Il progetto “Cignana” (Naro-Palma di Montechiaro, Sicilia centro-meridionale). Prospezione archeologica intorno alla villa romana di Cignana. Primi d…
2012
Si illustrano i risultati di quattro campagne (dal 2007 al 2010) di prospezione archeologica condotte nel territorio intorno alla villa di Cignana, toponimo - forse da un originario Liciniana - che documenta la probabile esistenza di una vasta proprietà agricola in età imperiale romana. La prospezione, condotta in modo intensivo e sistematico all’interno di un ampio comprensorio ed associata ad un GIS, documenta tutte le fasi di vita del territorio, ricchissimo di testimonianze dal Neolitico all’alto medioevo, con lo scopo di cogliere i modi di sfruttamento delle risorse e le principali dinamiche di trasformazione del popolamento.
Resuttano (IGM 260 III SO)
2002
Il volume illustra i risultati della prospezione archeologica condotta in un'area della Sicilia centro-settentrionale, allo spartiacque tra i fiumi Imera Settentrionale, Imera Meridionale e Platani. Si ricostruiscono le dinamiche dell'insediamento antico dalla preistoria all'età tardo-antica e alto medievale, nonché il sistema della viabilità antica, con il supporto della carta archeologica e della carta della visibilità dei suoli, realizzate tramite GIS.

La prospezione archeologica in Sicilia. Esame comparativo tra i territori di Alesa e di Thermae Himeraeae in età romana
2018
The aim of this paper is – from a comparative point of viewand to make an analitical and critical review of the archaeological surveys carried out by the University of Palermo in the hinterland of Alesa and Thermae Himeraeae (Northern Sicily) during the Roman period. The research is focused on: identifying the geographical and morphological characters, and the resources of the territory in Antiquity; analysing the distribution of the settlements in the Roman Age, connected to the resources and to the various aspects of the landscape.
Baucina (Pa) - Monte Falcone 2014. Indagini nella necropoli
2017
The aim of this report is to present the results of rescue excavations, executed in order to contrast illegal excavation at the necropolis at Baucina, in northwestern Sicily, where Punic, Greek and indigenous traditions coexisted. Their relationship is the focus of the ongoing research. The archaeological dataset demonstrates that the interaction between three different ethnicities resulted in an impressive variety of rituals.
Landscape Dynamics and Cultural Contacts in the Territory of Himera in the Archaic Period
2022
In central-northern Sicily, the watershed area between the northern and southern Imera and Platani rivers has already been recognized for years as a pivotal area in relations between the different areas of the island, both in reference to the political and economic projections of the colonial poleis , especially between Himera, Akragas, both in reference to economic relations and cultural contacts with indigenous communities. This area is very crucial context of encounter and confrontation between communities, in which complex systems of territorial articulation can be grasped. The position of the settlements along the basins of the two Himera highlights a close connection in terms of inter…
Sicily from the Augustan periodo to the Middle Empire: what "romanization"?
2021
From a political-cultural point of view, the impact of the Roman conquest of Sicily can be seen in different aspects: for example, the policy of conquest, the flow of Italici in the island since the II century. B.C., the adoption of architectural structures of Italic tradition already from the Hellenistic age, especially in the sacred architecture. Of course, the situation in Sicily is particularly complex because the Romans did not come into contact with a single culture, but at least with three different ones: the indigenous ("Hellenized"), the Punic and the Greek (in its western colonial form). This makes it particularly difficult to provide a unified picture of the problem. If the relat…
The Countryside in Sicily under the Roman Empire: Archaeological Survey and Methodological Approach, Settlements and Resources
2019
Si illustra lo stato delle attuali conoscenze archeologiche relative al paesaggio rurale di età romana della Sicilia, attraverso i risultati delle prospezioni archeologiche e di analoghe ricerche effettuate a partire dagli anni '80 del secolo scorso. In alcuni territori (come Himera, Gela, Agrigento, Alesa, e in altre aree interne) queste ricerche hanno prodotto informazioni nuove che aiutano a comprendere le differenti dinamiche storiche che caratterizzano varie aree dell'isola. The object of this report is to describe the current knowledge about the Roman landscape of Sicily, and the results connected to the archaeological surveys and other similar researches carried out from the eighties…
Thermae Himeraeae (Sicilia) e il suo hinterland: dalla documentazione ceramica alle dinamiche del popolamento in età imperiale
2014
This paper presents the archaeological and archaeometric results about roman amphorae, coarse/cooking wares and TSA from Termini Imerese (NW Sicily), and the relationships with distribution of same pottery in the hinterland of ancient city, where in the last thirty years the Dept. of Cultural Heritage of University of Palermo have carried out extensive surveys (San Leonardo, Torto and Northern Imera valleys). The research starts up typological and archaeometric studies published in the nineties of last century, now part of a new interdisciplinary program with CNR-IBAM (Catania) and CNRS (Aix-en-Provence). A good documentation of African amphorae, coarse/cooking wares, produced both in Byzac…
Detection of a reservoir water level using shape similarity metrics
2017
The matching between reservoirs’ water edge and digital elevation model’s (DEM) contour lines allowed determining the water level at the acquisition date of satellite images. A preliminary study was conducted on the Castello dam (Magazzolo Lake), between Alessandria della Rocca and Bivona (Agrigento, south-Italy). The accuracy assessment of the technique was than evaluated from the comparison between classified and reference objects using similarity metrics about the shape, theme, edge and position, through the plugin STEP of open source software GIS. Moreover, an independent GIS technique was implemented to evaluate the water level, based on a distances’ array between existing contour line…
