Palaeovegetational reconstruction of the Krios valley, northern Achaea (Greece): archaeobotanical analysis conducted as part of the Aegialia Survey Project

Since 2001 the Aegialia Survey Project (A.S.P.) has sought to reconstruct the dynamics of human occupation in Aegialia, northern Achaea (Greece). In doing so it has followed a multidisciplinary approach, with the involvement of various skills and institutions.Depuis 2001, l’Aegialia Survey Projet (ASP) a cherché à reconstruire la dynamique de l'occupation humaine dans la région de Aegialia, dans le nord Achaïe (Grèce). Ce faisant, on a suivi une approche multidisciplinaire, avec la participation de diverses compétences et institutions. La recherche dans la vallée de Krios impliquait aussi la reconnaissance et l'enregistrement de la flore actuelle dans la région

Paestum dietary habits during the Imperial period: archaeological records and stable isotope measurement

In historical contexts, analyses of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes can be useful to answer different question on dietary behavior and to crosscheck information, drawn from texts and classical archaeological investigations. In this study the Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) facility installed at the IRMS-SUN Laboratory of the Second University of Naples is presented. Moreover, results coming from application of stable isotope analyses to bone collagen extracted from human remains of the necropolis of "Porta Sirena" in Paestum will be discussed. Finally, a combined analyses of archaeological and historical record and stable isotope measurements permits to expand our knowledge on diet in Roman Paestum.</p

Arpi. Formes et modes de vie d’une cité italiote (IVe-IIe siècle av. n.è.)

Le texte de ces Chroniques présente la troisième et dernière étape préliminaire du programme de recherches sur Arpi : formes et modes de vie d’une cité italiote, qui a débuté en 2014 et vise à produire une synthèse sur les formes de l’habitat d’époque hellénistique. La double particularité du projet se reflète dans la composition de cette contribution : il prend appui, d’une part, sur l’étude topographique, stratigraphique et matérielle, des données de fouilles anciennes conduites sous la responsabilité de la Surintendance entre le début de la seconde guerre mondiale et la fin des années 1990, d’autre part sur la mise à jour des découvertes dans une base géoréférencée, sur une enquête d’archéologie des paysages, avec une approche archéomorphologique, géomorphologique et géophysique, et sur des prospections pédestres. La recontextualisation qui en résulte n’est possible que grâce à la complémentarité des expériences et des compétences réunies par la Surintendance des Pouilles, puis de Foggia, du Centre Jean Bérard et de l’Université de Salerne. Elle a été conduite à plusieurs échelles, de la maison au territoire, pour mieux définir les contraintes, les ressources et l’évolution du paysage au sein duquel s’est développé ce phénomène urbain de très grande envergure et encore difficile à cerner sur l’ensemble de l’espace limité par l’agger

Un sistema informativo archeologico: l'applicazione del Syslat a Fratte di Salerno

Some years ago, the chair of Archaeology of the University of Salerno, in cooperation with the Soprintendenza Archeologica and the Amministrazione Provinciale, began a methodical research program on the ancient settlement of Fratte. This settlement is situated on the hill of Scigliato, in the north-eastern part of Salerno on the Irno River, at the confluence of the Pastorano and Grancano streams. Since 1985 the archaeological area - partly rediscovered in the 50’s and immediately expropriated, enclosed and set aside as a park - has been the subject of a new systematic research project aimed at defining the chronology and the town-plan and understanding the monuments and their functions. Thanks to new scientific knowledge, since 1995 the research project, which is still in progress, has defined two principal aims. Firstly, strictly scientific, to acquire and organise as much information as possible in order to reconstruct the geo-morphological dynamics and human activity involving the entire territorial context of the ancient settlement. Secondly, to develop the archaeological park, which is considered a key element for the improvement of the neighbouring urban areas. As the information about the scientific methods and documentary records from the beginning of this century until now was not homogeneous, it was necessary to plan a new strategy for the management and systematic organisation of all the records that would guarantee consistent documentation. For this purpose we suggest using Syslat, which was created specifically for the recording of archaeological data, as the most reliable system for guaranteeing a standard of consistent documentation, description and global analysis of all records (e.g. Stratigraphic Units, map-making, photos, reports, etc.). This can also be used for the organisation and handling of all information which emerges during research projects using statistic and quantitative methods. Moreover, the possibility of connecting individual data-bases for different sites will make it possible to project each dossier on the largest scale, i.e., on a “regional” level. This information system, which has been tested since 1983 at the proto-historic site of Lattes (Herault, France) by a team of researchers from CNRS (M. Py, M. Bats, J.L. Fiches) was adopted by the Laboratorio di Archeologia using the earliest versions in order to test its effectiveness and to optimise the results. Continuous exchange of ideas and comparison of results between the French team, the “Centre J. Bérard” and the Istituto Orientale of Naples have allowed us to elaborate a “personal” application, which is specifically suited to the theoretical organisation and to the specific and complex requirements of archaeological research in Fratte

Abellinum, ricerche e studi sull’antico centro dell’Irpinia. Un quadro di sintesi per nuove prospettive di ricerca.

This paper aims to make a reasoned summary of the data collected during decades of research in Irpinia and to launch new research perspectives starting from the results of the Abellinum. Piano per la conoscenza, la tutela e la valorizzazione dell’antico centro irpino project, which is an example of fruitful cooperation between different institutions. The territory analysed corresponds to the western part of the Irpinian region and includes the upper and middle valley of the Sabato river. A synthesis and preliminary re-reading of previous studies provides a solid starting point, which is implemented with new emerged data. This research has allowed us to refine the dynamics of rural and urban structuring and settlement between the Republican age and Late Antiquity

Salerno, Fratte loc.

L’insediamento antico di Fratte sorge alla periferia settentrionale della città di Salerno su una bassa collina pianeggiante che corrisponde al toponimo di Scigliato (fig. 51.3). L’area è parte di un più vasto insediamento collocato in posizione dominante alla confluenza del fiume Irno con i torrenti Pastorano e Grancano (fig. 52). I primi indizi della presenza di un insediamento antico nella zona di Fratte risalgono agli inizi dell’Ottocento. Più di un secolo dopo, tra il 1927 e il 1929, A. ..
