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.
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.
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.
Archeologia e Calcolatori, Supplemento 7, 2015. Il SITAR nella Rete della ricerca italiana. Verso la conoscenza archeologica condivisa. Atti del III Convegno (Roma, Museo Nazionale Romano, 23-24 maggio 2013)
Gli Atti del III Convegno SITAR (“Il SITAR nella Rete della ricerca italiana. Verso la conoscenza archeologica condivisa”) è publicato nel Supplemento 7 della rivista «Archeologia e Calcolatori».

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.
Archeologia e Calcolatori, Supplemento 9, 2017. Pensare in rete, pensare la rete per la ricerca, la tutela e la valorizzazione del patrimonio archeologico
Il volume sancisce una nuova tappa nell’attività di studio e ricerca della Soprintendenza Speciale Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio di Roma e raccoglie i contributi presentati durante il IV Convegno di Studi SITAR “Pensare in rete, pensare la rete per la ricerca, la tutela e la valorizzazione del patrimonio archeologico”, tenutosi in Roma il 14 ottobre 2015, con l’intento di illustrare i progressi nell’evoluzione progettuale della piattaforma pubblica del Sistema Informativo Territoriale Archeologico di Roma. Il focus del libro è centrato sull'esame delle nuove modalità di divulgazione del patrimonio archeologico che le istituzioni pubbliche e gli enti culturali sono tenuti a conseguire attraverso azioni condivise, in uno scenario che si articola tra nuovi traguardi comunicativi (open data, open access, condivisione di piattaforme applicative e informative) e spazi di interazione digitale ove perseguire una informazione democratica attraverso la libera circolazione dei dati.

Where Do Cities Come From and Where Are They Going To? Modelling Past and Present Agglomerations to Understand Urban Ways of Life
Over the last decade, there has been a surge of interest in urbanization and economic development, sparked by the realization that making urban life sustainable is one of the greatest challenges facing us in the 21st century (this is now one of the core sustainable development goals of the United Nations). This has exerted considerable pressure on researchers to come up with more scientific ways of studying urbanism and economic activity over the long run, which has resulted not only in the development of new theoretical frameworks, but also in the collection of vast amounts of data from a range of settings. This has led to the realization that, although there are significant differences bet...
The Changing Landscapes of Rome’s Northern Hinterland
This study presents a new regional history of the middle Tiber valley as a lens through which to view the emergence and transformation of the city of Rome from 1000 BC to AD 1000. Setting the ancient city within the context of its immediate territory, the authors reveal the diverse and enduring links between the metropolis and its hinterland.
