Monte Cimino: abitato fortificato e centro cerimoniale di sommitĂ nell'Etruria protostorica alle soglie della svolta protourbana
Il contributo illustra le evidenze strutturali emerse nelle ultime campagne di scavo sul Monte Cimino. Le fortificazioni e l'area di culto rintracciate sono correlate alla funzione sacrale e politica dell'insediamento nell'ambito dell'organizzazione territoriale dell?Etruria Meridionale nel Bronzo Finale, immediatamente prima della svolta protourbana.The paper presents the results of recent excavations in the area of worship and fortified settlemernt of Monte Cimino (Soriano nel Cimino - Viterbo). The structural evidence are described and are related with the evidence territorial Final Bronze Age in southern Etruria. In relation to the dominant position and the important evidence and cultual structures of fortification the settlement assumed a political - sacral in the territorial organization of the Late Bronze Age, immediatly before the "proto-urban revolution" in Southern Etruria
L\u2019introduzione del rito incineratorio in Etruria meridionale: la necropoli dell\u2019et\ue0 del Bronzo Recente di Lucus Feroniae
La diffusa convinzione, pur nella totale assenza delle fonti, che il rito incineratorio venisse adottato in Etruria meridionale gi\ue0 nel corso del Bronzo recente, si basava sostanzialmente sulle evidenze del Latium vetus, la necropoli di Cavallo Morto ad Anzio e delle Marche, il piccolo gruppo di tombe recentemente rinvenuto in localit\ue0 Ajole di Sotto di Esanatoglia (Macerata). Ma se l\u2019intensa attivit\ue0 di trasformazione antropica cui \ue8 stata soggetta la nostra regione negli ultimi 20 anni ha portato al rinvenimento di diversi nuovi contesti databili al Bronzo recente,
l\u2019assenza di documentazione funeraria ha continuato a caratterizzare il periodo, quantomeno testimoniando il fatto che la deposizione
delle ceneri con corredo in luoghi formalizzati non era certo consuetudine diffusa come in altre regioni italiane. Si presentano qui i risultati delle analisi archeologiche e bioarcheologiche
Progetti di ricerca per la tutela del paesaggio antico della costa di Tarquinia
Nel presente contributo si dà notizia di un recente Progetto di Ateneo della Sapienza di Roma (finanziato 2016) in corso d’opera che l’Università porta avanti in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza SAPAB-RM-MET, l’Università di Siena e l’ISPRA, e che ha per oggetto la costa di Tarquinia in epoca medievale: nello specifico si analizza la stretta relazione in chiave archeogeografica tra entroterra e porto di Corneto, uno degli scali tirrenici più importanti nel medioevo

In vetta all'Etruria prima degli Etruschi. Testimonianze dell'etĂ del bronzo sul Monte Cimino (Soriano nel Cimino, VT)
Il contributo illustra i risultati preliminari dei primi scavi effettuati sulla sommitĂ del Monte Cimino in Etruria Meridionale. Le evidenze messe in luce sono relative a cinte di fortificazione dell'etĂ del bronzo finale e di etĂ etrusca e ad un luogo di culto del Bronzo finale.The Monte Cimino is the highest peak in southern Etruria. At the end of the nineteenth century on the summit of the mountain there was a settlement located inside an imposing stone walls. Some surface researches, carried out in the 1970s and 1980s of the twentieth century, allowed to collect many finds attributed to the Late Bronze Age and specify the extension and articulation of the site.
The excavations carried out in collaboration between the SBAEM and University “La Sapienza” of Rome (Chair of European Late Prehistory) between 2009 and 2010 have confirmed that during the Late Bronze Age the settlement was organized in a vaster plateau on the base and in an acropolis on the top within which a further articulation was visible near the summit. The settlement, whose length exceeds 5 hectares, has defended by imposing fences made of artificial
stone attested in the plain base (Sector 4) and in the acropolis (Sector 2). The presence of artefacts belonging to the RBA, the MBA1-2, and perhaps even to ABA, indicating that there was also an older frequentation of which however is not currently ascertainable the duration, consistency and meaning. After the end of the Late Bronze Age phase, the site was abandoned and later involved in many occupations during the archaic and late Etruscan ages. The dominant position of the settlement is one of the most significant aspects and gives to the complex a strategic and perhaps a political importance, within a complicate territorial organization, testified in the Late Bronze Age in southern Etruria by a significant amount of contemporary villages. In this sense, are also significant the structural evidences and features of the archeological deposit on the summit (Sector 1), probably related to cultural activities as consequence of the dominant position of the place
Straight-tusked elephants in the Middle Pleistocene of northern Latium: Preliminary report on the Ficoncella site (Tarquinia, central Italy)
This article presents the preliminary results of research recently performed at La Ficoncella (Northern Latium) site. Discovered during the 1990s, the site of La Ficoncella has been inserted in recent years into a research program promoted by the fruitful collaboration between the Museum of Allumiere, Soprintendenza, the University of Rome "La Sapienza", and CNR. The La Ficoncella site, still only at the beginning of excavation activities, has yielded various skeletal remains of Palaeoloxodon and a few other anatomical elements of other species, such as Bos primigenius and Equus sp., in association with four stone artefacts. The stratigraphic unit, still under study, contains fauna and lithic remains which could be dated to MIS 13, thanks to the presence of an ignimbritic layer at the top of the sequence, dating to MIS 12 (terminus ante quem). According to this data, the La Ficoncella site can be considered as an important source of information about the dynamics of human population and the techno-economic relationship between humans and elephants during the early Middle Pleistocene in central Italy.
