Grotta Mora Cavorso, from Protohistory to Present Times

This volume contains the results of archaeological research carried out at Grotta Mora Cavorso, a fascinating cave in the still-pristine landscape of the Simbruini Mountains along the Upper Aniene River Valley, central Italy. The book is written by archaeologists for archaeologists, as well as for lovers of archaeology, history and speleology; it describes and critically discusses a wide range of scientific and anthropological analyses carried out over the last 15 years, while integrating them within the contemporary theoretical debate. The first of three volumes, it covers the Historic and Protohistoric periods of human occupation of the cave, revealing its complex and multi-layered use as a burial and ritual place, a possible monastic hermitage, stables and even a war refuge. This book serves to fill the gap in cave archaeology at both a local and wider geographical scale, while demonstrating the key importance of a previously neglected area, thus adding to the overall understanding of the use of caves in Mediterranean Europe.

The recent resurgence of academic interest in caves has demonstrated the central roles they played as arenas for ritual, ceremony and performance, and their importance within later prehistoric cosmologies. Caves represent very particular types of archaeological site and require novel approaches to their recording, interpretation and presentation. This is especially true in understanding the ritual use of caves, when the less tangible aspects of these environments would have been fundamental to the practices taking place within them. Between Worlds explores new theoretical frameworks that examine the agency of these enduring 'natural' places and the complex interplay between environment, taphonomy and human activity. It also showcases the application of innovative technologies, such as 3D laser-scanning and acoustic modelling, which provide new and exciting ways of capturing the experiential qualities of these enigmatic sites. Together, these developments offer more nuanced understandings of the role of caves in prehistoric ritual, and allow for more effective communication, management and presentation of cave archaeology to a wide range of audiences.

Bioarchaeology of Frontiers and Borderlands

Frontiers and territorial borders are places of contested power where societies collide, interact, and interconnect. Using bioanthropological case studies from around the world, this volume explores how people in the past created, maintained, or changed their identities while living on the edge between two or more different spheres of influence. Examining a wide range of borderland settings, essays in this volume discuss the mobility of people in Roman Egypt and investigate patterns of genetic difference in Iron Age Italy. They show how social and cultural interactions helped buffer the stressful physical environment of eleventh-century Iceland and describe bioarchaeological evidence of trau...

Questo libro è il risultato di quattro anni di intensi studi portati avanti, assieme ad altri ricercatori, nell'area dei Castelli Romani (Parco Regionale). Le tracce di antichissime civiltà testimoniano come l'area fosse popolata da uomini progrediti, in grado di scavare profondi tunnel sotterranei con tecniche che oggi non conosciamo e di conoscere e sfruttare l'astronomia più di quanto oggi saremmo in grado di fare con dei sistemi rudimentali. Cosa nasconde realmente questa immensa area situata alle porte di Roma? Probabilmente contatti ancestrali con divinità non umane e opere megalitiche costruite da popoli oggi estinti di cui non sappiamo nulla. La storia deve essere riscritta! Disponibile anche in formato elettronico.
