Comparing Greek Colonies
The need for a "new" book on Greek colonization arose to analyse this phenomenon as a long-term process in a wide geographic area. The events related to individual cities and regions, although geographically very distant from each other, are linked through an articulated network of material and immaterial relations and have to be considered as part of a broader mobility process in a Mediterranean perspective. The intention of "Comparing Greek Colonies" is to bring geographically and culturally distant regions such as Southern Italy/Sicily and the Black Sea, closer together, not merely to find "similarities and differences", but to broaden the scholars’ perspective and overcome existing, ge...
Etruscology
This handbook has two purposes: it is intended (1) as a handbook of Etruscology or Etruscan Studies, offering a state-of-the-art and comprehensive overview of the history of the discipline and its development, and (2) it serves as an authoritative reference work representing the current state of knowledge on Etruscan civilization. The organization of the volume reflects this dual purpose. The first part of the volume is dedicated to methodology and leading themes in current research, organized thematically, whereas the second part offers a diachronic account of Etruscan history, culture, religion, art & archaeology, and social and political relations and structures, as well as a systematic treatment of the topography of the Etruscan civilization and sphere of influence.
The Routledge Handbook of Gender Archaeology
This volume presents a comprehensive overview of gender archaeology, both theory and practice, and contributes a substantial and definitive reference work by bringing together state-of-the-art research, theoretical overviews, and the latest debates in the field. Responding to the shifts in the theoretical landscape and the societal and political frameworks within which we produce our knowledge, chapters create both a solid theoretical baseline which help readers grasp the significance of gender in archaeology as well as offer perspectives on how to engender produced knowledge about the past. In line with recent focus on the shortcomings of gender and archaeological representation, chapters a...
Research Into Pre-Roman Burial Grounds in Italy
Research into Pre-Roman Burial Grounds in Italy results from a specialist workshop held at the University of Groningen in 2011 highlighting new results in the field of funerary archaeology. It contains papers on funerary sites in Italy ranging from Verucchio in Emila Romagna to Francavilla Marittima in Calabria between the 9th and 4th centuries BC. Four papers deal with the hundreds of tombs excavated at Crustumerium (Rome). Other papers deal with the necropoleis of Francavilla Marittima, Satricum, Verucchio, Vetulonia and Veii. The volume concludes with an article on the excavation of 3700 medieval and later graves around St. Peter's church in the centre of Berlin offering an example of recent developments in recording and assessing large funerary datasets. Archaeologists working on pre-Roman Italy are indeed frequently confronted with large burial grounds holding hundreds to thousands of graves and having complex excavation and publication histories. These and other challenges of funerary archaeology are conscientiously and creatively addressed by the authors in this volume.
Papers in Italian Archaeology VII: The Archaeology of Death

La Méditerranée et l’Atlantique.
L'auteur cherche à illustrer comment les récits de l’histoire grecque servirent à l’illustration des politiques coloniales des Temps modernes (XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles), au point que les politiques d’États comme celles de la Grande-Bretagne ou de la France furent comparées par plusieurs auteurs de cette époque à celles de cités comme Athènes ou Carthage.
Rex Rusellarum. Le tombe principesche di Sassi Grossi e la nascita di Roselle
Le sepolture dei Sassi Grossi di Roselle rappresentano uno dei più importanti complessi funerari orientalizzanti dell’Etruria settentrionale. Lo scavo, condotto in emergenza tra il 2004 e il 2005 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica della Toscana in seguito a lavori agricoli, ha consentito di mettere in luce due grandi fosse di deposizione, in origine probabilmente inserite all’interno di un grande circolo di pietre. Gli articolati corredi di accompagno, sottoposti a un complesso e paziente progetto di restauro, consentono di attribuire le sepolture a individui posti al vertice della comunità locale: l’eccezionale tripode bronzeo, vero e proprio capolavoro della metallurgia etrusca, le oreficerie, i vasi da banchetto, le armi e altri rari e preziosi oggetti testimoniano l’adesione dei titolari delle tombe agli ideali aristocratici di epoca orientalizzante e il loro pieno inserimento nella fitta trama di rapporti tra élites dominanti dell’Italia centrale. La vicinanza con Roselle non può che aprire nuovi scenari sulla formazione dell’antica città etrusca.
