  • Archaeobotanical and Historical Insights on Some Steps of Forest Cover Disruption at Ustica Island (Sicily, Italy) from Prehistory Until Present day

    Claudia Speciale, Nunzia Larosa et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2021Cited by: 2References: 16

    This paper interprets the first archaeobotanical data to emerge from the island of Ustica (north-western Sicily, Italy). The excavation of the Neolithic site of Piano dei Cardoni (4600-4200 cal BC) and the Middle Bronze Age site of Faraglioni Village (1500-1250 cal BC), has made it possible to analyse plant macro-remains and compare them with data on local vegetation obtained from both historical literary sources and recent field surveys. The ons…

  • The indigenous settlement of Monte Iato (western Sicily): An ethnoarchaeometric approach for outlining local Archaic ceramic productions

    Open AccessG Montana, Anna Maria Polito et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2021References: 14

    An ethnoarchaeometric approach has been followed to identify the textural and compositional characteristics of the ceramic pastes produced in ancient Iaitas/Ietas, an indigenous site located in western Sicily on Monte Iato, a few tens of kilometres from Palermo. This approach was primarily motivated by the lack of discovered Archaic kilns or production sites/workshops and the inability to identify reference groups. Raw clays were sampled in the t…

  • Ceramica a vernice nera di età ellenistica da siti della Sicilia nord-occidentale: Considerazioni tipologiche ed analisi archeometriche

    Oscar Belvedere, Aurelio Burgio et al.ARTICLEMélanges de l École française de…2006Cited by: 1

    In questo studio sono state integrate osservazioni tipologiche, condotte su forme a vernice nera rinvenute a Palermo, Termini Imerese, Monte Iato e Marineo, con i dati ricavati dalla caratterizzazione mineralogica, petrografica e chimica degli impasti. I 55 campioni selezionati appartengono a due forme : un piatto («Lamboglia 36 » , serie 1310-1320 di J.-P. Morel), tra i più comuni nella Campana A di I e II secolo a. C. ; ed una coppa di produzio…
