Sombrero lids’ and children’s pots. An Early Bronze Age shaft grave from Tell Shiyukh Tahtani
2006
Tell Shiyukh Tahtani is one of the ancient mounds in the upper Syrian Euphrates Valley, which has been recently investigated by a team of the University of Palermo as part of the Tishreen Dam Salvage project1. Apart from various levels of occupation, ranging from the early third millennium B.C. to classical and Islamic times, these excavations have brought to light a fairly large amount of graves (about 90), which, beside providing many interesting finds, allow us to undertake a detailed study of Bronze Age burial practices at the site and in northern Syria as a whole. In dedicating the present paper to Uwe Finkbeiner, who has, as an excavator, made a great contribution to the archaeology o…

New investigations in the North-East quarter of Motya. The archaic cemetery and Building J
2017
In June 2013 the University of Palermo excavations on Motya were resumed. The main goal of the new project is to investigate the north-east quarter of the Phoenician settlement and its urban development since the time of its foundation. Two main areas of excavation were opened. In the early cemetery sixteen cremation burials of the archaic period were uncovered. The most striking discoveries, never attested before, were a tomb containing Hellenistic offerings, and the occurrence of archaic infant cremations. The second excavation was conducted east of Zone K in Building J, which is characterized by its use of a fine ‘pier and rubble’ construction technique. Two rooms have been partially cle…
NEW ANTHROPOLOGICAL DATA FROM THE ARCHAIC NECROPOLIS AT MOTYA (2013 EXCAVATION SEASON)
2018
In this paper we present the most recent anthropological study on bones of the archaic tombs of Motya (Sicily, Italy), where a large necropolis has been brought to light since the first excavations of Joseph Whitaker. The newly acquired data suggest that this portion of the Motya archaic cemetery was not exclusively devoted to the incineration of particular classes of age but the urns and cists could contain multiple burials of very different ages. .
The Archaic Cemetery at Motya. A case-study for tracing early colonial Phoenician culture and mortuary traditions in the West Mediterranean
2016
The burial ground, roughly dating from the late 8th cent. BC onwards, is characterised in its earliest major phase by the almost exclusive practice of cremation, a rite that was introduced and largely attested in the Levant during the Iron Age1 . The same rite was inherited from the Phoenician homeland and became widespread in the western colonial world, where it eventually survived until the Hellenistic period. The purpose of the present paper is to re-examine briefly the archaeological evidence so far retrieved in the early island cemetery, stressing its main features and reviewing some of the current scholarly views and interpretations.
Sabratha. Una guida a studi e ricerche degli ultimi 50 anni
2017
Il volume, non una semplice guida archeologica, aggiunge ad una descrizione dei singoli complessi monumentali e dei locali musei alcune riflessioni su tematiche di ordine generale, sulla scultura, sull'urbanistica, sull'architettura religiosa, civile e domestica, sulla pittura e il mosaico della Sabratha punico-ellenistica e romana e sulle realizzazioni di età cristiana riportando gli esiti delle ricerche della Missione archeologica dell'Università di Palermo, già diretta da Nicola Bonacasa, ospitando i contributi di studiosi esterni autori di recentissime pubblicazioni su complessi di primaria importanza.

65. Tell Shiyukh Tahtani
2016
This volume presents the long history of Syria through a jouney of the most important and recently-excavated archaeological sites. The sites cover over 1.8 million years and all regions in Syria; 110 academics have contributed information on 103 excavations for this volume. Based on these contributions the volume offers a detailed summary of the history of Syria, a history as important as any in terms of the development of human society. It is hoped that this knowledge will offer not only an increased understanding of the country but also act as a deterrent to the destruction of Syrian cultural heritage and facilitate the protection of Syrian sites.
Dal Sikanikòn all'Hellenikòn
2017
I numeri LII e LIII di Kokalos accolgono gli esiti di un incontro tenutosi nel mese di dicembre del 2003 e organizzato dall'Istituto Siciliano per la Storia antica "Eugenio Manni", in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Palermo, con l'obiettivo di fare il punto sui rapporti tra Greci e popolazioni epicorie della Sicilia, soprattutto alla luce dei nuovi ritrovamenti epigrafici ed archeologici. Già le informazioni degli autori antichi parlano non solo di scontri bellici o di rapporti di alleanza, ma anche di matrimoni misti, di legami di ospitalità, di titolari di grandi proprietà e di mercanti cartaginesi a Siracusa e in altre città siceliote; esse offrono …
