The smelting of copper in the third millennium cal BC Trentino, north-eastern Italy
This paper presents observations and analyses on seven slag pieces from two third-millennium cal BC (Late Copper Age/Early Bronze Age) rock shelters in the Trentino, north-eastern Italy: La Vela di Valbusa and the Riparo di Monte Terlago. We review previous work on contemporary slags from the region and show that the smelting did not follow the well-known 'Timna', 'Eibner' or so-called 'Chalcolithic' copper smelting processes. We show that ethnog…
Investigating the diet of Mesolithic groups in the Southern Alps
Stable isotopic data (δ13C; δ15N) were obtained from Mesolithic human and faunal remains from northeastern Italy in order to document the human diet and provide information on the relationship between landscape use and subsistence strategies. The bone samples were from an adult female individual (Early Mesolithic, Late Sauveterrian) buried at Vatte di Zambana (Trento), an adult male (Late Mesolithic, Castelnovian) buried at Mondeval de Sora (Bell…
Take Care of Me! Protection, conservation and presentation of archaeological sites to the public in the Autonomous Province of Trento, northern Italy

Postmortem analysis of WWI human remains from Italian glaciers in rare environmental conditions
The authors report the results obtained by a multidisciplinary investigation of nine cases of human remains belonging to unknown Austrian WWI soldiers found in a glacial environment in the North-Eastern Alps. The aim of this research is to investigate the biological profile, pathology and cause of death, and taphonomic details of the soldiers' bodies preserved in the glacial environment of the Alps. The human remains were recovered by forensic ar…
Northern Italy
This article studies the Bronze Age of northern Italy, including the southern slopes of the central-eastern Alps and the central-eastern plain of the Po valley. The first section identifies the relevant morphological features of the area, and then briefly mentions the chronology of the Bronze Age in northern Italy. It discusses the Polada culture, which emerged during the Early Bronze Age, and the lack of archaeological evidence on funeral rites,…
