In 2013–14, the BSR will seek major capital funding on the back of firmcostings, to permit us to move forward with this vital work.

We believe that we have taken the necessary steps to reshape the staffing structure of the BSR (supportstaff salary costs have reduced by 8% from 2011–12), and that further cuts would now set us back. Achallenge for the coming years is to continue to work on developing the capacities of existing staff and tomake the most of the people who do so much to keep the BSR moving forwards.

However, we have to be conscious of continuing macro-economic pressures. We have worked extremelyhard to fill the gap left by the year-on-year reduction in real terms of government funding by the BritishAcademy, and taken steps to identify how we would respond to further diminution of that support.

The BSR is now highly reliant on the funds it is raising from supporters and Members, and from theactivities of our Council, and we are very aware that we need to continue to develop our independentfinancial capacity. Council has recognised the necessity to protect as much as possible the long-termresource base of the BSR, which is our building and the Library, whilst continuing to support outstandingintellectual endeavour across the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences in an environment thatis open and non-prescriptive.

Our long-term belief is that the intrinsic values of the arts, humanities and social sciences at the BSRrepresent a unique strength, and we will continue to seek to demonstrate that our financial activity fullysupports research excellence.
