Les espaces funéraires laténien et augusto-tibérien des Reliades (Le Puy-en-Velay, Haute-Loire).
2022
Le site des Reliades au Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire) a livré deux petits espaces funéraires à crémation utilisés entre La Tène finale et l’époque augusto-tibérienne. Caractérisés par une implantation sur un lieu à la topographie remarquable, ils ont fait l’objet d’aménagements paysagers qui viennent souligner leur caractère ostentatoire. Par ailleurs, la présence de bassins pose la question de l’utilisation de l’eau dans le cadre de cérémonies funéraires et/ou commémoratives. Enfin, bien que le mobilier déposé dans les sépultures soit peu abondant et très détérioré par son passage sur le bûcher, quelques éléments permettent d’attribuer aux défunts un statut social relativement élevé. Il s’agi…

The paper reports the results of the archaeological excavations carried out between 2000 and 2007 in the Early Christian cemetery of Villagrazia di Carini. Four periods were recognized in stratigraphy, from late antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. The sepulchral typologies are arcosolia, loculi, "tombe a mensa" and "formae". The cemetery was used by the Christian community of the ancient diocese of Hykkara from the 4th to at least the 7th century A.D.

The materials found in the catacomb of Villagrazia di Carini consist essentially of African Red Slip Ware, coarse ware of probable African production and oil lamps, both Tripolitan and types Atlante VIII and X.

Materiali ceramici di importazione africana dalla catacomba di Villagrazia di Carini. Un aggiornamento sulla circolazione nel territorio della eccles…
2012
Primo volume della Collana "Quaderni Digitali di Archeologia Postclassica". La catacomba di Villagrazia di Carini è uno dei principali monumenti del primo Cristianesimo siciliano, cimitero di una comunità agiata e aperta alle relazioni con l'area mediterranea. Lo studio proposto in questo volume, partendo dai dati relativi ai materiali ceramici restituiti dalla stratigrafia archeologica dei settori indagati dal 2000 al 2012, testimonia i rapporti commerciali intercorsi fra il territorio servito dalla presenza del complesso catacombale, coincidente con quello dell'ecclesia carinensis citata da Gregorio Magno, e l'Africa romana e protobizantina.
Religious believes versus cultural resource management: about the Medieval Jewish cemetery of Valencia (Spain)
2001
Archaeological heritage ownership is a controversial subject under the influence of both ethnic and religious claims. In 1996, a group of Jewish communities finally were able to interrupt the archaeological excavation under way at the medieval Jewish cemetery of Valencia. In this manner they did not allow the anthropological analysis of human remains recovered at the site that were reburied at the Jewish cemetery of Barcelona. Both administrations, local and regional, prioritized religious claims of the communities involved with respect to the archaeological heritage. As a consequence of a complaint filed by a group of citizens, the Síndic of Greuges of the Valencian Community (regional omb…
L’ampliamento come occasione di recupero della memoria e dell’identità
2012
We present the enlargement plan of an isolated cemetery in a small town of the west Sicily as it exemplifies some way to carry out the design for an “addition”. The enlargement faces a still readable and characteristic nineteenth-century building. Even introducing unavoidable innovative characteristics, the architecture we designed tries to resolve the difficult relationship between the new portion and the old cemetery, bell shaped, in steep slope above the town. The recovery of this place for collective memory, once realized as a closed enclosure, is realized by the mediation of a space which seeks to maintain, recover and reinforce the identity of places altered in the last years by uncon…
