Mountain Environment and Landscape in prehistoric Sicily: The Madonie region (Palermo, Italy)
2008
The present paper would like to show a research project still in progress, presenting the first preliminary archaeological data. The aim of the Madonie project is to analyse mobility strategies and the use of a mountain territory by prehistoric and historic age population, relating geomorphological features, raw material sources and landscape to settlements. In this occurence we are going to discuss about the prehistoric periods.
Strategie d'insediamento nella Sicilia pre-protostorica. Un esempio dal sistema montuoso delle Madonie
2009
The Madonie research project analyzes mobility strategies and the use of a mountainous territory by relating geomorphologic features, raw material sources and landscape to the prehistoric settlement. To that end an intensive and systematic survey of sample areas was planned. Areas were selected on geo-morphological, altimetric and archaeological criteria. The palaeoenvironmental investigation is based on the study of palynological sequence samples coming from wet areas of the Madonie territory and from archaeological deposits. Madonie Natural Park lies on the northern coast of Sicily, near Palermo, in the surrounding of the Greek colony of Himera. The Madonie survey is the next stage of a l…

Mura Pregne: una revisione dei dati archeologici e una ricostruzione virtuale del sito
2018
One of the most interesting long-term settlements in Sicily is Mura Pregne (Palermo). The site (400 m a.s.l.) is located on the northern coast of Sicily, between the last northwestern outcrops of the Madonie and the isolated relief of Monte San Calogero, in a close-up position on the Torto river valley. The earliest phases of the settlement are scarcely known and difcult to assess in their actual consistency, because a quarry has distorted the original appearance of the site. In the absence of new excavations, the purpose of this contribution is to offer a topographic description of the diferent areas, together with new archaeological considerations, based on feld survey and aerial photo an…

Indagine del comprensorio madonita per la ricostruzione del popolamento antico e la valorizzazione dei percorsi e delle aree di interesse archeologic…
2011
Oggetto di studio della ricerca è il comprensorio montano delle Madonie, localizzato sulla costa settentrionale della Sicilia. L’indagine topografica sta rivelando l’interesse archeologico dell’area, evidenziandone in particolar modo le dinamiche insediative per un periodo cronologico inquadrabile tra le fasi finali del Pleistocene ed il primo Olocene. L'indagine è condotta su aree campione che vengono prospettate in maniera intensiva e sistematica. Tali aree sono state preventivamente selezionate in base a criteri geologici, geomorfologici ed altitudinali. Grande importanza è stata data alle analisi paleo-ambientali, tuttora in corso; i primi risultati, di prossima pubblicazione, provengon…
New data on Sicilian prehistoric and historic evolution in a mountain context, Vallone Inferno (Scillato, Italy)
2013
Vallone Inferno rock-shelter is an archaeological site located in the Madonie mountain range in Sicily. Archaeological excavation and research have provided a long prehistoric and historic sequence from the Neolithic to the medieval period, this being the most complete work in this area at present. In this paper we present the preliminary data provided by a multidisciplinary study based on pottery, lithic, human, faunal and plant remains. Stratigraphic studies have identified four complexes, of which complex 3 has provided almost all the archaeological remains. 14C AMS dates, obtained from four samples, place the human activities between 2601 cal BC and 644 cal AD. These dates are coherent …
Prehistoric Settlement and Population in the Madonie Mountains. New Data from the Archaeological Survey
2010
The aim of the Madonie research project is to analyse mobility strategies and the use of a mountainous territory by relating geomorphologic features, raw material sources and landscape to the prehistoric settlement. For this purpose we planned an intensive and systematic survey of sample areas, selected on geo-morphological, altimetric and archaeological criteria, correlated to a palaeoenvironmental investigation based on the study of palynological sequence samples coming from wet areas of the Madonie territory and from archaeological deposits. Le projet de recherche sur la Madonie analyse les stratégies de mobilité et l’exploitation du territoire de montagne, en reliant les caractéristique…
