Cuevas rituales ibéricas en el territorio de Kelin (ss. V-III a.C.).
2018
La Meseta de Requena-Utiel, en el interior de la provincia de Valencia, constituyó en época ibérica el territorio de la ciudad de Kelin. Entre otros aspectos, dicho territorio destacó por presentar una elevada concentración de cuevas con materiales ibéricos, de las cuales claramente cinco son resultado de prácticas rituales en su interior. Estas cuevas rituales fueron espacios estrechamente ligados al proceso de territorialización acaecido en la zona entre los siglos V y III a.C. En el presente artículo planteamos una revisión de sus características, ajuares y cronologías, integrándolas en todo momento en el paisaje y entorno inmediato. The Requena-Utiel plateau, in the interior of the Prov…
Il santuario di Zeus Olympios ad Agrigento: al di là del tempio monumentale
2020
The paper aims to reassess the entire architectural and archaeological evidence of the southern part of the sanctuary of Zeus Olympios. This includes the oikos near the SE corner of the big temple (with two building phases dated respectively to the mid-6th century and to the first half of the 5th century), and the area with a large pool and two halls located to the south. This is equipped with a complex drainage system connected with two big cisterns. All these structures can now be referred to as a coherent building program carried out from 480 to 450 B.C. The monumentality of the buildings and infrastructures reflects a grandeur of the rituals that has not been previously addressed. Until…
Riscoprire le vecchie scoperte: il sacello presso l’Olympieion di Agrigento
2016
I risultati delle nuove indagini stratigrafiche nel sacello posto a SE del tempio di Zeus Olympios ad Agrigento, condotte da un'equipe dell'Università di Palermo diretta dalla autrici e coinvolgente anche numerosi studenti di Archeologia dell'Ateneo, insieme con lo studio integrato della documentazione d'archivio e dei vecchi scavi, consentono una ricostruzione della storia, della fisionomia e delle pratiche religiose di un edificio rimasto finora di ardua interpretazione, specie in rapporto al monumentale vicino. In particolare, viene confermata la costruzione del sacello verso la metà del VI secolo, ma si definisce una fase di rimodellamento, risalente ai primi decenni del V secolo, finor…
Lo spazio sacro nella parte centro-occidentale della Collina dei templi: infrastrutturazione e contesto
2021
A seguito delle ricerche idell’Università degli studi di Palermo, si propone una nuova lettura d’insieme dell’area sacra situata sul margine meridionale della città di Akragas, finora percepita sostanzialmente attraverso i templi monumentali più noti (Olympieion e cosiddetto Tempio di Ercole) ma in realtà frutto di una complessa sequela di interventi di infrastrutturazione e riconfigurazione monumentale, legati all’evoluzione socio-politica e alla crescita economico-materiale della città dal suo sorgere alla conquista romana. Following research by the University of Palermo, a new overview of the sacred area located on the southern edge of the city of Akragas is proposed, so far perceived su…
Il santuario di Zeus Olympios nel quadro urbano dell’antica Akragas
2019
The sanctuary of Zeus Olympios at Agrigento has been not perceived in its entirety till now. As a matter of fact, while the temple attracted the scholars’ interest, due to its outstanding features, the buildings surrounding it were referred to residential (W), military (S) and civic (“agora” E/NE) functions. Besides, a sacellum and a pool on the south-eastern side were attributed to the age of Timoleon, later than the main architectural phase. However, the new stratigraphical data allow us to refer all the structures in the southern area to a coherent building program carried out from 480 to 450 BC Starting from this evidence, the paper aims at redefining the whole context, putting it in ur…
Découverte d'un ex-voto particulier sur le site cultuel d'Essarois (Côte-d'Or) : un cas de polydactylie chez les Gallo-Romains ?
2011
During geo-archaeological research on the slope where the source associated with the Essarois (Côte-d'Or) cult site is located, in the locality of La Cave, an anatomic votive offering of a human foot was discovered in the alluvial sedimentary deposits. Carved from local oolitic limestone, it is rather crude in appearance but it is possible to make out that it has the unusual number of six toes. Although it may have been a blunder or the result of negligence by the sculptor, the phenomenon may equally have been a deliberate representation of a case of polydactyly, a malformation that was known in Antiquity.
Oedenburg. Une agglomération d’époque romaine sur le Rhin supérieur : fouilles françaises, allemandes et suisses à Biesheim-Kunheim (Haut-Rhin)
2005
Die römische Fundstelle Oedenburg (Biesheim-Kunheim, Haut-Rhin, France) wird seit 1998 von einem international Team ausgegraben (Ecole pratique des hautes études, Paris, Universität Freiburg im Breisgau, Deutschland, Universität Basel, Schweiz). Gegenüber dem keltischen Oppidum von Breisach, nahe am heutigen Rhein gelegen, war die Siedlung in einer deutlich anderen Landschaft angelegt worden, die damals von verschiedenen Flussarmen durchzogen war. Nach dem bisherigen Stand der Erforschung scheint der Ort zu Beginn der tiberischen Zeit von einem Militärlager besetzt gewesen zu sein, das zum Kommandobereich von Vindonissa im Nordteil des Territoriums der Rauriker gehörte. Zur gleichen Zeit en…

Sanctuaries and religious practices from the 3rd to 5th c. AD in central-eastern Gaul (Lugdunensis I and Maxima Sequanorum)
2014
The available documentation (archaeological data from former and new excavations, written sources) regarding the eastern areas of Gaul is quite copious, offering the possibility to get on main questions about the evolution of the traditional paganism between the Early Empire and Late Antiquity. This collation and classification of sources allows, in particular, to put forward a rather precise phasing of events concerning the changes in cult practices as well about the transformation of equipments and cult sites.
