On the Trail of the “Trembling” Pompeii (Italy)
Ancient Pompeii is known worldwide for having been destroyed by the Plinian eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE. However, the city experienced a prolonged period of seismicity preceding the catastrophe, beginning with a major earthquake in 62 CE, the effects of which are identifiable in the archaeological structures. This study examines multiple lines of evidence for superimposed, ancient seismic damage in four contexts excavated between 2018 and 2025,…
Unveiling the Volcanic History of Ancient Pompeii (Italy)
Many volcanological and geoarchaeological studies in the ancient city of Pompeii (Italy) have been devoted to the 79 CE Plinian eruption of Vesuvius, which sealed the city under a thick pyroclastic sequence. Only fragmentary information exists regarding the stratigraphy of the volcanic sediments sandwiched between the 79 CE street level and the volcanic rocks that form the geological framework of the hill on which Pompeii was built, which constit…
Geohydrologic units of Ischia Island (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)
The first hydrogeological mapping of Ischia Island at the 1:10,000 scale is presented and discussed. The ‘Map of the geohydrologic units of Ischia Island’ and the accompanying hydrostratigraphic sequence at a basin scale are based on the most recent geological maps and data from the CAR.G Project, and on new volcanological and hydrogeological surveys and studies. Data sources include the database stored by the INGV, Sezione di Napoli, Osservatori…
Sacred plant impressions from Somma-Vesuvius volcanic ash deposits
Millennial variability of rates of sea-level rise in the ancient harbour of Naples (Italy, western Mediterranean Sea)
We reconstructed the late Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) evolution of the ancient harbour of Naples, one of the largest coastal conurbations in the Mediterranean. We carried out multiproxy investigations, coupling archaeological evidence with biological indicators. Our data robustly constrain 2000 yr of non-monotonic changes in sea level, chiefly controlled by the complex volcano-tectonic processes that characterize the area. Between ~200 BC a…
A multidisciplinary study of an exceptional prehistoric waste dump in the mountainous inland of Calabria (Italy)
The mountainous inland of northern Calabria (Southern Italy) is known for its sparse prehistoric human occupation. Nevertheless, a thorough multidisciplinary approach of field walking, geophysical survey and invasive research led to the discovery of a major archaeological archive. This archive concerns a rich multi-phased dump, spanning about 3000 years (Late Neolithic to Late Imperial Roman Age) and holding two Somma-Vesuvius tephra. Of these, t…
Sr isotopic composition as a tool for unraveling human mobility in the Campania area
Tephrostratigraphy of paleoclimatic archives in central Mediterranean during the Bronze Age
Dynamics and effects of the Vesuvius Pomici di Avellino Plinian eruption and related phenomena on the Bronze Age landscape of Campania region (Southern Italy)
Holocene vegetation record of upland northern Calabria, Italy
Earlier studies on Holocene fills of upland lakes (Lago Forano and Fontana Manca) in northern Calabria, Italy, showed that these hold important palaeoecological archives, which however remained poorly dated. Their time frame is improved by new 14 C dates on plant remains from new cores. Existing pollen data are reinterpreted, using this new time frame. Two early forest decline phases are distinguished. The earliest is linked to the 4.2 kyr BP cli…
Development and decline of the ancient harbor of Neapolis
Archaeological excavations, undertaken since 2004 for the construction of the new Naples subway, have unearthed the harbor basin of the Greco–Roman town of Parthenope–Neapolis, furnishing scientists with the opportunity to recover abundant archaeological remains and a thick succession of diverse infill sediments. The latter underwent sedimentological, paleontological, and volcanological analyses. Compositional data analysis, applied to all three …
Pedological investigation of an early Bronze Age site in southern Italy
Archaeological excavations over the last 40 years in Campania (southern Italy) confirm intense human occupation since the early Bronze Age (EBA). A pedological analysis of a ∼9 m deep pedostratigraphic sequence at Palma Campania (Naples) provides insights into fertility, rates of soil formation, and environmental conditions over the past 10 kyr. Fourteen volcanic soils formed in parent materials from Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei volcanic eruptions …
