I livelli neolitici della Grotta San Michele di Saracena (CS)
2021
The cave of San Michele lies on the right side of the narrow Garga valley, facing the modern settlement of Saracena (Cosenza) at an altitude of 750 m.a.s.l. Research conducted from 1998 to 2009 revealed an uninterrupted stratigraphic sequence from the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age. Studies of material from the Neolithic levels and the availability of radiocarbon dating allow for a reconstruction of the history of the Calabrian Sibaritide-Pollino populations in this period, highlighting the area as a meeting point of different cultural influences coming from south-east and south-west of Southern Italy.
Dinamiche di popolamento e processi di trasmissione culturale nel comprensorio madonita attraverso la ricostruzione della viabilità antica
2020
La ricerca sulle Madonie nasce con l’intenzione di approfondire l’evoluzione storica del popolamento sulla regione montana della Sicilia nord-occidentale. Il territorio, che solo in anni recenti è divenuto oggetto di più approfondite ricerche storico-archeologiche, si presenta estremamente ricco di risorse naturali e caratterizzato da un sostrato culturale variegato che abbraccia territori d’alta montagna, dediti ad una economia silvo-pastorale prettamente conservativa, e insediamenti costieri fortemente proiettati allo scambio e al commercio. A fine di comprendere lo sviluppo delle dinamiche d’insediamento di un’area molto estesa, si è proceduto anzitutto con la restituzione ipotetica dei …
Massa Fundorum. E' possibile rintracciarla sul terreno?

Archaeology of Uplands on a Mediterranean Island. The Madonie Mountain Range In Sicily
2019
The book presents an archaeological research conducted within the Highlands of Sicily. Results of the archaeological survey in the Madonie mountain range, in northern Sicily, supported by a chronological and cultural grid, drawn by the excavation of Vallone Inferno, deal with complex and fascinating problems of uplands and mountainous landscape. Settlement patterns, between the Late Pleistocene and the Medieval era, are investigated through the support of spatial analyses. A diversified use of the mountain is currently attested by this research, according to the different prehistoric and historical times. This work is innovative for the Mediterranean area, where there are no similar example…
Baucina-Monte Falcone 2014, indagini nella necropoli.
2016
The aim of this report is to present the results of archaeological samples, executed in order to contrast illegal researches on a necropolis at Baucina, in the northwestern part of Sicily, where Punic, Greek and indigenous traditions coexisted, in a relationship which is the focus of our ongoing investigation. We collected an archeological dataset, whose interpretation is detecting an articulated situation where the interaction between three different ethnic groups gave as result the variety of rituals. The future excavations of the site could increase the perception of this interaction, for a period in which Greeks and Punics designed their spheres of influence of the territories within th…

Roman Sicily. Cities and territories between monumentalization and economy, crisis and development
2018
This volume is the result of a collaboration between the two Universities of Palermo and Göttingen, who have been cooperating for a decade, implementing an intense exchange of experiences in the field of teaching and research, as part of the double degree in master's degree in archeology. We took the opportunity to study some aspects of archaeological research on Roman Sicily, after twenty years of intense activity on the island both by Italian universities and several foreign universities. The title of the seminar with its binary terms, city and territory, monumentalization and economy, crisis and development, aims to reflect the complexity of the situation of the island in Roman times.
