Dating the 'Copper Age' in the Italian Peninsula and Adjacent Islands

The author analyses the analogies and differences in the cultural developments of certain regions of the central Mediterranean in the period 3500–2500 bc. Radiocarbon dates, although still insufficient in number, help in building a system of relative chronologies, which are still in the course of being defined. In particular, certain transformations are examined, such as the development of metal working and changes in ritual funerary practices, as well as other socia-ideological aspects. Moreover, the author considers the problem of the role played by contacts with the wider world in these transformation
