Networks and transcultural evidence in late iron age Bisenzio (Capodimonte, VT, Italy, 750–730 BCE)
The community that thrived between the 2nd millennium BCE and the 5th century BCE at Bisenzio, near Capodimonte on Lake Bolsena, i.e. the hinterland of Southern Etruria (today’s Northern Latium), is counted among the most important proto-urban communities of the early phase of the Early Iron Age in the Italian Peninsula (ca. 930/20–800 BCE). Despite this reading, some scholars believe that already during the 8th century BCE, Bisenzio was dependen…
Insights into agricultural practices at the Phoenician site of Castro Marim between 7th-5th century BCE
Castro Marim is an Iron Age site from the Algarve region, Portugal. The earliest evidence of settlement, from the Late Bronze Age, dates to the 9 th century BCE, with the Phoenician-Punic period dating from the 7 th to the 3 rd century BCE. This study focuses on the stable isotope analysis of plant and collagen of faunal remains to reconstruct cultivation and husbandry practices. Barley was the most abundantly cultivated cereal crop. The stable i…
An Environmental and Climate History of the Roman Expansion in Italy
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…
The paleoenvironment and depositional context of the Sumerian site of Abu Tbeirah (Nasiriyah, southern Mesopotamia, Iraq)
The Sumerian culture flourished within the Tigris and Euphrates rivers floodplains and along their deltaic systems, which ca. 6000 yr were located ~250–260 km inland from the present Persian Gulf. Here, large floodplains and marshes were crossed by an intricate network of channels where several human settlements developed. In this paper, we describe in detail the paleoenvironmental context where the site of Abu Tbeirah (third millennium BC) devel…
