Castellaraccio di Monteverdi (Civitella Paganico, Grosseto)
La necropoli di Strozzacapponi (Perugia – Corciano)
Morphometric and aDNA study of charred plant remains found in the Monteverdi medieval castle, Civitella Paganico, Grosseto, Italy
Recycling the Roman Villa
The Tomb of the Rings and the Tomb of the Linen. New Data for a Late Etruscan Community in the Middle Valley of the Ombrone River (Civitella Paganico – Italy)
The paper describes the discovery of two late Etruscan burials at Podere Cannicci (Civitella Paganico, GR) and their significance within the broader territory of this part of Etruria
Roman Bricks off the Wall
Roman stamped bricks are considered one of the best indicators of the provenance of Roman building materials, contractors and owners, due to the names included in the stamps. They are also a good proxy for understanding part of the supply chain directed towards Rome and the city’s peripheral territories; however, hypotheses based on stamps are nevertheless often insufficient for pinpointing production centers, which limits the extent to which the…
Roman Funerary Rituals in Mutina (Modena, Italy)
Ancient Rome and the Modern Italian State
In this book, Alessandro Sebastiani examines how architecture and urbanism can be used to construct national identity. Using Rome as his case study, he explores how the city was transformed to accommodate different political ideologies in the period from 1870 to the end of World War II. After unification, Rome's classical architecture served as a reference point, guiding transformations of the urban fabric that met contemporary needs but also sup…
A Double Burial from Shahr-I Sokhta Necropolis (Iran). Bioarcheological Investigations and Non-Invasive Biotechnological Studies on Fragments of Human Remains
The archaeological site of Shahr-i Sokhta, in the Sistan region of south-eastern Iran, is noted for the exceptional preservation of human remains documented in its necropolis. This report describes the results of a non-destructive multidisciplinary investigation into a double burial excavated at Shahr-i Sokhta, preserving two skeletons of subadults. The first part of this study provides an archaeotanatological and bioarchaeological description of…

A Late Etruscan Burial at Podere Cannicci (Civitella Paganico – Grosseto)
In March 2021, following some agricultural activities on a slight relief in the area of Civitella Paganico, the remains of a second century B.C.E. burial were excavated by the research team of the IMPERO Project (Interconnected Mobility of People and Economies along the River Ombrone). This paper details the results of the rescue excavations and presents the preliminary data on the nearby settlement of Podere Cannicci to contextualize its necropo…
Digital Artifacts and Landscapes. Experimenting with Placemaking at the Impero Project
This paper describes the public archaeology approach and placemaking experiment at the Etruscan and Roman site of Podere Cannicci in Tuscany (Italy), drawing from the previous experience at three other archaeological sites along the Tyrrhenian coast. After three years of excavations at the IMPERO Project (Interconnected Mobility of People and Economy along the River Ombrone), the team has begun a side project to develop new strategies for communi…
The faunal assemblage from the manufacturing district at Spolverino
This paper presents a zooarchaeological analysis from the site of Spolverino (southern Tuscany, Italy). Archaeological excavations have uncovered a complex stratigraphy dated from the Roman Imperial period to Late Antiquity (late 1st- early 6th centuries AD). The industrial function of the site in Imperial times is partially reflected in the nature of the faunal assemblage. In Late Antiquity, Spolverino lost its original manufacturing functions, …
I paesaggi dell’Italia medievale
Beyond Butrint
This article provides a short report on a survey of the region to the east of the ancient city of Butrint, in south-west Albania. Centred on the modern villages of Mursi and Xarra, the field survey provides information on over 80 sites (including standing monuments). Previous surveys close to Butrint have brought to light the impact of Roman Imperial colonisation on its hinterland. This new survey confirms that the density of Imperial Roman sites…
