Rural Landscapes, Cultural Heritage, and Contemporary Society: A Challenge of Public Archaeology
The article starts from the consideration of the important role played by the rural landscape of the Roman age in the formation of the contemporary Italian landscape and illustrates some cases of valorization of Roman villas also for the development of new forms of cultural tourism and cultural economy
Il novum musivi genus di Simmaco e i pannelli in opus sectile
This paper takes its cue from analyzing a well-known letter addressed by Symmachus (Symm. Ep. 8.42) to an anonymous addressee. The author asks him to send urgently – on a board or a tile – samples of a novum musivi genus that he wished to use to decorate some rooms of his residences. In order to detect the main features of this type of floor decoration, this paper builds a comparison between the vitreous and marble sectilia panels recovered in Fa…
Agricoltura e allevamento nella Puglia settentrionale tra età romana e Medioevo: Il contributo delle bioarcheologie
Questo intervento tenta di definire alcuni degli apporti che la ricerca bioarcheologica è in grado di fornire per la ricostruzione del paesaggio agrario di età storica su scala regionale. Consapevoli di un necessario ampliamento dei campionamenti disponibili, crediamo anche che senza quell’approccio globale al paesaggio che da diversi anni il gruppo di ricerca dell’Università di Foggia tenta di strutturare e affermare, non può non risultare alqua…
North Apulian Coarse Wares and Fine Painted Wares: A Reappraisal According to New Data From Herdonia and Canusium
Late Antique coarse cooking wares and painted fine wares found at Herdonia (second half of the fourth century to mid‐fifth century ad ) and Canusium (late sixth century to early seventh century ad ) have been chemically and mineralogically characterized. A total of 74 samples (40 of coarse ware and 34 of fine painted ware) was investigated through optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, inductively coupled plas…
The Coloured Tesserae Decorating the Vaults of the Faragola Balneum (Ascoli Satriano, Foggia, Southern Italy)
Twenty‐six tesserae (red, orange, yellow, light amber, green, blue and white) from the balneum of the villa at Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, Foggia) have been examined by colorimetry, ICP–MS, ICP–OES and SEM–EDS. Different types of calcareous sands have been used as the source of silica (network former), also providing the stabilizing agent. A natron‐type soda source served as the network modifier; however, the use of a sodium‐rich plant ash and the…
The Sectilia Panels of Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, Southern Italy): A Multi‐analytical Study of the Green, Marbled (Green and Yellow), Blue and Blackish Glass Slabs
Analyses at the Cu–K, Fe–K and Mn–K edge were performed to study the green, marbled (green and yellow), blue and blackish (deep greyish olive green) glass slabs decorating three sectilia panels from the archaeological site of Faragola. Results indicate that all slabs were made by mixing siliceous sand with natron, sometimes probably mixed with small percentages of plant ash. Cu 2 + and Pb antimonates should be responsible for the opaque green col…
Archaeometric characterisation of coarse and painted fine ware from Posta Crusta (Foggia, Italy): Technology and Provenance
The Sectilia Panels of Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, Southern Italy): A Multi‐analytical Study of the Red, Orange and Yellow Glass Slabs
SEM–EDS, EMPA, ICP–MS and ICP–OES were applied to the study of three sectilia panels made of red, orange and yellow glass slabs. In order to determine the chemical state of Cu, XAS was also performed. The results indicate that, with the exception of the red samples, all slabs were made by mixing a siliceous sand with natron. The red slabs show significant compositional differences with respect to K 2 O and MgO contents, probably linked to the use…
Architecture and Church Power in Late Antiquity: Canosa and San Giusto (Apulia)
Two Early Christian complexes will be presented here: one urban (San Pietro in Canosa), and one rural (San Giusto in the territory of Lucera). Both cases represent clear evidence of the Christianising policy promoted by the Church in the cities and countryside, especially during the 5th and 6th centuries A.D., which led to a new definition of urban and rural landscapes. The Early Christian complex of San Pietro in Canosa—the most important city i…
Cooking and Painted Ware From San Giusto (Lucera, Foggia): The Production Cycle, From the Supply of Raw Materials to the Commercialization of Products
Archaeological excavation at the San Giusto site (Lucera, Italy) has unearthed a Late Antique kiln that was most certainly dedicated to the production of cooking ware. An archaeometric study of numerous specimens of cooking and painted ware found at this site was carried out using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, micro‐Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma mass and optical emission …
