The People and the State
This volume is the fourth in the series Corollaria Crustumina and deals with the results of the project The People and the State, Material culture, social structure, and political centralisation in Central Italy (800-450 BC). This project of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology, carried out between 2010 and 2015 in close collaboration with the Archaeological Service of Rome, deals with the changing socio-political situation at ancient Crustumerium resulting from Rome's rise to power. The volume brings together data from the domains of geology, geoarchaeology, urban and rural settlement archaeology, funerary archaeology, material culture studies as well as osteological and isotope analyses. On the basis of these data, a relationship is established between changes in material culture on the one hand and developments in social structure and political centralisation in Central Italy on the other in the period between 850 and 450 BC.
Scratching through the surface
This volume is the third in the series Corollaria Crustumina aimed at the publication of conference proceedings, doctoral theses and specialist studies concerning the Latin settlement of Crustumerium (Rome) and its place in central Italian protohistory. It contains the dissertation that Jorn Seubers wrote and defended at the University of Groningen as part of the project "The People and the State. Material culture, social structure and political centralisation in central Italy (800-450 BC)". This detailed study of Crustumerium's urban and rural settlement dynamics, for which the author assembled all data from previous work while adding new landscape archaeological studies and sophisticated territorial and data analyses, elaborates a new scenario on the relation between the urban core and its countryside that is reviewed within the theoretical framework of the debate on early state formation and landscape archeological methodology.
Power and Place in Etruria
This book reconstructs political history from the spatial organization of ancient society, challenging the approach favored by classicists.
The Peoples of Ancient Italy
Although there are many studies of certain individual ancient Italic groups (e.g. the Etruscans, Gauls and Latins), there is no work that takes a comprehensive view of each of them—the famous and the less well-known—that existed in Iron Age and Roman Italy. Moreover, many previous studies have focused only on the material evidence for these groups or on what the literary sources have to say about them. This handbook is conceived of as a resource for archaeologists, historians, philologists and other scholars interested in finding out more about Italic groups from the earliest period they are detectable (early Iron Age, in most instances), down to the time when they begin to assimilate in...
Social Networks and Regional Identity in Bronze Age Italy
This innovative book uses social network analysis to trace the origins of pre-Roman Italian peoples from their earliest exchange networks.
The Archaeology of Nucleation in the Old World
Fourteen papers take advantage of advances in archaeological methods and theory to explore the role of the built environment in expressing and shaping community organization and identity at prehistoric and historic nucleated settlements and early cities in the Old World.
Early states, territories and settlements in protohistoric Central Italy
This volume is the second of the series Corollaria Crustumina aimed at the publication of conference proceedings, doctoral theses and specialist studies concerning the Latin settlement of Crustumerium (Rome) and Italian protohistory. It contains multidisciplinary papers of an international group of archaeologists discussing new fieldwork data and theories of broad relevance to Italian archaeology and with specific relevance to the study of Crustumerium's settlement, cemeteries and material culture in light of the site's cultural identity.
Sviluppo storico della Teverina nell'età del Bronzo e nella prima età del Ferro
Il volume analizza il popolamento in epoca protostorica della vasta area sulla sponda occidentale dell’alto corso del Tevere, tra Orvieto, Orte e Bolsena, detta Teverina. Lo studio si concentra sull’età del Bronzo e sulla Prima età del Ferro, e analizza le forme insediative e i sistemi territoriali presenti nell’area considerata in tali periodi. La prospettiva che emerge è quella di una forte diversificazione dei caratteri della zona, così da rimettere in discussione alcune conclusioni della protostoria date per certe (come la centralità di Orvieto per lo sviluppo dell’intera area). Le sezioni relative alla documentazione e agli apparati completano l’importante offerta scientifica del testo.
