Late prehistoric occupation along the Murgia plateau edge
The Alta Murgia Archaeological Project investigates pre- and protohistoric settlement dynamics along the southern edge of the Murge plateau (south-eastern Italy). Surveys conducted between 2023 and 2024 revealed intensive exploitation of ecosystems at the interface between the lowlands and the plateau, and highlighted significant shifts in settlement patterns.

Obsidian at the Maddalena di Muccia (Marche, Central Italy) Archaeological Site
This paper presents the compositional characterisation of obsidian artefacts from the archaeological site of Maddalena di Muccia (Marche, Central Italy). The assemblage, spanning the Early Neolithic to the Copper Age, was chemically and petrographically investigated using two non-destructive X-ray analytical instruments: a wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectrometer and a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrom…

The Use-Life of Ancestors
When archaeologists discuss ‘ancestor cults’ or ‘ancestor veneration’, what this might entail in practice usually remains vague, leading to charges that the concept of ‘ancestors’ is often applied generically. In this article, the authors combine bioarchaeological, taphonomic, radiocarbon, and isotopic studies to explore the ritual practice of the selective retention, curation, and deposition of a group of human crania and mandibles. Between 5500…

SiLiBA
Lithotheques collect and exhibit raw material used by human communities for the manufacturing of objects during the Prehistory and represents an important tool of their knowledge. These collections are essential in the procuring and provenance study of archaeological lithic industries. This paper aims, firstly, to introduce SiLiBA, the lithotheque of the Earth and Geoenvironmental Sciences Department of the University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy), a…

First evidence in Italian mainland of Pantelleria obsidian
A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Early Neolithic Pyrotechnological Structures. The Case Study of Portonovo (Marche, Italy)
The introduction of agricultural practices fostered the development of specific technologies for the new subsistence practices and the production of new artefacts. Pyrotechnological structures such as ovens are part of the Neolithic equipment and accompanied the spread of agriculture from the Near East across Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Ovens located within settlements – mainly domed, above-ground structures – have been traditionally linked…

The Eneolithic/Bronze Age Transition at Tegole di Bovino (Apulia)
Human communities at the transition between the Eneolithic period and the Bronze Age had to rapidly adapt to cultural and climatic changes, which influenced the whole Mediterranean. The exact dynamics involved in this crucial passage are still a matter of discussion. As newer studies have highlighted the key role of climatic fluctuations during this period, their relationship with the human occupation of the landscape are yet to be fully explored…
New insights into the funerary rituals of the Neolithic site of Passo di Corvo (Apulia, Italy)

Building a step by step result in archaeometry. Raw materials, provenance and production technology of Apulian Red Figure pottery
Contribution of mineralogical and analytical techniques to investigate provenance and technologies of Hellenistic pottery from Arpi (Southern Italy)
Petroarchaeometric Data on Antiparos Obsidian (Greece) for Provenance Study by SEM-EDS and XRF
The island of Antiparos belongs to the Aegean volcanic arc. The obsidian outcrops here contain pieces of excellent tool-making quality, but of small size making the raw material less attractive. Geological samples collected at Soros beach, at Blaco and Mastichi, in the southern part of the island, were analysed using Optical Microscopy, XRF (whole rock) and SEM-EDS (glass and microliths-microphenocrysts). The results obtained demonstrate the pote…

Early Neolithic potters of the Italian Middle Adriatic region
This paper presents the preliminary results of the study of the Early Neolithic pottery production in the Marche region, Italy (VI mill. BC). The main goal of this research is to expand the knowledge of pottery manufacturing processes associated to the typical Central Adriatic Impressed Ware, at present poorly understood. All sites under analysis are located in the piedmont hills of the Apennine Mountains, except one which is on the coast. This s…
Climate changes and human–environment interactions in the Apulia region of southeastern Italy during the Neolithic period
The objective of our research was to define the main human–environment interactions during the Neolithic period (6500–3700 bc) in the Apulia region of southeastern Italy based on available published and unpublished data. Knowledge of these interactions is crucial to understanding the cultural and social dynamics of the period, particularly concerning the earliest farmers. Using a multidisciplinary approach, paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatologi…

Archaeometric data on production and circulation of Neolithic Serra d’Alto ware in southern Italy during the fifth millennium BC
Mid/Late Neolithic Serra d’Alto ware was widely diffused in southern Italy during the fifth millennium BC and shows homogeneous formal and technical features. Its wide distribution and frequent occurrence in funerary or cultual contexts have led many scholars to emphasise its exchange value. The issue of the circulation of finished pots rather than of a production model in different areas of Southern Italy, is explored by means of petrologic, min…

Depuis 2014, et pour trois ans, le Centre Jean Bérard s’est engagé, aux côtés de l’Università degli Studi di Salerno, et sous la supervision de la Surintendance archéologique des Pouilles, avec l’étroite collaboration du Centro Operativo per l’Archeologia della Daunia de Foggia, dans un programme de recherches sur le site de l’antique Arpi. Sont présentés dans les pages suivantes les enjeux du projet ainsi qu’un résumé des résultats préliminaires…
Regional asynchronicity in dairy production and processing in early farming communities of the northern Mediterranean
Significance This unique research combines the analyses of lipid residues in pottery vessels with slaughter profiles for domesticated ruminants to provide compelling evidence for diverse subsistence strategies in the northern Mediterranean basin during the Neolithic. Our findings show that the exploitation and processing of milk varied across the region, although most communities began to exploit milk as soon as domesticates were introduced betwe…

Modelling the earliest north-western dispersal of Mediterranean Impressed Wares
The authors attempt to specify the diffusion pattern of the Impressed-Ware Neolithic (Impresso-cardial complex, ICC), from south-eastern Italy onto the French Mediterranean coasts. Using ChronoModel® software, a Bayesian model was built with sets of dates obtained on well-contextualised, short-lived samples. The results highlight a clear tightening of the chronology in the so-called nuclear area (Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria) and a pioneer dispe…
