Santa Cristina in Caio a Buonconvento (Siena): un bilancio interpretativo dopo la sesta campagna di scavo

Abstract

This text is the synthesis of the first six years of excavation (2009-2014) on the site of Santa Cristina: in addition to the evidence of excavation we try to contextualize the material culture within the trading system of Tuscany, lines of penetration from the coast to the inlands of the goods through the streets and river routes. In this context acquires particular importance the role of the river Ombrone, which is certainly a factor of economic development of the settlement of Santa Cristina in Caio. A further subject matter within the text is that of the reuse of the thermal implant, completely re-calibrated on the basis of weighted averages of individual finds
