  • A novel, continuous high-resolution palaeoecological record from central Italy suggests comparable land-use dynamics in Southern and Central Europe during the Neolithic

    Open AccessGiorgia Beffa, Erika Gobet et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2024Referencias: 31

    Although rare, temporally and taxonomically highly-resolved palaeoecological studies with high chronological precision are essential to perform detailed comparisons with precisely dated independent evidence such as archaeological findings, historical events, or palaeoclimatic data. Using a new highly-resolved and chronologically precise sedimentary record from Lago di Mezzano (central Italy), we reconstruct decadal-scale vegetation, species diver…

  • The Establishment of the Agricultural Landscape of Central Sicily Between the Middle Neolithic and the Beginning of the Iron Age

    Open AccessClaudia Speciale, Enrico Giannitrapani et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 94

    The possible co-variation of human occupation and vegetation from the Middle Neolithic to the beginning of the Iron Age (7.5-2.8 ka BP) in Central Sicily in the context of the central Mediterranean between Middle and Late Holocene are analysed in this paper to provide new insights on Sicilian prehistoric demography. The demographic and economic trends during these millennia were reconstructed using archaeological, Accelerator Mass Spectrometry 14…

  • The High Potential of Micro-Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Identification of Archaeological Reeds

    Open AccessClaudia Moricca, Valeria Stagno et al.ARTICLEHeritage2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    This study explores the potential of micro-magnetic resonance imaging (μ-MRI) for identifying archaeological reeds found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Reed plants had various historical uses in the past, with ancient Egyptians extensively employing them for crafting a wide range of items. The distinct cross-sectional characteristics of Arundo donax (giant reed) and Phragmites australis (common reed) are observed and described via optical microscopy…

  • An Environmental and Climate History of the Roman Expansion in Italy

    Open AccessStanley Bernard, Seth Bernard et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2023Citada por: 8

    A first synthesis of available data for the period of Rome's expansion in Italy (about 400-29 b.c.e.) shows the role of climate and environment in early Roman imperialism. Although global indices suggest a warmer phase with relatively few short-term climate events occuring around the same time as the expansion, local data emphasize the highly variable timing and expression of these trends. This variability casts doubt on ideas of a unitary, histo…

  • Crop Husbandry at Gabii During the Iron Age and Archaic Period

    Fanny Gavériaux, Luana Motta et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 19

    Intensification of agricultural production to support demographic growth has been invoked as a necessary correlate to the important socio-economic changes involved in the urbanisation process of Western Central Italy at the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE. Yet, the agricultural economy of the early urban centres in the region remains poorly understood. Ongoing excavations at Gabii provide a new substantial archaeobotanical dataset that allows…

  • The Wooden Roof Framing Elements, Furniture and Furnishing of the Etruscan Domus of the Dolia of Vetulonia (Southern Tuscany, Italy)

    Open AccessGinevra Coradeschi, Massimo Beltrame et al.ARTICLEHeritage2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 16

    The Etruscan Domus of the Dolia remained hidden until 2009, when archaeological excavations began in the Etruscan–Roman district of Vetulonia (Southern Tuscany). Based on the classification of the archaeological materials recovered, the destruction of the Domus and the Etruscan city of Vetulonia was traced back to the 1st century BC. The highly various and precious materials recovered inside the Domus revealed the richness of the building and its…

  • At the origins of Pompeii

    Open AccessCristiano Vignola, Jacopo Bonetto et al.ARTICLEVegetation History and…2021Citada por: 5Referencias: 9

    The ad 79 eruption of the Vesuvius severely affected the floodplain surrounding the ancient city of Pompeii, i.e. the Sarno River floodplain. The landscape was covered with volcaniclastic materials that destroyed the ecosystem but, at the same time, preserved the traces of former environmental conditions. This study provides—for the first time—a pollen sequence reconstructing the environmental evolution and the plant landscape of the Sarno floodp…

  • Cultural landscape and plant use at the Phoenician site of Motya (Western Sicily, Italy) inferred from a disposal pit

    Open AccessClaudia Moricca, L Nigro et al.ARTICLEVegetation History and…2021Citada por: 5Referencias: 8

    The present study concerns the Phoenician-Punic site of Motya, a small island set in Western Sicily (Italy), in the Marsala Lagoon (Stagnone di Marsala), between Trapani and Marsala. A big disposal pit, datable to between the first half of the 8th and the mid-6th century bc , was identified in Area D. This context was sampled for plant macro-remains through bucket flotation. Palynological treatment and analysis were also performed on soil samples…

  • Elite Food Between the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance

    Francesca Alhaique, Claudia Moricca et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 3

    The study of plant and animal remains from archaeological sites provides important evidence about past human diets and habits: this includes species selection, food preparation, consumption and disposal practices. Furthermore, such information may also provide inferences about social status. Data from refuse disposal features identified in some elite contexts in central Italy – a high-status residence in Celleno Vecchio (Viterbo) and the Baglioni…

  • Plant Assemblage of the Phoenician Sacrificial Pit by the Temple of Melqart/Herakles (Motya, Sicily, Italy)

    Claudia Moricca, L Nigro et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2020Citada por: 3Referencias: 16

    Archaeobotanical remains from the Phoenician – Punic site of Motya, set in the Marsala Lagoon in Western Sicily (Italy), were collected through flotation and sieving during the excavation campaigns of 2017–2019. Analyses focused on a sacrificial favissa, on the SW side of the Temple of Cappiddazzu, dedicated to Melqart/Herakles, where the buried remains of seven bovines were also found. Plant remains, preserved mostly by mineralisation, provide i…

  • The 4.2 ka BP Event in the Mediterranean region

    Open AccessMonica Bini, Giovanni Zanchetta et al.ARTICLEClimate of the Past2019

    The Mediterranean region and the Levant have returned some of the clearest evidence of a climatically dry period occurring around 4200 years ago. However, some regional evidence is controversial and contradictory, and issues remain regarding timing, progression, and regional articulation of this event. In this paper, we review the evidence from selected proxies (sea-surface temperature, precipitation, and temperature reconstructed from pollen, δ1…

  • Tyrrhenian central Italy

    Open AccessSimon Stoddart, John Woodbridge et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2019Citada por: 12Referencias: 34

    This paper compares changes in vegetation structure and composition (using synthetic fossil pollen data) with proxy data for population levels (including settlements and radiocarbon dates) over the course of the last 10 millennia in Tyrrhenian central Italy. These data show generalised patterns of clearance of woodland in response both to early agriculturalists and urbanism, as well as the specific adoption of tree crops and variations in stock g…

  • From influence to impact

    Open AccessAnna Maria Mercuri, Assunta Florenzano et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2019Citada por: 18Referencias: 33

    Archaeobotany is used to discover details on local land uses in prehistoric settlements developed during the middle and beginning of late Holocene. Six archaeological sites from four countries (Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey) have pollen and charcoal records showing clear signs of the agrarian systems that had developed in the Mediterranean basin during different cultural phases, from pre-Neolithic to Recent Bronze Age. A selected list of polle…

  • Early Arrival of New World Species Enriching the Biological Assemblage of the Santi Quattro Coronati Complex (Rome, Italy)

    Open AccessClaudia Moricca, Francesca Alhaique et al.ARTICLEInterdisciplinaria Archaeologica…2018Citada por: 2Referencias: 8

    This paper reports the archaeobotanical and archaeozoological data from a disposal pit, whose use started after the partial closure of a staircase, and from a mortar surface within a former porch in the Santi Quattro Coronati complex in Rome, Italy. The two contexts were in use in the Early Modern Age, when the complex served as a cardinal seat. The element that distinguishes the Santi Quattro Coronati from other contemporaneous contexts is the p…

    Open AccessMatthias Thienemann, Alessia Masi et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2017Citada por: 3Referencias: 22

    In this study, we present lipid biomarker and palynological data for a sediment core from Lake Dojran (Macedonia/Greece), which covers the entire Holocene period. We analyzed vascular plant-derived n-alkanes, combustion-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), fecal steroids, and bacterial and archaeal glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids in concert with microcharcoal and pollen assemblages to reconstruct climatic, environme…

  • Realising consilience

    Open AccessAdam Izdebski, Karin Holmgren et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Science Reviews2016

    This paper reviews the methodological and practical issues relevant to the ways in which natural scientists, historians and archaeologists may collaborate in the study of past climatic changes in the Mediterranean basin. We begin by discussing the methodologies of these three disciplines in the context of the consilience debate, that is, attempts to unify different research methodologies that address similar problems. We demonstrate that there ar…

  • Palynology and ostracodology at the Roman port of ancient Ostia (Rome, Italy)

    Open AccessLaura Sadori, Ilaria Mazzini et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016Citada por: 1Referencias: 12

    New detailed palynological and ostracodological analyses together with texture data from a sediment core drilled in Ostia Antica confirm the existence of the ancient Ostia harbour and its location by the Tiber River. Using the different proxies analysed in this work and chronologically framing the sediment record with three AMS radiocarbon dates, four phases have been singled out: pre-harbour, harbour bay under fluvial influence, more protected h…

  • Regional Vegetation Histories

    Katerina Kouli, Alessia Masi et al.ARTICLELate Antique Archaeology2015

    Vegetation patterns during the 1st millennium AD in the central Mediterranean, exhibit a great variability, due to the richness of these habitats and the continuous shaping of the environment by human societies. Variations in land use, witnessed in the pollen record, reflect the role that local vegetation and environmental conditions played in the choices made by local societies. The interdisciplinary study of off-site cores remains the key evide…
